there's no place like home!

Our apartment is finally starting to feel like a home, and not just an apartment. We love it! It's really awesome- except our upstairs neighbors can be a little heavy footed every now and then.

Our fire place. It will be really neat when winter rolls around again to be able to build a fire. We'll have to have people over a smores party or something. =p

This is the view from the from the front door.
The tv, dvd player/vcr, cable box, wii, xbox, and surround sound- all the fun stuff! And that's our love sack over in the corner- it's so big a cozy! And yes, that is general conference on the tv.


This is our fabulous $50 couch. It's really ultra comfortable- we found it on craigslist, like most of the furniture in the apartment. Nathan didn't want his picture taken.

Here's a view of the living room from the kitchen. It gives a good view of the fabulous french doors that go out to our patio. I love letting the natural light in. The giant mirror on the wall is probably one of my most favorite things that we own. It's so cool- it's a craigslist treasure too- though it originally came from IKEA.

Here is our little kitchen. We've got a pretty little junk collection on top of the cupboards- it's not really "junk," it's just stuff that we both had that we aren't quite sure what to do with. The vase on the counter, Nathan painted for me for Valentines day, and the flowers inside are my wedding bouquet.

This is our dining room table- also from craigslist and our new bookcase. I felt like the bookcase was like the finishing touch to the front room. It feels complete and homey now. The mirror hanging on the wall in the dining room was given to us by Nathan's grandma when we took a trip to St. George after we got engaged.

The hallway- the least exciting part of the house. The first door on the right is the guest room- Nathan wouldn't let me take a picture yet, because right now it's more of a storage room, while we're still trying to find a home for all our things. Across from the guest room is our teeny tiny washer and dryer- the biggest down side to living in an apartment. I feel like we have to wash clothes every single day.

Next to the laundry closet is Nathan's bathroom. He doesn't like the master bathroom because it has a tub/shower. He likes the regular shower in the hallway bathroom- so that's the one he uses most of the time. I don't mind though....

That just leaves more space in the big bathroom for me!

Our bed.

Our giant dresser unit. I have a ton of clothes- so we needed a lot of space. Nathan thinks we even need more drawers than that. =/ Maybe it's time to do a clean out....

So that's a brief tour of our new home! Thanks for stopping by!
