Tour

Here are the 'promised' pictures of our new place...(remember we live downtown, so our place is not your 'typical' apartment)...

First stop is the front door, which is at the bottom of the stairs. The second set of stairs to the right lead up to the living room and office (you can see the office doorway at the top of the stairs). I am actually standing on a smaller set of stairs, like the ones to the right, that lead up to the kitchen.

This is what I see when I turn around, from the small set of stairs that I'm standing on, our kitchen.

Our dining room table is immediately on your left when you walk into the kitchen. The wall to the left of the table and directly behind me are completely blank. I want to get something to put up at least on the wall behind me, but I'm not sure what 'that' is yet.

The kitchen.

From where I'm standing if you turn towards your left, just a little, and look straight back you will be headed towards our bathroom and laundry room. Straight in front of you is the bathroom, hence the toilet, and you can see another door frame on the right, which is the laundry room.

The is what are bathroom door looks like. Our landlords wanted to use as many original pieces as possible.

The bathroom, which is actually a lot larger than it looks in the picture. My favorite part is the mirror, which goes up to the ceiling.

The laundry room, which also has the same glass door as the bathroom, minus the 'Private.'

We are now headed to the front part of the house. On the landing, which is located at the top of the stairs, from the front door, I hung up some hooks for our coats. The stairs you see on the right lead up to the kitchen.

When I turn around and go through the doorway to my right this is what I see...our office. That is the new desk that Sven and I just bought from Crate and Barrel. We are leaving the closet doors open because as you can see there are tons of built in shelves and drawers below, which we are using as office storage. (Please ignore the wires, Sven still needs to hide them)

A closer view of our desk.

Off of the office, through the doorway, is a half bath. A REALLY, REALLY small half bath. It has the smallest sink I have ever seen in my life! (Don't worry the toilet is regular sized)

Now when I turn around and look though the doorway behind me, the office has two doorways one to the right of where I'm standing and one directly behind me, I see this...

Here is our living room, which is HUGE.

Here is a close up picture of the area rug that we bought. It has blues, browns and tans mixed in. I really like it and think it helps to warm up the room.

With the placement of our furniture our living room is actually divided in two. So the area behind the sofa looks like this...
Here is the last picture of our living room. This is the view from behind the couch looking forward.

I still have pictures to take of the bedroom, which I will have uploaded soon. So stay tuned...
