apartment tour: our master bedroom

We've not hung anything on our bedroom walls yet . . . it is on my to do list . . . maybe this summer.

The doorway to our bedroom is kinda unique.  It opens right up into the bathroom and to the left is the bedroom.

My bedroom used to be light tan and blue.  In order to keep most of the decorations that I have (lamps, wall hangings, flowers) but make it a bit more masculine, we decided to juts change the bed linens.  When I was back in the States, I fall in love with this duvet cover that added a dark brown.  So, my best friend gave us the duvet cover as a wedding gift.

Our closets.  Unlike in America, they are not built in.  Here is a little confession . . . I take up two and a hallf, Lawrance only takes up half of one . . . poor guy.  However, he does get twice as much dresser drawer space--so maybe it's fair after all. Nah . . . it's probably not! :)
Our "Closets"


Here is totally boring photo . . . but this is what you can see from the bed.  It is our dresser and make up table.  Along with our laundry baskets.  I'm not sure where I got the idea from, but we sort our dirty laundry as we throw them into the right hamper--lights, darks, and towels/sheets.  (I don't like the baskets out in the open, but it is practical and there is no where else for them to go.)

And, that's it for our very simple master bedroom. :)  Tomorrow, I'll show you our tiny tropical master bathroom that I just LOVE! :)

How funny! We have the exact same duvet cover!! At least it LOOKS the same. Is it Nautica? I think that's what mine is.... We got ours as a wedding gift too. I also chose it because it looked a bit more masculine than what I had before Rich.

Anyway, very good taste!! :)

Yes, I think it is Nautica! That is funny!! :) It's a small world . . .
although that idiom doesn't quite apply in this situation.

apartment tour: our kitchen Welcome to our tiny kitchen. It is literally about 2-3 foot wide to about 7-8 foot long. We can stand side by side, but passing each other to get back and forth is not easy. It didn't take long for me to begin to despise what I once appreciated . . . kitchen counter space!!! At first I was SO happy with the counter top space. Very quickly I began to complain again that they were too small. If you are standing at the door way to the kitchen, this is what you will see: Stepping past the new fridge, you'll see the sink with the dish dryer over it. Of course if you want see exactly this view, you're going to have to step outside onto our porch. Turning around to the left, you'll see this on the right: and this on the left. It is our "pantry." And, yes, it is all totally open--no pantries are needed when you shop fresh at the market daily (which I don't, so hence the need for a pantry). At the end of the kitchen, if you turn around, you'll see this. Right behind our sink are double glass doors leading to our laundry porch. And if you come back to the kitchen doorway and look the other way, you'll see where we eat. That's our bedroom door in the background. This photo taken from our bedroom doorway shows the kitchen/dinning room table and cabinet where we store all the dry baking goods and Lawrance's snacks as well as keep our rice cooker, little oven, and cookbooks. There are some random facts about our kitchen here. And, if there's anything else you wanna know, just ask. :) Up tomorrow is a look at our master bedroom. See you then!

apartment tour: our master bathroom Like I mentioned yesterday, I totally love our tiny tropical master bathroom. All our monkey stuff came from my bridal shower in the States--from my aunts. When one of my aunts asked me about the back story of the monkeys my simple answer was "I took my kid brother to help me register. :) I later double checked with Law about the monkeys and he LOVED them too. So . . . as a result, this room saw the largest transformation due to marriage. :) It truly is tiny. :) (The photo's kinda blurry. oops.) Some of the really cute monkey stuff. :) When I visited Japan, every home I stayed in had a calendar hanging across from the toilet. I have NO clue if it was just coincidence or if it is an actual Japanese cultural thing. However, I kinda liked the idea. So, every time you hear nature's call you can review your monthly appointments. :) Can you see why I love it? Isn't it SO cute?? :) Tomorrow, the last day of our apartment tour, I'll show you around our living room.
