This is our new home!

Welcome to the first picture series of our new home! I am pretty close to being done with everything, but of course, I didn't show the "messy" parts of the apartment that still have to be organized. :) Tricky how a photographer can leave out the ugly parts of a picture, eh?

Here is our main living space. It is right off the front door and the first thing you see. We bought some "new" furniture, as in new to us, but gently loved by someone else. This couch was $69 and the chair was $69, and the ottoman was $25! You've got to love living in a college town, huh? We also purchased all of the rugs that you see in these pictures, as the entire house has wood floors (old wood floors). You can also catch a glimpse of the "Peace Plant" my loving family sent us to welcome us to our "home away from home". I absolutely love it!!

The main room has an 8 foot sliding glass door that goes out to the patio and shared green space. There are several children in this area and toys are everywhere. It looks sort of trashy in this picture, but I think that is due to the fact that the weather is quite stormy and dreary today. The apartments you see across the way is the building our building has a BBQ with every Monday night.
Just behind the couch in the living room is where we have Brant's office set up. He loves his new space and is excited to work and study here. :) This, of course, is a good thing, as it is primarily the reason we are here in the first place.
Directly across from his office is our dining room, and in the corner is where Tucker sleeps. We didn't forget about him!

Through the dining room is our quaint kitchen. Although it is small, it has a dishwasher (!), which is a step up for us, and has lots of little splashes of red, which I love. I'm quite pleased with it. The picture does not show the other part of the kitchen, which includes the gas stove/oven and the fridge - but you know what those look like.



Here is the main hallway that leads from the living room to the bedrooms, although this shot is taken from the opposite angle. The main reason for posting a picture of the hallway is for my Dad; I wanted to show him that we found a place for the mirror to hang - the wall feels good and sturdy for the heavy mirror, Dad! It looks great!
Here is our pink-tiled bathroom! It actually is not half as bad as I was expecting. There is a window, which you can't see, that looks out onto a big grassy lawn with trees.
Here is Maddie's nursery! I'm not completely done with it, and there are a few things missing. The back corner shelf is not right, but I wanted to take the picture anyway. :) She and I love how it is turning out! (Brant thinks its great, too!)
This is what Maddie was up to while I was taking pictures...
And finally, here is a picture of our bedroom. We have two windows (one is not pictured), and we both have full size closet spaces, which is a first since we got married! And, Dad, the furniture looks great and the repairs made this summer are working nicely. Thank you!


I hope you enjoyed the picture show! The only thing missing is YOU! Come for a visit, we have lots of space to blow up an air mattress and let you stay awhile! :)
