If you turn to the right, you will see . . .
Our "entertainment center," complete with the occasional bike (sometimes we have to keep them in the apartment if there isn't a place on the rack). We also keep our BYU lawn chairs on hand so we can have a place for visitors to sit. This is the second best part of the living room. If you turn around, you will be able to see the best part of the living room . . .
also known as the "music wall." This ends our tour of the living room on a good note, and now we can move into the kitchen.
In front of you, you will see our kitchen table, courtesy of the missionaries in our ward. The table is actually a dark red (you can't really tell in this picture) and the chairs are black with a strip of padding on the seat. The window gives us a beautiful view of our backyard, which consists of a small concrete patio, a tall tree with Christmas lights still on it, and a small area blocked off with wood and filled with dirt. Next summer it may be the home of our first garden. Now, if you'll follow me, we will make our way into the main part of the kitchen.
The stove didn't make it into the picture, but it is just to the left, next to the refrigerator (the table is directly behind us). There are also two other cupboards to the left and to the right of us. The beautiful apron that you see hanging under the clock has been used more and more lately. Yes, I am finally learning how to cook and not burn our apartment down. Except for today, when I didn't notice the smoke . . .Finally, we can go into the back and to the bedroom area--which doesn't really have much but the bed, the ironing board, two closets, two night stands (one on either side of the bed), and a medusa lamp.
We also have to put a curtain over our window so we can sleep at night--otherwise there is too much light in our room. The ironing board is to the right of the picture and next to it is a black filing cabinet (it matches the desk in the living room) that holds my printer.Now, if you turn around, we can make our last stop at our vanity/bathroom area.
To the left of the picture is our sink, a clock (that doesn't work because the ticking keeps Zac awake at night), and our laundry. It's actually quite nice compared to the last apartment we had because the sink is not in the same room as the shower. Speaking of the shower, and to end this great tour, we would like to show you our decorations in the bathroom.
Yes, there are still some remnants of the Noni. We just couldn't let a huge Tahitian Noni mirror/replica of the juice bottle go to waste. Every time we shower, we are reminded of our five year supply of Tahitian Noni cosmetics. We are comforted to know that if a disaster happens in the Davis area, we may not be able to eat, but we will be able to wash our hair.
Well, that ends the tour for today. Hope that you enjoyed yourselves and that we have something to post again soon. Oh, and we don't want you to leave without seeing our happy, smiling faces.
~ Amanda and Zac
