Finally Home

Tony and I have finally finished decorating and making our new apartment home! We have a tiny, one bedroom apartment, but we have had a blast making use of the space that we do have. Here is a tour of our new home:

This is our kitchen, where all of the cooking goes down. It is the biggest room in our apartment, and definitely our favorite. I tried to decorate with reds, browns, and golds throughout our apartment. We love the gas stove and extra counter space!

Our bedroom! We have the most amazing memory foam mattress topper, seriously.

There is a little wall space available for a bookshelf. It was hilarious combining our book collections and seeing what each of us love reading.

We LOVE cooking! In our kitchen, we have been making: halibut chowder, spicy salmon pasta, Dr. Pepper shredded pork, pizza, meatball subs, chicken curry, ginger beef, waffles, and all kinds of desserts. More recipes to come on the blog! :)

Our fridge, which we put up all our save the dates/ invitations to remember and pray for our friends and newly engaged/ married couples back in Texas.

We have a little bar area because there is no space for a kitchen table and chairs. We think it's fun and have really enjoyed having guests over.

Tony got this little cabinette for free! Someone didn't want it, so we took it. One man's trash, another man's treasure. We have turned it into a file cabinet/ computer desk area.

Gig Em, Ags! There is no doubt when you walk into our apartment what college we went to. We love decorating with maroon and remembering our Texas roots.

Our coffee table is an A&M trunk from Tony's time in the Corp of Cadets. Whoop!

Tony's grandpa made him a boot case to hold his Corp boots. We set it all up and use it as a kind of side table!

My biggest advice for moving into a new place: Make it your own! I LOVE pictures and think that they make a place so homey and welcoming. 

Recipes and Cookbooks! Our kitchen is my favorite place to be, and we can't wait to keep using it to make yummy dishes.

In addition to making sure our Aggie love is scattered around, we want Alaska to be apart of our home! We love this hand towel.

My family and friends mean everything to me. Using only the picture frames we already had in various colors and styles, I made a picture frame collage above our bookshelf!

I like to make it a point to plan our dinners each night. I made this Menu board for just that purpose!
To make it yourself, get a picture frame and some Expo markers! You can use cute scrapbook paper for a background and black markers, but for mine, I used black and neon Expo markers to make it look more like a restaurant-style chalkboard.

I hope you have enjoyed the tour! We love our apartment and have loved decorating it. Thank you, sweet family and friends, for all of your generosity, kindness, and desire to help us start our new home. God is so good and marriage is such bliss, a story of God's grace and gospel every day.
