In the last 6 weeks, I found a apt, went to WI for a week, flew home with my kitchen aid mixer, drove 7 hours to get to new apt (over 2 days), drove back 2 1/2 hours to my sister for a few days, bought a ton of furniture and other apartment necessities, and best of all have spent every weekend (but the one I was in WI of course) with Dave. On the final walk-through before moving in to the apartment we discovered that the AC, ice maker, and garbage disposal were all broken. Because it is unbelievably HOT here our very kind land-lady found someplace with AC for us to stay until it was fixed. Since moving in I found a leak in the water line that runs to the ice maker, the chain in the toilet broke so it wouldn't flush, a leak under the bathroom sink that was over an inch deep and moldy, something else wrong with the toilet so it wouldn't flush again, and 3 live roaches (3 dead/dying). Despite that I really like our little place and as the maintenance man said I'm just getting all these problems out of the way now (it's been over a week since anything has broke)
Here is the living room from the corner of the room by the front door. We bought almost all our furniture on craigslist. The couches have safari printed pillows, which isn't really my thing but they are growing on me. I LOVE the coffee table, it's huge and has 4 baskets under it. By the way no kitchen table here we just eat on the couch or on the stools.
Here is the living room from the opposite corner. Now you can see our awesome TV cabinet.
This is the view from the front door down the hallway. There are 3 closets on the right. 1 a "coat" closet but it is the same size as a bedroom closet. 2 the linen closet that I use as the pantry. 3 the water/ac closet which also has room for the vacuum cleaner, the trash can, and a few other cleaners and things. The kitchen is on the left.
The kitchen is small, but not too small. It has a lot of cabinets, some are still empty.
The bathroom is down the hall on the left just past the kitchen.
This is a close-up of the towel rack/shelf that I installed all by my self. I'm so very proud of it. Dave looked at it when he came home on the weekend and said I did a good job.
Walking into the bedroom this is what you see.
Here's the bedroom from the far corner. The bed is a queen size elevated air mattress. It's actually pretty comfy.
Last is the laundry "room" it is actually inside one of the bedroom closets. I didn't know how I felt about this, but we liked that the washer/dyer was included. Now it doesn't bother me at all. If is was still a closet it would likely be empty anyway.That's the apartment!
