Settling In

I feel like I have been moving for weeks... but finally things are coming together at my new apartment. My furniture (after the delivery truck ran out of gas and was delayed) was finally delivered last night around 10 pm. Unfortunately two pieces were damaged and so now I have to wait on another truck to replace them, but for now at least I have what is beginning to feel like a home. Here is a sneak peak...
An original artwork in the kitchen...finally a place to hang it!
The eggies also keep watch over the kitchen!Moxie tested the new couch to make sure it was comfy. I think it passed - she is sleeping there now!
The bedroom: I lost storage by moving to a smaller apartment, so the bedroom is pretty packed. I may move the crate eventually, but I haven't decided exactly where it will go. *Ignore the unmade bed and the missing comforter, Moxie isn't allowed to sleep on the good stuff!The entertainment center: Again a little cluttered for my taste, but without storage options I am just trying to find a place to put things for now. *Also note the expensive dog bed that Moxie is not sleeping in right now!
This is the painting for above the couch - it should arrive this week. The reviews on the trueness of the color were good, so cross my fingers it will lighten up the living room with the dark couches.Dining Room: Finally there is room for visitors to eat here now! So anyone who wants to come to dinner night once a month to try out random recipes... *And the new couch is a sofa sleeper, so even though I only have a one bedroom apartment, guests are welcome!
I have always wanted a hallway with random frames of family, but there isn't much of a hallway here for a huge gallery, but I made it work. **Note the empty frame, and the fact that some need to be updated. Hint for anyone who wants to email a recent picture of nephews you would like to see here...And of course, it wouldn't be home if Moxie didn't destroy the blinds in the first week!

hmm, just might have to come visit one of these days. i like the couch painting - don't think it would have matched the plaid couch? :)

The new place looks good. I agree with jenn, the couch painting looks nice. If you come up with some creative storage ideas let us know. We have closet space but we haven't figured out how to use it effectively yet and therefore we have clutter displayed every where.

Looks great! I like the couch painting, too. So bright and cheery.

Where did you find the couch? It looks both study and comfy. And a bed, too! We need a new couch one of these days. And the table looks very nice, too - glad to see you are settling in, since I didn't even know you had moved until mom told me!
