My Apartment

Mom told me she wanted to see what my apartment looked like. So here are a few pictures.

My bedroom. It features the Ninja Turtle bedspread Grandma made me 20 years ago, a tall Wal-Mart lamp, an Ikea nightstand, a Goodwill desk lamp, and picture of Hong Kong skyline. Not pictured is the walk-in closet and bike.

Kitchen. Jena's brother Nate came to St. George a few months ago and unloaded all his old kitchen stuff and was getting rid of it. The fancy black canisters and big salt & pepper shakers are from that. The toaster came from Ben & Jena, the microwave from Mom, and the knives from Ikea. If you look closely you can see a Chinese dragon and Cayman Island salt & pepper shakers on the microwave.

Living room. The couch and coffee table were Craigslist finds. The coffee table opens up into a big game table. I'll post about it someday (seeing as I never have much to post, that'll satisfy my 3 readers for a day sometime). The hat collection represents Newport Beach, Jamaica, China (Qing Dynasty), and Turkey. The Chinese characters say "Thomas."

I "built" this entertainment center. One of my most clever money-saving items.


This is my apartment from the outside. Mine is the bottom one on the left.

A view from underneath the stairs. There's a hook there for a hangy plant. But alas I have no plant to hang.

And here's my door. I should also get a rug. Someday.
