We moved. It was just across the street but the snow on the ground sure made things interesting (or messy). We started as soon as we got the keys to the new place on Wednesday (the 6th). We actually hadn't ever seen the inside of the new apartment before getting the keys. We'll take you through it as we first saw it.
The kids room. It's tiny and a little difficult to arrange with the radiator, closet and door taking up 3 out of the 4 corners in the room. That's okay though; the rest of the apartment is a vast improvement over our other place.
The living room (view #1).
The living room (view #2). Look at all those windows! Lots of pretty light during the day.
We even have an extra room they call a "covered porch." We call it Tyler's man cave. Actually we never really called it that but it definitely has been designated as Tyler's area to store stuff and work on projects.
This is a very messy living room as we were getting toward the end of the unpacking process. Tyler may still have 5 more semesters of books left but with this much shelf space I say, "Bring it on."
Our ginormous bathroom with a fullsize tub and room for two people to stand at the sink at one time!
The dining room. We've got space for our table (with a leaf or two), the bulk of the kids' toys, and all my craft stuff; it's awesome!
The kitchen.
A coffee bar (adorably arranged by the Organization Queen: Courtney).
The beautiful, spacious, glorious pantry.
The pantry even has this spot which fits all my spices perfectly.
Sunday evening, with the bulk of the moving done, we celebrated with Smore cupcakes, mochas and a movie. The cupcakes might have been a little lopsided and dented but what they lacked in beauty they made up for in deliciousness (thanks
bakerella for posting this wonderful recipe just in the nick of time).
Courtney and Asher.
Thanks Courtney for all your help. You were an integral cog in this moving machine. (I bet you always wanted to be called a 'cog'.)
