I really like Annette's idea for the virtual home tours. I know lots of you have seen our apartment before but we've maybe added some new things since you last saw. For those of you who don't know, we live in Ryan's brother and sister-in-laws basement apartment. We are very lucky to be here because they are so good to us! We get a really good deal and there are so many perks. They let us have access to their washer and dryer, weight room, and we get free direct tv. They are so generous and we love living with them! So here's some pictures of the place we call home.

Ryan and I found some cool rocks at the Dollar Store the other day and decided to get some cool vases to put them in. We finally finished painting our table that Mom gave us. It's really nice not having to eat at the counter anymore. Thanks Mom!


Here is some more of our rocks and vases. We just thought we needed some more decorations.

Mom recovered this love seat for us which we really love. Our apartment isn't big enough to really have any more seating. It's nice having something to sit on.This is our bed which is another piece of furniture Ryan made for us. Our apartment isn't very big, so he made it high enough to fit a lot of our stuff underneath.This is our "Black Friday" tv that I had to wake up at 3 a.m. for. Oh jeah!

I love your table (it looks SO good) and the rocks and the entertainment center and the tvs and the fact that you did the virtual home tour!! Your apartment looks really nice. I also love the new look of your blog.

Oh, the memories of being newly married and living in small apartments. :) I LOVE your black table, also!! Was that an old one that you repainted?

Super cute Kara! I love the addition of the new decorations. It's so fun to find new things that you feel make those first apartments feel like a home. You've done such a great job with such little space and I'm glad you no longer have to eat at the counter! ;)

you guys have done a great job with your house. It's fun to have your own place, isn't it! I'm glad Ryan is so talented at building too!

Love your kitchen area--way better than the kitchen in our 1BR apt. when we first got married.
