THE NEW APARTMENT!!!

This is probably going to be a long post, as I have a bunch of pictures to share!  I still don’t have internet in my apartment, so I have to come down the road to the coffee shop with free Wifi.  Hopefully I will have internet in my apartment by Friday.

I’m all settled into my new apartment now, and I LOVE IT.  Everything seemed to match and come together without really trying.  Here are some of the before pictures from when I moved in (with all my junk lying around haha)

It was larger than I anticipated, and thankfully the walls were painted beige instead if bright white.  It makes the space feel more comfortable and relaxing.  It took a lot of time, but eventually I got it looking how I want.

Here’s my awesome little kitchen!  When I moved in, the dishwasher made an awful noise, so they replaced it with a new one.  So I have all new appliances!  The kitchen was dark, but dad saw that brown swag lamp at a yardsale, and now I have light in my kitchen! 

That little glass front hutch was probably one of the best yard sale finds I have ever made.  When I saw it, the door was crooked and the shelves weren’t hanging in it.  It was also a little dirty. I asked how much, and when the lady said $10 I gave it another look and decided that for $10 it was worth trying to fix it up. Dad changed the hinges so the door is straight again, and after some cleaning and new knobs it looks like new!  I love it

Sorry for the blurry photo, but this is my living room!

The couch is new, and its the first time I’ve ever bought new furniture.  I was warned by a bunch of people not to get used couches because CO has a very bad bed bug problem right now.  Also, my apartment complex is one of the few in the area without bed bugs, and they asked me to please not bring any in.  So, heres my awesome couch!  Its leather and microsuede and I love that the pillows are different on each side, so I can basically change my couch colors whenever I want.  I normally wouldn’t have chosen orange, but it actually works REALLY well in my apartment!

This is my desk/sewing space.  I love working on my sewing at this table, but it doesn’t work too well as a desk.  Maybe I’ll eventually add a desk to my apartment, but for right now, this table serves its purpose.

This is the world’s smallest bathroom.  Seriously.  Its like being in a closet.

My bedroom still needs some more decorating.  Right now all I have is my awesome painting from Steph, and a mirror.  I spent most of my time focused in my living space for now.  For my bedroom I’m trying to use blues and whites, so maybe I’ll find some more decorations for cheap.  I am walking distance from a goodwill ^_^

I’m SO excited about this massive closet.  Its even bigger than it looks here, because each edge goes into the wall some.  I have so much space for all my clothes!!!!

Everyone should come visit me.  Here are 5 good reasons to come visit me.

#1 DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS

#2 RAINBOWS!

#3 DENVER!

#4 MORE DINOSAURS!

#5 CRINOID FOSSILS!

Okay, so the fossils are a little dorky, but I think their awesome.

I miss everyone!!!

BTW.  Don’t go to Kansas.  You only need one reason…I give you Jesus of the Corn
