This the the front entry way. I was standing in the kitchen to take this photo. The floor plan is pretty open, which I really like. So, on the left is the main door to the apartment. The next door to the right, is the main bedroom, the next door to the right is the laundry closet. It holds a stackable washer and dryer. The next door to the right is the bathroom, and the door on the far right that is somewhat cut off in the photo is the second bedroom, but I am using it as an office/ craft room. The only thing I really don't like about the entry, is that there is no closet for coats or shoes.

This the the office/ craft room. I took this photo standing outside on the patio. This room has a large sliding glass door, which lets tons of light in. Perfect for crafting.
You can't see it, but on the far right there is a full size closet. I have been keeping shoes and jackets in there for now. This room still needs some work. I would like to have a bookcase in here to hold my scrapbooking and crafting supplies, so that they aren't just laying around the floor like they are now. This room also needs some art and photos. The white walls are pretty boring.
This is looking into the bathroom.
This is looking out of the bathroom. Pretty self explanatory.
It was hard to get any good photos of the bedroom, but this is taken from the inside corner of the room. It has two nice windows, but they face the next building over--so I don't usually have them pulled all the way open.
This is taken from the far corner of the room. On the right you can sort of see the dog's kennel.
This room also needs some work. I would like to get some large frames for photos above the bed.
This photo was taken standing in the entry way looking into the main living area. The kitchen and living room are open into each other. Everything is white--sort of boring. You can see there is no room for a dining room table. There is a light made for the table you can see it on the top left in the photo. It is supposed to hang down lower, but I have it clipped up. You can't tell in this photo, but there are two windows on the far side of the room. This room also leads out to the patio.
This is the door to the patio. This door would be on the very far left of the room. Its hard to describe in photos, but the room is sort of a square that opens up into an oblong shape. You can see the edge of the couch in the bottom left of the photo. That might give you a better idea of the shape.
This is just a close up of the bookcase near the patio door.
This is a close up of the windows at the far end of the room. The patio door is to the left. This bookcase holds all of my DVD's and Wii games.
This is the patio. It needs some cleaning--notice the lovely grease spot that the previous renter left. My parents surprised me with those bird feeders and the mini grill. I have yet to see any birds eating there, but the Cardinal is the State bird of West Virginia. The neighbor whose house you can see in the photo, has a GIANT wind chime...and by giant I mean the largest wind chime I have ever seen in my entire life. I sort of think that it scares the birds away. Its really nice on windy nights to listen to it all night long. Perhaps it will turn up missing one of these days.
You can't really tell, but I have a pretty nice backyard. There are brick townhouses on the backside of the building, which is where my apartment faces--but you get some grass on this side. The other side of the building is all parking lot.
Back inside. This is the kitchen. It has lots of counter space and a dishwasher. I have two stools on the left side of the island, so that I have somewhere to sit and eat. The door on the far right is the pantry closet.
This was taken standing at the far side of the living room. I really need some art or something on that wall behind the couch. I am thinking about getting a long rectangle canvas to cover the wall. But you can see there is a little box on the wall, it is the thermostat--what a stupid spot, right? Its like in the middle of no where, and screws up any plans hanging photos or art there.
Just another overview shot. I took this standing at the patio door. You can see the room isn't really a square shape, on the right you can tell that the room has a corner that leads to the patio. Oh, and if you look close on the left side of the couch you can see Ginger. She is obliviously doing well. :)
Another photo taken from the patio door. Ginger and the orange chair. The fridge and kitchen on the far right side.
The television area.
This is a photo taken out the kitchen window. This window is right above the sink. I wanted to take this to give you all an idea of the building. There are 8 units in each building, and the middle is taken out of the building, to create a courtyard type area. This way you only enter your own unit, you don't have to enter the building and then your apartment. Make sense? I am not very good at describing it.
Since the building is designed like this, I only have two neighbors whose apartments I share walls with. One on the left and one above. Both neighbors are elderly women. The lady on the left is quiet...so quiet that I sometimes wonder if she has died in there. You know those stories you hear, where the neighbor dies, and no one notices until there is a horrible smell. The lady above me, well thats a story for another day...she is not so nice.
In all, I really do like my apartment. It is spendy, but for what I have seen--I don't mind paying more. The old adage is true, You get what you pay for.
I hope you all enjoyed the tour. I also hope that for most of you this page loaded pretty quickly. Those of you with ancient computers...You know the one where not all the keys have letters on them anymore--It probably took longer to load. : )
Miss you all like crazy!! Can't wait for you all to get here and see it someday!
It looks nice! I like your kitchen a lot. But you're right...you need some stuff to hang up. The white must get pretty boring, but at least it's clean...Ginger looks funny. She looks like a statue...she is in the same exact position in both photos!
