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.
I have 2 entertainment centers in my garage. One nice one that I just sold, and the one Shawn built when we were first married. I wish I could get it to you! Not that yours isn't genius though! And. Your readers appreciate the post.
ReplyDeleteGreat apartment! Were I you, I would keep it for next year, stay living with no room mates in this comfy looking place.
ReplyDeleteA door mat would be better outside your front door than a rug, I think.
Nice place!
Nice place. Maybe you could come help decorate our next place.
