New Apartment: The Kitchen

So I don't mean to start this post off on a negative note or anything, but I'm not too crazy about this kitchen. Its super-duper out dated, the appliances could legally drink, for sure. I mean, we have a TRASH COMPACTOR, when was the last time those things were in vogue? 1982? But I guess there are a lot of good things, you know the huge cabinets no wait, the amble countertops, errr the windows? Yes, yes the windows are good. It's also, kind of a weird U shape, which is good for cooking, I guess. You know, since everything is in arms distance from everything else. And we only have one cutlery drawer, so we found these handy buckets at Ikea for our utensils. And don't get me started on the floor--those tiles need to be ripped up and burned. At the stake. Since they're EVIL, but I digress. The kitchen is good, for now. And despite its vast shortcomings, we're making it work. So there. ;)

None of these bottles fit in our cabinets, so now they live on our counter ;)

my mixer Large Marge is the best thing in this kitchen

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Timer watch over our spice collection...

...and speaking of spices, the first thing my Mom said when she came to visit was "You sure have a lot of spices, damn"
(errr, she didn't actually say 'damn' but I thought it added to the statement. So there.)

New Apartment: The Bedroom

Well, things are still a MA-JOR work in progress around here but here are some pictures of the tres-comfortable (and hopefully tres chic) bedroom. I have to say, that my interior design inspiration mostly comes from this girl (I want to literally steal everything in her apartment--no joke on that one). I've also realized that I seriously heart white with accent colors. My Mom is always pushing me to incorporate color and I have say that I like my colors just the way they are THANK YOU VERY MUCH! ;)

I have some seriously plans for that HUGE blank wall behind our bed, but I'm not sure if I want to hang some wall art or to create some sort of headboard. The possibilities are ENDLESS ya'll...well not entirely endless since we can't paint. But you get my drift.

Well, enjoy....
