There's No Place Like Home....

Well I was finally able to get into my apartment to stay and unpack all of my stuff!  I have it all pretty well where it needs to be aside from my desk/school/office things which I'm not really sure yet what I need to keep and what I need to toss or give away and I'm awaiting the purchase of a new bookshelf before diving in too deep with that mess.  

I am however infatuated my apartment and do think it will be difficult to force myself out the door come Monday morning and my first day of work (yikes!!).  It is really great and I love the decorating I've done so far with my mom's help.  I have a few photos share - nothing too exciting for anyone other than me I'm sure!!  

Here's the kitchen from one angle....

...and from the other.

The bathroom, with a great shower curtain I found on sale at Kohl's to replace my "college-y" polka dotted one and that matched a lot of the towels and accessories I already have.  

The bedroom, which basically is just the massive bed!!  And as you can see a dresser and the closet on the opposite wall with a small nook on the other side of the dresser where a bookshelf will go.  

Finally, the living space, (apologies for the laundry already drying), it's a little cramped with the dining table and desk but it is functional and cozy for now!  

There's also a great laundry room and a coat closet which I have made double as a pantry since I went from many many cupboards in my old apartment to just a few in this one.  But I love the space and so far Aberdeen has been great!!  I am anxious to start my first day on Monday and think this will be a great space to come home to each night! This week will be sure to bring many new adventures for me to share I'm sure!!  

P.S. Later this week I hope to fill you in on just exactly why the title of this post is so appropriate..... ;)
