Life

My mom always knows when it's time to schedule for classes again each semester.

That's strange. How does she know this?

Because I go through a quarter-life crisis EVERY TIME!

Gaahhh!!!!

Life is so unpredictable, but I love planning for it anyways. I'm in the process of figuring out a five-year plan; hopefully it will all turn out well :-)

Aaannnnnnddd because posts are boring without photos, here is one of my fav swanky hotels (where I got to stay after finals!)...

..and here is how I spent the first night back in my apartment after vacation!

Yoga mat. Pillow. Blanket. Check check check! Time for bed.

Apartment Tour part Three: the Kitchen!

Want to know the main reason why I moved off campus? Here it is: a kitchen :)

The two paintings were a antique store find in Palouse- 10 bucks for both. The table was a craigslist find, though a little more expensive at about 70 I think. Still, for an ikea table and four chairs, that's not too bad.

We still need to find something cool to hang above the sink, we were thinking about hanging up some fun trays, but we weren't sure how.

Knives, coffee, and utensils!

Our teeny counters are packed! But actually still functional. Most of the space that is used up by appliances is space that we wouldn't really use anyways because it's so far back on the counter.

The coupon corner and home of my awesome colander (see top left of the photo) and Kitchenaid. I still need to name her, any suggestions? The steak thawing is Haley's haha

And last, but definitely not least, here's our awesome pantry. Who knew apartments had pantries??

Here's all my stuff!

The End!

Apartment Tour part 2: The bathroom

THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING ROOM IN THE ENTIRE PLACE.

Okay not really, or at all. BUT we have an awesome bath tub, and the entire bathroom is spick and span thanks to some good cleaning that went down this weekend.

Here is where we stash most of our stuff. My shelf is on the bottom, Haley's is the middle, then Tay has the top. There are only towels on the top shelf now, though, because Tay uses some of the storage space under the sink for that.

The folded towels remind me of a hotel!

The sink and medicine cabinet:

Don't mind the lack of makeup! I think this sign is pretty fun :)

....and (drumroll please) the bathtub! Yay! Other than cooking, having a bath was one of the things I missed most when I was living in the dorms. Nothing beats a nice hot bath (at the end of the day haha).

The final installment of the apartment tours will be the kitchen! Stay tuned.

My Room

Apartment Tour part 1: my room :)

and yes, I do live in the living room!

Remember this bed that I was thinking about buying last spring? Well I bought and painted it! Check it out:

Here's where I get ready every morning. The little white medicine cabinet is where I stash my herbs and spices (the kitchen is right around the corner).

The bedside tables are actually two of the seats from my desk/dining room set. They work really well, match the rest of the furniture, and I we didn't have to buy them separately!

My desk and work area! I keep all of my office-y stuff on my bookcase along with my books, text books, scarves, and other miscellaneous stuff.

Hey!

My own little corner!

More of my work area room. I love having so much open space and natural light.

The End! Next part of the Apartment Tour: The Kitchen!

Bears. Beets. Buying a Bed.

Here is the bed frame I think I am going to buy :)

These are the photos posted on craigslist:

And this is what I want to it to look like after I paint it:

And, finally, this is sort of how I want it to look in my future room!

heart mixer :)

Before and after with a color pop! Which one is more like the original?

apartment documenting, continued..

Exterior Apartment Pics (we didn't get to go inside today :( )

This is the view from the 'balcony' outside our future room..

looking back towards the apartment as we head into campus.. 

SO EXCITED! 

I should be sleeping

I really should. It would be tons easier though if the lovely next door neighbors didn't feel the need to broadcast their conversations throughout the halls. Let's hope the apartments are more sound proof than this.

Here's what I want my space in the apartment to look like:

I love Ikea :)

Apartment Hunting

This is probably the most productive Saturday morning on record.

After looking at 4 different apartments, I have a definite favorite. Yay!

Here are some HORRIBLE photos I took of it. I swear it doesn't look this sketch in real life. Seriously though.

Bedroom, closet, bedroom:

Floor+toes that need another pedicure (:
