So, for those of you who haven't been here, we thought we'd show you around the place! It's a tiny space (about 850 square feet), but we love it! When we first moved in, we were super obsessed with keeping everything as clean as possible at all times! While we still try to keep things clean, sometimes certain areas can get slightly out of hand (come on, who likes cleaning the kitchen, really?).
Luckily for you, I took pictures while the kitchen was relatively clean the other day! Yes, there's a crockpot in the sink waiting to be washed, and there's a few items on top of the fridge (we think of that area as extra storage space, so you'll have to pardon the disarray up there), but there wasn't a dirty-dish monster crawling out of the sink (as there currently is) and the counters were wiped clean. :)
My favorite part of our apartment is our awesome ugly couch. I found it at a garage sale about a week before we moved in, and I was able to get it for $150, which is a pretty good deal when you consider that there's about THIRTEEN FEET worth of couch here to sit on! Kayla was worried about whether we'd even be able to fit it in our living room when I told her how big it was. Luckily, it fit against the wall with about a foot between it and the door. We really wanted a sofa-bed when we were shopping around, but since the couch is so massive (and comfy, I might add!), we decided that our guests could just suck it up and sleep on the couch if they were going to spend the night. While it doesn't go with our decor AT ALL, it serves it's purpose, and that's really all you can ask for when you're as broke as we are!

| If that's not ugly enough for you, wait til you see how badly it clashes with the beautiful color on the opposite wall! | |
Do you like our twin bookshelves from
Ikea? And did you notice our lovely shadeless lamp just sitting there on the floor? Oh goodness...that lamp is another story for another time! We still haven't figured out what to do with it. Well, think that's it for now... There's bound to be an episode of hoarders/intervention/obsessed on tv that we haven't managed to see yet. See you soon!
What? You don't like your wall color now? The sofa will look better with some cute throw pillows on it, and we all start out with funky hand me down stuff, it's part of having your own apartment for the first time. Just think how much fun you will have making it pretty:>)
ReplyDeleteI love you guys!
I LIKE YO WALL COLOR! and i don't think your couch is all that comfy to be honest :) it's ok though. I love you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteno no no...i love the wall color still. the couch just clashes horribly with it lol
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at the photo and thinking...
ReplyDelete1. You need some art girl! Look at that big blank wall above the sofa!
2. Pillows, I think the forms are 50% off this week you know where.
3. You know, you could paint your bookshelves black and then they would match Kaylas.
4. Paint the tv stand black and it would unify the whole wall.
Just sayin.
haha you can't paint laminate and have it look good! i might consider painting the tv stand, but look how far i've gotten with painting my dresser and our dining room chairs lol. As for the big gaping blank spot on the wall, Victoria promised us some artwork for that area, so we've been holding out for her masterpiece. And thanks for the sale info about JoAnn's! Maybe I'll make it in there this weekend... Suggestions on fabrics that wouldn't clash too bad with the sofa? hahaha
