Home Sweet Home

 Dan and I are really lucky and blessed to find this place to live! We were having a heck of a time trying to find one! Two weeks before our wedding we were thinking we'd just be living out of our cars! Then out of nowhere this cute little basement apartment showed up! We LOVE living in Herriman, in a basement apt! We love the neighborhood, LOVE the ward, neighbors, friends, and all!

When Dan and I were dating, I noticed a little quirk about him...he cares about design...he likes to decorate! He's pretty much not a normal boy!! (J/K SWEETIE!!) At first I was thinking, "Man, do I really want t marry someone who cares so much about how the house looks??" But let's be honest, if that was my one worry, that's saying something!!

Now that we've been trying to make our house a home, I'm actually REALLY happy to have him by my side, and have his expertise in style! The apartment wouldn't look the same or half as good without him!! We are really blessed! Here are some pictures...enjoy! :)

front door...we are still not loving the fact that people can see right in! Hopefully my mom's going to help me sew the curtains so we can shut them! :)

Little dining area! The table fits in perfectly!

umm...ok, so I can't figure out how to rotate this thing ( if anyone knows how that works either on blog or I-photo...let me know!) I just wanted to post this pictures cuz I'm proud of the bookcase decorating! 
The lovely living room!
Another angle...
Another angle...Yes, that is Ross and Rachel (the one where they got back together, and then broke up again!)

 Kitchen!!
 another angle of the kitchen...Dan thinks the red is a bit overboard, but come on!! It looks awesome! :)
 Again...the sideways thing! This is Dan's "office/study" space! and all those papers...HIS!!! Mine are nice and filed away!
 Bathroom! Yes, those are our "YARDS" from Cancun! (they don't fit anywhere in the kitchen!)
 Bedroom! I won't show you Dan's side! Thanks Nic and Julie for the bedding!!!
 We have a lack of closet/dresser space...so Dan stacks his clothes on the side! (that pile seriously starts from the ground!)

And just for kicks and giggles...I am making my mom's famous Hungarian Goulash!! YUmmmm...If only pictures could pick up smells!! :)

  1. Super cute! When we were first married our front door had a huge window on it too. We took some of that spray on frost stuff and frosted it. Just an idea!

  4. it really is so cute! i had/have red in my kitchen too and i love it :)

    (as for the pictures, i rotate all of mine before i upload them to blogger. like when they are in the 'my pictures' folder. so they are the right way because blogger doesn't let you rotate them afterwards)
