Setting up House Keeping: The old-fashioned style

Well life goes on

     We are almost settled into our humble abode. It's a tiny apartment located right in town. It's a white bungalow with a big front porch where my white wicker lives. We live on the first floor and the landlord is up top. There are five rooms on our floor. Bathroom, kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms with one being our office. The hardwood floors are very nice as are the doors. The rooms were freshly painted when we moved in and almost everything was spotless. We have basically decorated with hand me downs or the few things that we already had that were nice.

      The kitchen is big enough to cook in and that's about it. We eat in the living room or outside on the porch. I will miss doing that come winter. Everything else is pretty roomy for us for the time being.

      In the office we have a futon for future guests to sleep on and our two desks. Both are beautiful wooden desks that we got for free from two different businessmen.  Karl has the guest room closet for work clothes. I found a clothes organizer at the Dollar Store for him to put the work clothes in, it's lime green and zebra print. Hey, that's all that they had. Our closet has a hot pink and zebra striped one. I still have to bring the rest of my clothes down. I have been putting it off because we already have a ton of clothes and they are just Karl's: work, casual, dress, random. For a simple guy he has a lot of clothes!

       I have my one great grandmother's piano in the living room where I give music lessons. It's a beautiful focal point. When we finally get back the tv we will be able to enjoy movies and tv shows in the living room. For now we have to in the bedroom because Comcast blew up our other one.

       That gives you all a brief idea of what the place looks like. I'll try to take some pics and post them :)
