Our Apartment

Alright, here it is. I just want to let you know, we're not done with it. But I'm not sure how long it will take me to be done putting things away and organizing, so I went ahead and took some pictures. :)
This is our kitchen (view from the front door). That door that you see on the back wall is a door to the "laundry room" (basically a big hallway with a washer and dryer in it). It also happens to be where we are discreetly storing our grill-- shhhhhhh. Oh, and there is a stove/oven behind that envelope box.
This is the front part of our living room (looking over from the dining nook). The front door is on your left. We went to IKEA this weekend and bought this much needed bookshelf. Our previous one didn't do so well in the move and the change is nice.

This is the other part of our living room. Not too exciting. I don't think you can tell, but I'm watching Rachel Ray this morning!


Our lovely bathroom. This was the best angle I could get. The toilet and sink are on the other side of the door...use your imagination.


Lastly, our bedroom. Yes, this is pretty much all that fits in our bedroom. We do have a dresser on the wall closest to the door, but that's about it. It's a little smaller than our last apartment, but we are so grateful. It is clean and pretty well kept up. What more could we ask for?!

OH, and for those of you who have never seen one of these: this is a dish strainer. Commonly used in the apartments built in the "pre-dishwasher era"...aka: every apartment in the city of Portland. This has been the hardest thing to get used to:) haha

your room is also known as the "living room". i couldn't call it the sprague room...the others might get jealous:)

hey! you bet i would...and i think you should call it the emily room since i'll be the first to visit...sounds logical to me.

and about the dish rack...we've had one of those for a year-you totally get used to it! can't wait to see it...

Can I do this too? This looks like too much fun.
Your apt looks great, esp the kitchen!

Even for those of us still in civilization(the Springs!) a dish rack can be in daily use! And I thought I would graduate to a dishwasher, and did, then regressed!!! hahaha!
