CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

We are finally settled in! My husband and I spent our first year of marriage living in a three bedroom apartment with two other room mates (and all their pets; a cat, gerbils, a bearded dragon, fish, and a snake), and our lease FINALLY ended so we could get our own apartment.

The living room's got this crazy retro thing going on, complete with a real, working metal gumball machine (we picked it up at Salvation Army for 8 bucks; took me a while to dismantle and clean it.)
Anyway! I'm delighted! We have a home, and it's allllll ours. *happy dance*
On to the pics!

Yes, that is a hanging of Dogs Playing Poker. My friend gave it to me years ago and I pinned it above the couch as a joke, intending to take it down, but when the rest of the living room came together we decided to leave it.


The blue tub is crammed full of Shane's Lego bricks.


We just picked up some gorgeous antique chairs for the table, but we need to reupholster them. I'll post pics of them when we finish.




Woohoo for mosaic fishies! I bought this set when I first moved out on my own...it has pretty shower curtain hangers, a soap dish, and a toothbrush holder to match. It makes me happy. ^_^

My desk/art/computery area in the office


Bookshelf/Shane's side




Bedroom


Canopy bed with curtains as the topper...xD (the blanket's just there until we get a curtain for the window. The one we had for it wasn't quite wide enough.)


Nice, new countertops and newer appliances! The oven actually cooks evenly! What a thought.


No dishwasher, but I don't mind washing the dishes by hand while it's just us. Once we have kiddos, though, it'll be a different story.




And the awesome light in the entryway. We have a huge entry closet, plus an indoor storage room big enough to even store our bikes...(no more leaving them on the balcony to be rained on!) but I didn't take a picture of said entry way because the chairs that we're working on are there at the moment.


The end!

Congratulations! Remember, a house is a house, but only you can make it a home. Even my little one room personal apartment is a home to me! It may not seem like much to other people, but to me... to me it's home!

Awwwww. I want my own home now...

It must be a good feeling having a place of your own to call home.

The dogs playing poker reminds me of...

A bearded dragon o.o?

Congrats on your new own place \o.o/ Very nice set up ^__^

Nice.

Cute place. Everything looks so neat and clean! And nice 70s furniture. XD My dad had a couch almost exactly like that.

My husband and I got our first apartment too!! It's pretty and old. Like from the early 1900's old.
Your place is so cool!! I want cool furniture like you....we don't have much furniture right now.
