Casa de Katy!

I've finally got photos! Sorry it took me sooo long. I could give you lots of excuses, but I'll just give you pictures instead!





Our living room!


You'll find out very quickly that I don't like white walls. Everything has been painted!

I realized after I took all the photos that my camera lens was a little spotty...sorry! You still get some good pics though! =]






Another view of the front room!


Can you tell we like movies? We made those shelves ourselves. Fun!






Our dining nook!


It's a perfect fit for our table! The little french door to the left goes out to our balcony (which we get to use nightly now that the weather is getting nicer!), and the open door to the right goes into our bedroom.






A look into our kitchen!


For those who are trying to figure out angles, I was standing in front of the black futon (in the living room) to take this photo. The mirrors to the left caused some funny glares in the photo...sorry!






Our kitchen!


I like to think of the colors as sort of 'chili pepper,' but Travis wants them to be 'Jamba Juice.' We'd have to add some citrus-y oranges to make that work! The window looks out the front entry, and there's a beautiful leafy tree that I get to look at when I'm at the sink! =]






Our laundry room!


The little laundry room is off the kitchen. It's the perfect size for the laundry, plus our vacuum and tools. We put a small dresser in there that holds extra kitchen towels and the like. We're sooo glad to have our laundry actually in our apartment now! No more loading up the baskets and praying there are empty washers at the laudramat!






Our balcony!


We love sitting out here in the evening! It's so beautiful, and very quiet. It's starting to get nice enough now that we can use it during the day too! Chloe likes to stick her nose through those little holes in the patterned wall to see what she can get to.






Also on our balcony!


It's really a very roomy space, and very cute! Those little metal lizards on the ground to the left are going to be hung up on that wall. I love them!






Our bedroom!


Our comforter is actually reversible, but we love this pattern with the blue on the walls, so we haven't ever changed it!






Another bedroom view!


Behind the curtains is a sliding glass door that goes out to our balcony. It's nice for letting in the cool air, but we usually go out there from the front room instead.






One more look at the bedroom!


Behind that full-length mirror is our walk-in closet (!)! Yes, the mirror is a door. And I love the closet. Nice and roomy! You can also see into our attached bathroom in this photo as well. It's also nice and roomy. It has lots of counter space, and a nice tub-length standing shower with glass doors. Yay!






Our guest bath!


Yes, we have two bathrooms! It's sooo nice. Especially considering each one is at least twice the size of our only bathroom in our last apartment! You can see the shower curtain in the mirror there. This bathroom does have a full-size tub, so this is where Chloe gets her baths! =]






Our study!


The final room (but yes, there are a few more views)! That sofa is actually a sleeper, and it's way more comfortable than sleeper sofas used to be (yes, we've slept on it)! It's also super comfy just as a sofa, which is very nice as well. I spend a lot of time on this couch, because...






Our study yet again!


...this is where Travis spends most of his time! So I do a lot of work on the couch in here so we can at least see each other. Poor guy! He's working ridiculously hard. I'm so proud of him.

I also like to call this our Broadway room because of the decorations you see around the desk. Those are all either programs or photo books from plays we've actually been to. As we see more, we'll expand our decor!






The last view of our study!


Yes, behind that mirror is another closet. It's not as big as the one in our room, but it's still quite large. It works perfectly for storage.

You can also see the front hallway from here. The open door to the right is the guest bath, and way in the corner you can see the front door.


So that's our home! Hope you enjoyed the tour! We love it here. It's absolutely perfect for us!
