Our welcome mat coming into the apartment.
Welcome to number 2222 (I love our apartment number)
The view out our front door.
Coming down our front steps. We have our own stairs that are not shared with any other apartments. We really like that!
Welcome to our Living Room. Off to the right is our front door. Then you have our new couches and coffee table. There is a matching end table in between the two couches.
Our TV and that side of the room. We really like the little ledge that you can see at the top of the picture from our vaulted ceiling. We spent some time deciding how to decorate it and the only thing we have missing is the temple picture we are still saving money to buy :)
The other side of the wall in the living room that leads into the kitchen. You can see the entrance to the hallway and the rest of the apartment to the left. You will notice that the wall is brown. We were able to have accent walls painted by the maintenance before we moved in. The brown is one of the colors they offered. The other walls are colors we went and picked out and brought them the paint. We really enjoy having the accent walls painted, it makes it feel like home :)
Another view of our living room going into the kitchen.
Here is our kitchen. We love it, but wish there were more drawers and cupboard space. We got a baker's rack that you see on the right of the picture to give us some extra storage space. We also have mugs hanging from the wall above it.
Here is the dining room. Again, we have an accent wall painted red. The table we have is temporary. Theresa is saving up for a nice big table from Sam's club. But, the folding table actually works great for now!
Leading out from our dining room you have the balcony. We don't use it right now for anything but storage. We want to eventually put some chairs out there that we can sit and read in, probably we will do it when it isn't so hot outside.
Here is my room with my purple wall (I quite enjoy that purple color). I got a new bed when we moved and am loving the queen size !! The only thing I don't like is the vertical blinds. They tend to clang together when they get a whiff of any type of breeze, which wakes me up if I'm not in my deep sleep stage yet....
Another view of my room.
My walk in closet I am now in love with. It was one of the things I was looking for in an apartment and I absolutely love the space it brings :) I am able to hang everything up and I ended up not getting a dresser-At least not yet.
Here is my bathroom. I LOVE having my own bathroom. Theresa has the master room and so she has a bigger bathroom but, believe it or not, this bathroom is double the size of my old one, so it is quite spacey. I love the counter space and the ability to walk around in the room. I also love that it is all mine and I don't have to worry about having my stuff all out and about :)
Another view of my bathroom. You can see my shower and shower curtain in the background. We tried to put up a curved shower curtain rod but were running into something in the wall we couldn't drill through, so I had to use just a regular shower curtain rod.
Just outside of my bathroom and bedroom we have a hallway closet that stores our games, vacuum, mop, and some kitchen appliances. It looks a little disorganized-just the way we like it ;)
Here is the hallway leading to Theresa's room.
And that leads us into her bathroom. She has the master-yes, I offered it to her. I am jealous of her bathroom. Her counter space is incredible!!
And here is her shower with the curved shower curtain rod.
We then have her walk in closet which she claims is slightly smaller than mine....
And her room, with her blue accent wall. One of the things I really liked about the apartment is the space of the rooms. Although she has the master her room doesn't seem too much bigger than mine. The biggest difference is her bathroom.
Another view of her room with her mirror that we can not figure out how to hang up.....one of these days we will try something that actually works :)
And a final view of her room as you walk in the door. I do quite enjoy looking at her colorful room and I love the color of her blue wall!!All in all, we absolutely love our new place. There are a few things we would change, but everything else is wonderful. We feel like we are living on our own with real bills to pay that are in our name and not others. We have loved decorating and organizing the place and absolutely love every minute of being here!! If you ever find yourself in Vegas (well, technically Henderson) don't forget to stop on by-seeing it in person is so much better than in the photo's :)
