Our First Apartment

I think it's important to document Justin and I's first home together as a married couple. It's incredibly small, we pay WAY too much a month for it and I am not allowed to paint anything but it will have been the place we spent our first 9 months of marriage in. Pictures are included for more distinct memories.

This is our entryway. That magnificent piece of artwork about our fireplace is the guest tree we made at our wedding. It includes all of the fingerprints of our guests who shared inthat special day with us. I think its just peachy. And that curtained book shelf by the front door, I made that. No big deal. I am just craft like that. And we do not own that tv. It came with the apartment. HOW COOL IS THAT! 

I never realized how much space a kitchen needs until I had absolutely none. I have 2 tiny spaces of counter top, not big enough to prepare anything on. So I put cutting boards on the stove top and make shift a counter out of that. I am bursting at the seams in this teeny weeny kitchen but I have made some lovers meals here so I am find of that memory :)

Our dining room is kind of a waste of space since we never use it but it looks darn good being there anyway. We bought this dining table at Fred Meyer's for 300 bucks thanks to a wedding gift from my wonderful grandma and grandpa Haller. My dad and I put it together one day and he managed to drill a hole through one of the chairs into the table top. He swore a lot and we fixed it with black sharpie. Good as new!

Bathroom. Enough said.

I spy with my little eye, a Chloe and Jesus. 

The magic is supposed to happen here, mostly sleep does. And the comforter is missing because some little puppy who I will not mention (Chloe) decided to have an accident on it. Its been thrown away since then but now she has learned that she must hold it if she is gonna sleep under the covers with mom and her sister. Progress!

Our second hand couches also bought with 300 dollars but from craigslists instead. And lamps from target, old nightstands from my room and a coffee table I hate cause its cheap. But who am I to complain. We are poor and my apartment looks much more put together than most peoples.

Dresser I bought and put together from Ikea. A bookshelf I also put together. Actually most of the put together furniture in our home was done entirely by me. Without Hubby Help. I find something wrong with that concept. 

Beautiful view of rooftops. 

and two fur babies eating breakfast thrown in.
