A look at our apartment

Before we moved to Poland, all we knew about our apartment was that it had three rooms, some beds, a washing machine, and a balcony. While the house we were living in at the time had the best location, yard, and rent we will EVER have, a three-room apartment sounded like a palace. And it is. Sure #6 has its quirks (none of the cupboards really close all the way, for example), but we love the space and we love that we have next to nothing to store in so much space. So here's a look at each of the rooms. With the exception of our clothes drying rack and Anna's crib (thanks again Linda and Randy!), all of the furniture was already here, which was awesome for us.

Here's the entryway, decorated with our one Christmas decoration (thanks to Jen) besides our mini Christmas tree (as seen in a following photo). There is a lovely shelf and places to hang our coats to the left and the bathroom is off to the right. (Sorry, you're going to have to crane your necks to see some of these pictures. I still haven't figured out how to turn them right side up.)

Here's the only bathroom shot I have, but it's definitely the cutest our bathroom could look. I know the shower still looks like it has bacteria growing in the corners, but I gave it a good scrubdown so we should be safe... [duhn, duhn, duhn] Anna loves to play with her crocs (courtesy of Grandma Linda) in the bath because they shoot water out like mini sprinklers. And she just loves to try on shoes.

The next room to the left of the entryway is the living room/play room/Anna's bedroom. (Note: I didn't purposefully place Anna in these pictures, but she just couldn't imagine not being in them. Why else would I get the camera out?)

The next room on the left is our bedroom/TV room. This is the room without a door, which will be the focus of Trevor's film. Some of my favorite things about the room are the cool retro lamp/night stand/magazine rack (although you can't see it too well) and the big wardrobe behind me that you can't see either. Anna loves to move our clothes to the side and sit in it while she reads books.

To the right of the entryway, after the bathroom, is the kitchen. Please notice how shiny the countertops are. I don't think they've been so shiny since. I should mention that Anna also loves to sit in the cupboard under the sink while we're cooking or doing the dishes. We can't keep anything under there because that's her spot. One of my favorite things about the kitchen (and the bathroom, for that matter) is that the faucet will sometimes spit out some water of its own accord. It's probably just the excess water that was pumped up that was still in the faucet when we shut it off, but Trevor hates it and thinks the faucet is possessed and shooting poisonous liquid into our sinks. It's slightly unnerving and a little eerie when we hear water oozing out when we're in the other room. And every time it happens, Trevor rolls his eyes and groans in disgust, and it makes me laugh.

I don't have a picture of Trevor's office, but it has a lovely desk, single bed, and another closet/wardrobe and bookshelf. We have filled it up with many, many books and all of the camera equipment and computer stuff.

So there it is. Hope you enjoyed the tour.
