When a house becomes a home.

Thank you everyone who shared your ideas for my health blog!
Before the new apartment pictures these are some hilarious texts I got from my family.
Momma sent me this one:
I always knew Dad was Superman!
This one the family sent me on the way home from Utah.
They said Momma ordered really fast food (80mph). Cousin Trevor sent me this one... & I just realized that's an enormous Llama bc Trevor's 6'6"... Anyway, if you don't get the joke of this picture, you're better off... This is our bedding!! Yay! We love our bed! My parents got us sheets, bedding, a comforter & mattress pad...this is the most amazing bed EVER. No wonder we don't ever make it out for the gym before work every morning! This is the collage of our wedding photos in our family room.
This is the kitchen a week ago, but it was the first inkling of organization in the kitchen & I was so ecstatic. It's looking even better now! Our cupboards don't shut all the way lol Don't you love all our storage & counter space? hahah Don't worry, costco shelves saved our booties!
This is the other side of the kitchen. We have our costco shelves on the left & right of the table. They're amazing storage, not the most appealing to the eye, but SO totally awesome for a pantry & shelves since you see above, we have about 1 sq foot counter space & 2 cupboards. & the bottom left cupboard doesn't work.
Our apartment started out EXTREMELY ghetto. We had all white walls, we had holes all over the walls & the trim & everything was disgusting. Wes & I started painting our bedroom before the wedding, but life got busy with school, work and the wedding. My family finished painting it & the other 2 rooms too! It's slowly but surely getting more organized! We are home maybe 2 or 3 hours a day, so we don't have much time to just plow away at it at once, but it's all looking so great. Our creepy, amityville horror apartment now feels like home!

  1. Your apartment looks so cute!

    Our walls are white and we can't paint them. ): We're not even hanging anything up now since we know we're moving in a few months.
