Using my sister’s camera, I took some quick pictures of how my apartment looks so far. It’s been about a month now since I’ve moved on and I still got some work to do to the place. Most of my stuff is unpacked, but I have some boxes in my bedroom closet of minor things that I need some book shelfs for them.
This is my living room taken back by my computer in the dinning area. White walls are white. I’m working on some paintings to put up along them.
My awesome couch. I got it for about $480, including tax. It normally goes for $800, but I got it for less as it is sightly damaged. There are some scuff marks on one of the sides and one of the back pillow needs some sowing done.
My current entertainment center. Back when this was in my bedroom, I used to have all of my action figures on it, but I don’t want to do that this time, so it’s just games and such now. I’m looking for a bookcase to put some of my old stuff. I also plan to get a new TV stand, one that would be better for a large HD TV.
My dinning room area, which has my parent’s love set that they loaned until I could get a couch. Of course, there’s my computer back in the corner. I would like to get a bigger desk and a bookcase next it to store more stuff. To left is a painting I finished. It’s a conversation painting to get people to talk about what all of the cloud people are doing up in the sky. There are a ton of little details, so a picture doesn’t do it any justice.
My kitchen. It’s small, but it works fine. I could use a bigger freezer since I like to buy a variety of food.
And now for my bedroom for sleeping and other activities. I got the bed set after completing a dangerous mission a few months back. Okay, I lied. I bought them at Target.
I got the bed headboard, dresser, dresser mirror, and night stand at retail furniture place, Corts, for like $475. Like the couch, there’s some minor scrapes, but it’s hardly noticeable. The most annoying thing about my apartment is in the corner where you see my laundry basket is where you can hear a loud water pipe whenever someone above me uses their water. I’m hoping to find a 5 foot tall bookcase to put in the corner and help muffle the sound.
My shower curtain I stole from tiny shop in Japan. Alright, I got it from Target as well. My bathroom is pretty small. It’s in a hallway next to my bedroom, which is nice that people don’t have to walk through my bedroom to get to the bathroom.
And a final picture of my living area from the kitchen. As you can see in front of the entrance door, there’s a closet. Worst location for a closet ever. It was so freakin’ hard to get my couch and even the love seat into my place.
Other than the water pipe noise (which I’m sort of used to), old windows, and the utility closet location, it’s a great place. The pictures don’t show it too well, but it’s pretty huge. I want to say it’s like 700 square feet. Let’s see, I have my own water heater, which takes up a good chuck of space in my bedroom closet, but hey I don’t have to share the hot water. Right now, I’m paying $475 a month. It’s cheap because it’s an older unit and hasn’t been remodeled. Overall, it’s better than any of my friends’ first place.
Anyway, that’s what my place looks like for now. I’ll take some pictures and maybe a movie of the place when I get more stuff worth showing off.
