Unveiling...

The be-you-tiful condo of the free/cheap/thrifted/gifted stuff! If you ask me, it's coming together quite nicely. And a lot of my stuff has a story.

See the couch? My friend's g-ma passed away, and it was headed to the dumpster so I saved it. See the weird brown ottoman/storage thingy? I found it beside the dumpster at my last apartment.
See the orange chairs? They are from the original home lottery home here in my home town. I bought them used and previously loved. Obviously.
This is the view you get when you walk in my front door.
Also, please note the bird cage. I have two pet birds! I've had them for about two weeks and I've finally named them. Moose: the he-bird, and Midge: the she-bird. I don't know if anybody else read Archie comics. But we were sort of hooked on them when we were younger!

And this is the view if you were standing directly to the right of the front door. I still haven't figured out what to do with the big white wallspace above the couch. Those little pictures just don't do it justice.

And this is the view from the kitchen/eating area into the living area.
And this is the same view. It just shows you how it's all laid out.
Here is one side of my kitchen.
And this is the side directly opposite the previous picture.
This is the eating area. (I don't know why this is underlined and I can't figure out how to un-underline it. Crazy blogger...)
And this is the view from the eating area.

And this was the view in my living room ALL WEEKEND. Yes, folks. I braved a long weekend sleepover. Three nights, three days. And now the fun is over!

Bedroom and bathroom are for another day. I didn't have the energy to clean EVERYTHING. Come on guys!

Hey Kim! I FINALLY got the chance to check out your blog! LOVE everything! I think with the bare space above your couch you should do a photo collage of all your black and white pictures! I think your apartment is so awesome! Love the colors and all the recycled stuff. You should come to aberdeen again and we'll go antique shopping! There's a lot of cool antique stores here! Take care and Lord willing I'll see you at xmas!
