Coming through the front door you enter the living room, featuring the "wall of friendly faces" where we get to see some of you every day. This space also doubles as our primary dining area, as you can see from the small table and two chairs. We're learning that furniture items need to serve multiple purposes in a small space, and in this case the dining chairs magically turn into living room furniture by rotating them 90 degrees.
Here is our new futon! It also serves two purposes: living room sofa and guest bed. We've also used mirrors throughout the apartment to make it feel bigger, which seems to be working so far.
Meet Ramon, the adjustable height desk that I built with my dad last summer. It makes my shoulders happy because I can stand up while working on the computer, but then I can sit down when I get tired. It's a one-of-a-kind desk with a completely original design. He currently lives in the living/dining room, off to the side.
This is our master bedroom, showing off our beautiful wedding quilt from Nancy.
The ceilings are only about 7 feet high, which makes the room very cozy. But it also means that we'll have to disassemble this wardrobe when we eventually move, since we can't tip it forward without running into the ceiling!
Our awesome awesome awesome kitchen. Love it.
And we use the white board to keep track of where we parked the car...and when we have to move it.
I haven't taken any pictures of the second bedroom yet, but basically we turned it into a home office for Mike. It's at the far end of the house past the kitchen, and has its own bathroom and walk-in closet, where we store most of our "other stuff". We have definitely noticed the lack of basement (our previous storage location for "other stuff"), but hopefully it will help us cut down on non-essential possessions.
Please schedule a visit if you want an in-person tour. We welcome visitors on any and all weekends!
