Our place so far...

I've taken a few pictures of our place so far so you can get an idea of where we live! We still have not received our container of things (300 Cu. Ft. of boxes and bedroom furniture expected to come at the end of August) but we have bought lots already! We will also be painting all of the rooms in this place, so I imagine in another month, this place is going to look very different!

So to start, here are pictures of our place before we bought any furniture and were using the school-provided stuff....

Ok. this picture isn't the best quality, but SO funny so I had to post...notice how empty this living room is:

Here's another view of the living room

This is our dining room viewed from the living room. I had very lovely models:

This next picture is the hallway. I'm standing in between the living room and dining room and looking towards the hallway and bedrooms. We have LOTS of closets right here in the hallway! It's wonderful!

And if you walk down the hallway, just past the closet/storage on the left you will find the playroom! The things in this room are all ours that we bought at ikea within the first few days of being here. We have added a few more tiles, we've added a futon, and the wireless internet router is no longer there but you get the idea:

This is also in the playroom:

Then if you go back into the hallway and go straight to the end of the hall there is a T with Ellie and Siri's room on the left and Joey and my bedroom on the right. But straight ahead is this bathroom:

Going back into the hallway and heading to the right, you will find Ellie and Siri's bedroom. (Yes, they are sharing a room, though it looks like naps will be separate!) Oh and that green rug is the only thing that will be the same in here when all is said and done.

Ok. So then you step out of the bedroom and back into the hallway and go past the bathroom straight into the master bedroom where there is a bathroom and a walk-in closet! For some reason I only took a picture of the walk-in closet, but there's just a mattress on the floor in that room for now anyway. We are anxiously waiting for our bedroom set to arrive safely on the container!

Then if you head out back into the hallway and head towards the living room again, you will find another small room on the left. This is the study that Joey is in charge of furnishing! :) So this is what we have been using temporarily instead (until we got this desk that I didn't seem to take a picture of!).

On Tuesday, we added LOTS of furniture! So here is an updated (but still not finished) version of our place. We got a three piece set of living room couches (a couch, a love seat and a chair).

A TV stand and shelving unit

And a table and chairs!

Oh and did I mention we have our washer and dryer in our kitchen? Our kitchen is so spacious there's plenty of room for them.

And so that is our home. Now you can clearly see we have plenty of space for visitors, so DO come visit! We'd love to have you! :)
