Our New Apartment

I'm finally done! Actually, that's not true. I still need to add 2 things, but I figured this post can happen without those 2 things! I still need to make the headboard for the guest room...I'll explain more later. And I need to find a third curtain-pull-back thing for our room since Wal-mart ran out of our color. But I'm super excited to finally be (almost) finished and to share our new home with y'all! Working on the apartment has pretty much been the only thing I've done in my free time/weekends for the past month, and I am thrilled for it to end soon! So....here it is! (You can click on the pictures to make them HUGE!)

Master Bedroom:


(This is where I need the 3rd pull-back thing)



My huge, wonderful closet. This is the first time I've ever been able to fit all of my clothes into ONE CLOSET!


There really wasn't much to work with in our bathroom. It's pretty outdated, but at least it's big and has everything we need!


The guest bedroom (yes! we are now accepting visitors! :)
I definitely needed a girly room in the apartment, so this room makes me happy everytime I look in it. Majority of the stuff in here, besides the bedding, is from my room during college.

**The only thing missing from this room is the headboard. I want to make a picket fence headboard, and I went to buy the pickets this weekend...apparently there are chemicals in them and they are not for indoor use. So my awesome dad said he can cut me some pickets if I pick out a design I like! Hopefully we can do the project in the next couple weeks! I'll definitely do a post on it once it's done!**

Doug and I made the mosaic on the wall when we first started dating...we bought sheets of glass, painted them different colors, smashed them with hammers, and glued them into a design!

Mom and I came up with this cute little idea. I had used this pail in my bathroom during college, and we figured some hydrangeas would look good in there!

I think this is my favorite room now. I love the fireplace and the huge glass door. (and I finally finished the curtains! Check 'em out!)


Pep sits here all day and watches birds and squirrels. (We just bought that bird feeder yesterday but no birds came...Doug was very disappointed...how do they find the feeders anyway?!)

My favorite thing in the apartment...I looooove this fireplace!



The kitchen and dining area


One of my very favorite wedding gifts! I loooove this tray and just had to find somewhere to put it! (Thanks McCleskeys! :)


And that's it! Hope you enjoyed the tour :)
