Apartment: Home Sweet Home

Here it is, much anticipated, long awaited....that's right, it's the apartment blog post. Many of you have asked me to post pictures of my apartment so you can see this place we're calling home for the next year. It's not much, but it'll do for a year. It definitely took some getting used to when we first got here. It was rather small, which I was expecting, but it was even smaller than I first thought. Also, there was the fact that there was no kitchen sink, something I didn't anticipate, but we've made due. We also don't have an oven here, so I've been trying my best to use my chefing skills on our two plate stove top, and I haven't been doing too badly if I do say so myself.

The bed. That's literally all that's in this corner with two walls on either side. There's also that brown shelf where we keep our clothes. Very cozy. The only way to exit the bed is from the foot of it. Snug as a bug!

Standing at the foot of the bed you get this view of the desk. Excuse the mess, that's where I let Dave keep all his piles of papers (otherwise they'd end up on the kitchen table)

Standing in front of the window you get this view of the kitchen table and the front door.

On one side of the table, along the wall, is where our fridge is located. It's tiny, but we've managed to fit a few food items in amongst the beer. We also bought a few shelves to put food and dishes on. 

On the other side of the table is the door to the bathroom and a little closet area. There is also the stove top and a cupboard below. This is where all my culinary masterpieces get created. Please someone give me some stove top cooking ideas! 

Here is the view of the bathroom from the door way. 

On one side we have the tub/shower.

In the middle is the toilet and the sink is on the other side. Pretty standard. The toilet does flush funny though, took me a second to figure it out when I first went. You have to pull up on a silver knob at the top of the toilet. The flush is also quite vigorous.

You may have noticed the lack of kitchen sink. Who needs one of those anyway, especially when you've got one of these babies. We put this plastic tub into the bathtub and fill it with soapy water...voila! Kitchen sink substitute! 

So there you have it. It's not much, but it's home (for now)...and it sure is cozy.

Come visit, we'll find room for you somewhere!

Until next time...

Au revoir
