It's the little things really.

So today I've been a bit stressed about how much we still need to do to settle our apartment... like unpack the millions of boxes in the office and make it so that our internet actually works rather than making it so that only one computer can get internet with the ethernet cord plugged into it... on a good day. And then I looked around and thought: "We've got a really awesome apartment and we're really lucky." So now I'm still stressed but much more grateful. So I thought I'd share some of my favorite little things about the new apartment while we're still getting settled. We'll start off this countdown with the best part of the apartment.

1. Josh lives in it... that's definitely the best part of this apartment.




2. This is my second favorite thing.... the bookshelf :) Yes it's color coordinated and none of my "Series of Unfortunate Events" are even close to each other on the shelf.... but I love it so much! Also, I've got a copy of "Through the Looking Glass" from my grandma that's from 1896. How awesome is that?





3. The view from our toilet... I know that sounds weird and maybe even a little disgusting... but just wait until you see it!



Even the view behind the toilet is pretty cool.





4. Our salt and pepper shakers.... Those are pretty self explanatory. They bring a little spice to our kitchen table... and that bad pun was evidence of the fact that it's Friday after a long work week.




5. The metal stars hanging above our sink. Josh and I hung those ourselves.... so if they're crooked... that's why :)





6. What we have until we can get a dog... "Sushi" our bamboo shoot!






7. Alright so this shouldn't be number seven this should be negative 1 since it's my LEAST favorite thing.... All of the boxes we need to unpack still.




Even with the boxes, I love our little apartment :) Once we get more done I'll post more pictures!

  3. First apartment days are so fun! Your place is so cute. And I still don't know how you have so many color coordinated books. Mine are mostly white and black.

  4. I know how you feel about unpacking... it's nice when things finally feel homey. I'm still waiting for more decorations to get mailed from family... but in the mean time it's nice to find little things to make you happy! And I love you're potty decorations! :)
