Ok, so Saturday will make it a week that we have lived here and so I feel pretty accomplished there are still many things to be done but you will see what as I take you on a personal tour of my college apartment. I call it a college apartment because our rent is $525, and we have to hand wash our dishes, and we have no disposal and well it's just tiny! A whole closet size small than our last place. Literally an entire closet less!
The kitchen, this is the most used room by the adults so it is the most tidy.
The dinning area... still need to finish hanging stuff on the wall
A view of our front room
The piano... yes we still have it and it wasn't the problem moving in, the problem was our big green plaid couch!
My make shift seat for the girls. Our chalk board coffee table with the cushion from our couch on it, and my throw pillos and the bean bag as a pillow... it all works... and they seem to enjoy it most of the time, when it's not used as a slide! Until we sell the couch and the coffe table =( this is how it will be.
Ta Da! My craft closet. It is under the stairs that go up and so it's angled... I am not even close to being done getting this the way I want... I need shelves or something... in time.. hey i got at least 2 years!
What Dave refers to as wasted space... but I got creative I hate searching for my purse, or our jackets etc and so I just put a hanger on the wall since we don't have a coat closet. This is where I put stuff that needs a new home... it was stacked half way with boxes until this morning.
the bathroom... (with a window)
behind the bathroom door... currently storage space for all the cardboard boxes until I unpack my last one (hopefully soon) than they all go to recycle somewhere... this is where my stackable washer and dryer will go once I get some... which will be next week (cross my fingers...) it's cheaper than going to the one and only laundromat in town, which after washing a weeks worth of clothes It cost me $18 yeah the washer and dryer will pay for its self in no time!
So far pretty organized... the office area in our bedroom...
our dresser and closet. I didn't get a picture of the girls room, partly because Daphne was asleep and partly because it is not quite all there... there are still boxes in the top of there closet that I need to unload and organize etc. Our bedroom is bigger than our last... but the space was taken from the girls room... its pretty small... I am thinking creatively how to store in there room...
Ok... so what I fill my down time with... playing with my new IPHONE!!! Yes I know.. i complain because we are poor college students (well not right now actually we are just preparing for September when we will be.) well We priced the internet and the phone like we had in Kennewick and it was actually cheaper for us to just get college internet and buy new phones... this way we have cell phones and stay with in our budget... and besides they are rad! These are only 3G and they are normally $500 a piece we got both for $100 (Dave has one too)
My first page of apps
second
and so far just a third... it's rad... there are exercise apps, book apps... and calorie tracker apps and they are all free. I have a library of books... and so I can just fall asleep holding this instead of an actual book.. I know so lazy I have become. We even have the church ones downloaded... primary songs, the scriptures, and the church materials... But i told Dave I won't turn it on at church unless I am getting someones number because I think it's tacky... my scriptures and stuff will be with me... I get more out of it that way! We do read our nightly scriptures on here though because its in-between when we are playing or texting family or friends... it's a blast I tell you... I know how I lived with out it but in all honesty I don't want to again... they are the silver lining in my somewhat crappy circumstances!
