ok, it’s finally time to update you guys on our apartment progress! it’s been so long since i posted the before photos and layout of our apartment before we moved in, moving day, and then progress after i got settled.
now brad’s all moved in and some rooms have changed quite a bit, and some not so much! so here we go….
first, the entryway!
that’s where capones gigantic water jug and food dish sit. and there’s also a little rug to put our shoes on when we come in the door.
*
across from the front door is the laundry closet.
this is pretty much the same. washer/dryer, recycling, (brad’s grandma’s ancient) vacuum cleaner, a bag for plastic shopping bags (aka: capone’s poo bags), a bag for rags, and a bag for random laundry garbage.
*
next to the laundry closet is our coat closet.
on the floor is our enormous soda stash and the bin of capone’s food. tools and a bin of capone’s treats/brush/nail clippers/etc. are on top.
*
the guest bath.
this is pretty much the same. we registered for a bunch of bathroom stuff, so this room will be more complete soon. i spent lots of time this weekend emptying the cabinets so liz & keith have plenty of room for their stuff.
*
guest bedroom.
this room looks a lot different from when i moved in!
that’s brad’s bed, brad’s desk/computer, all of brad’s chiro books on the bookshelf…
and a very empty closet (with brad’s filing cabinet). capone says, “hi”!
*
now the kitchen!
not much has changed here….
*
and our dining area – lots has changed here!
we’ve added a couple pieces of furniture in the past month. first, this lovely buffet – the replacement door arrived last week!
all of our overflow dishes will go in here. i also love that is has a wine rack. i wasted no time stocking up on some ($4) wine to fill it!
and we also bought these bar stools.
now we don’t have a naked breakfast bar anymore! i love how well the stools, the table, and the buffet match. hopefully we’ll eventually have a space with a bit bigger dining area so it won’t be so smushed together.
*
our bedroom hasn’t changed much at all besides brad taking over most of the drawers in the dresser!
and the master bath is the same too…. but the closet got a little rearranging!
we moved the cubes to be under my clothes since they’re shorter. you can see that we really filled up that closet!
*
the living room got one big upgrade….
brad’s tv is here now! i’ve got to say, i lived without a tv for almost 3 years, and it is great to have one back! i’ve been pretty good about not wasting too much time each day watching stupid shows, but it’s nice to just veg for a bit every now and then.
*
and our porch. it’s so sad right now.
porch furniture and grill are high on our list. also, we’re making a trip to the farmers’ market this afternoon to get some basil and other herbs to put in pots on the porch. at least it’ll be spruced up a bit!
i do love these lilac bushes right off of the porch though.
*
so there you go! luckily, brad and i pretty much had enough stuff to fill our apartment without either of us having to get rid of anything! 🙂
hope you enjoyed our apartment update!
do you like decorating?
there’s still so much i want to do (curtains, art for the walls, etc.), but it’s so expensive! i have a hard time spending money on decor…
I just love your apartment – especially your kitchen! It’s huge – especially compared to my tiny California one! 🙂
LOVE your kitchen! and the buffet and dining room furniture are awesome!!! =) are you on pinterest yet? it is so helpful for decorating!!! ❤ i'm using it for the new place!

Very nice! The kitchen and porch are my favorite features especially now that summer is here 🙂 I agree with Jenn, pinterest is very helpful for decorating!
looks great!!! i love all the furniture! and the lilacs 🙂
What a great apartment!!!! I’m a bit jealous :). What part of town do you guys live in?
Everything looks great! It looks so put-together, good for you. And how nice of you to let him take over the dresser 😉
Great apartment tour! I love getting to ‘peak’ into blogger’s lives. I am not much of a decorator, but I’m working on it.
I love decorating! You’ve done a great job so far-it looks so home-y!
