Whew! We did it!

We moved to our new place!

Since our sublease was up at the end of August, we had to move out of our cute little North Wymount apartment. So, we picked up and moved to... South Wymount!!! :)

For your enjoyment, I've taken a few pictures of our place. There's not a picture of the living room yet because we won't get our sofas for a week or so and it just still looks like a junk storage place :).

But here are some other rooms:

This is our office room. In the picture you can see the new desk we got from Office Depot and my handsome hubby "working away"... playing solitare. To the right is our dresser from Ikea... it won't fit in our tiny bedroom. :) And the accordion door blocks our big storage room that we LOVE because it makes everything else so much less cluttered.Here's a peek into our bedroom from the doorway. We got our bedframe from Ikea and our fantastic mattresses for a great deal from RC Willey outlet. Our endtables are also from Ikea. And yes... for all of you people who are good at decorating... I KNOW that the picture is too small. :) We're working on that. Haha. Oh, and we owe our lives to Trev's grandma who made this quilt. It's saved our lives in the hot summer without A/C. Our down comforter was just too darn hot!!
Here's the bedroom closet that's on the opposite wall from our bed. I love the storage and shelf space here! There's even another closet just like this one in the office room, where we put all of our extra and off-season clothes. :)
Here's our teeny blue bathroom. It doesn't match my brown-green-tan theme, but it works I guess :) It's also nice that I could fit the storage unit there too, because that little medicine cabinet was not going to cut it. And yes, there are two mirrors in that little bathroom! :) His and hers??
Here's a shot of our new TV and TV stand. You can sort of see the DVD player at the bottom. This is our favorite form of entertainment so far :)
Here is the kitchen where Trevor is being a model for us again! Poor guy... I'm glad he cooperates. There's lots of cabinet space and counter space, especially compared to where we came from. Trevor is standing near the door of the slightly walk-in pantry. And on the left wall is our little table and chair set from Ikea. It fits perfectly into our little home.
Here's just a better shot of the counter space and sink area in the corner. I guess the "lovely" blue 70s countertop isn't so bad when you cover it with other things :)
And finally... I just had to show you: I got that one plant to grow flowers again! Here's a picture I got this morning after church. Just now, when I checked, two more of those buds had opened! :) Very exciting!
Hope you enjoyed the tour of our little home. I'll have to get a picture of our fantastic coat closet and our finished living room when everything is totally put away!

Moving was insane, but it's nice to have a place to call our own... completely ours!
