We have been living in our new apartment for a few weeks now and although it was a bit of an adjustment, we love our new space. My favorites are the tall ceilings and all the natural light that comes through. It doesn't feel so apartment-y. The kitchen, living room and dining are one big open space.
The living room is pretty bare. I have plans for a gallery wall above the couch. And we have a TV mounted on the opposite wall that really needs a media table under it. The space could also use a rug and of course a coffee table. But we don't want to invest too much in this space since we are hoping to begin building within the next couple of years. I think Everly really enjoys the extra space to run around anyway. And our new house is where we really want to invest our money. But at the same time I want to make the apartment somewhat homey since we will be here for a while. Oh the internal debate.
The kitchen is another favorite of mine. I love the floors, countertop and backsplash. Although the dishwasher doesn't open all the way. It runs into the bottom handle of the oven. That's kind of a pain. But I can deal with it for a year or two. The dining space is to the left of the picture below. It's just an empty space right now so it's not pictured. We sold our kitchen table last year when we moved into my mom's house. So that is on our to-buy list. I'm thinking IKEA may be our best bet for inexpensive furniture. Hopefully I can talk Chad into making a little road trip.
The bedrooms are good sizes and have great closet space. Everly's is probably the only room in the whole place completely finished.
We still need curtains in our bedroom. And prints need to be hung. We are also considering installing a ceiling fan/light. It's a pain to have to find your way to the lamps and turn all of them on at night.
I didn't take pictures of our bathrooms but they are huge! The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the apartment too which is nice. We even have a small porch you can see a little bit of through the right window above. We will really enjoy that this spring. Overall we really love the space and have settled in nicely. Everly seems to love it too which is the most important thing. We are looking forward to the year ahead and are happy with our new apartment life.
