Be it ever so humble...

Aaaand, we're back! After a wonderful but not quite blogging worthy six months in Michigan, we decided to start blogging again now that we are in Milwaukee and far from a lot of our friends and family! We moved exactly a week ago, and we just finally got internet in our apartment yesterday, so we're celebrating by treating you to a tour of our new apartment. It's a bit small after living in a large family home, but it's cozy that way, and we are pretty happy with it. So, on to the pictures:
Our living room. When you walk into the apartment, this is the space to your left, and the dining area is to the right (it's really all one big room). You can't see it in this picture, but we actually have a pretty nice view (when you look past the chicken wire covering the window; we're on the first floor). There's an empty lot next door with some trees, so we see quite a bit of green from here. Our plants and my violets have a nice home on the big windowsill.


Here are a couple of views of our dining area. Just enough space for the two of us...I'm not sure what we'll do when people come over, but we'll figure something out, because we want people to visit us! We have some kitchen overflow in this space, too, since the kitchen is pretty tiny.

Speaking of which, here it is. Not a whole lot more than that to say about this room.


Here's a nice view of our bathroom...not a lot to say about this one, either, except that it had no counters or storage, but we found a shelving unit from Ikea that fit perfectly into the space. We were pretty excited.

And finally, here is our bedroom. I guess that concludes our apartment tour. Now that you've seen it here, you are all invited to come and see it in person...we have a sleeper couch!

Congratulations guys, you finally made it too your new place. Leah, that bed spread looks wonderful with the dresser. Hope you guys are adjusting well, and are eagerly anticipating the first day of school!

beautiful! you did a really good job at making it look cute and cozy Leah (and Aren?)
My favorite element is the alarm clock on the back of the toilet. Is that just in case you fall asleep on the john in the morning?
I know you you feel about no counters, cupboards, and bathroom storage, but it looks like you two have improvised well enough. Is your fridge just sitting on top of the counter?
Katie told me about the little stove...
Can't wait to hear more about your adventures in Milwaulkee. We're thinking of you two and hopefully we'll be able to come visit someday.
