Our Apartment: Moving In

Dixie mentioned it might be fun to take before and after pictures of our apartment to feel better about the progress we are making while unpacking. Here are some pictures of our box-filled apartment. Pictures of a pristine and organized apartment still to come :).

Floor Plan

Here is the floor plan for our apartment, maybe this will help you make sense of the rest of the pictures.

Entry Hall



This is what you see when you first walk into the apartment (if you turn a little bit to the right). The room that you can see through the doorway is the living room. If you were to turn to your left you would see a small wall closet and then the bedroom and bathroom (shown below).



Our Lovely Bathroom


All of the pipes exploded in our building right before we moved in so they had to tear out the walls in the bathroom and have been in the process of adding the tile back right above the tub. The tile man was at our apartment all day today and we're not sure if he's coming back tomorrow. The pictures below show how in shambles our bathroom has been. Having limited access to our bathroom has made moving in quite the adventure.


Bathroom minus sink, tile and shower faucets.


The Bedroom


This is a picture of our bedroom from the entry hall. The one below is taken from the top left corner of the picture above.


The Living Room



This is a picture of the living room as you walk in from the entry hall. The picture below is taken from where the fan is in this picture.



You can see the door way into the kitchen on the right and the doorway back into the entry hall on the left.

The Dining/Utility Room

This is our dining room taken from the entry way of the living room. You can see the door leading into the kitchen on the far wall. The picture below is taken from the top left corner of this picture.


The Kitchen


This is the kitchen coming from the dining room. Below is a picture taken from the other side of the kitchen, which you can't see in this picture because it is shaped like an L and is on the left. Sorry the picture below isn't the best for being able to tell whats going on (there were too many boxes in the way to get a good shot). Basically along the left there is a dishwasher, a sink, and then the gas stove that you can see. Behind me is a door out to an alleyway.


My Birthday Flowers!


My mom sent me flowers for my birthday that were a great housewarming present and a pleasant surprise!

I'm sure you will really love it once the firecrackers stop and the bathroom is complete. It's always fun to set up a new apartment. Enjoy. Dixie
