Apartment Hunting: Part 3

As I said in my last post I have finally found a place to live... yippy! I have been there almost two weeks now and I am loving it. I am slowly making the place my own but you will have to wait and see until it is all finished.

This post is to give you a tour of the inside of my place before I moved everything in. So grab a cup of whatever you enjoy, my choice is a big glass of water, and let's go...


Follow me through my front door



I love the brick and big windows of my place. Even though this place is little (as you will see in a minute) these big windows let in so much light that I rarely use the lights inside during the day time. I think natural light is a beautiful thing and one of God's many great wonders so I like to let in the light and just enjoy it. Okay enough talking let's head inside shall we


Living room and


dining area.







This is my tiny little kitchen with a big refrigerator that is just perfect for me. 

Now onto my bedroom. This is considered a studio apartment, so I do not have a door to my bedroom which I like. There is a curtain rod up because I am going to hang long curtains in place of a door.



That ugly, low hanging fan that wobbled when on high that I thought would chop my head off and could only be used on low has recently been replaced.




It is actually a nice size room and is coming along nicely!!

Down the hall to the right is my sink and mirror and then on the left is the bathroom with the shower and toilet.



and then past the bathroom to the door at the end of the hall is my beautiful closet...




That I have filled with all of my clothes, shoes, and random things. I sometimes just stand in the doorway and stare at it because I haven't had a walk-in closet since I was little and there is just so much space I love it!

Well the tour has come to an end I hope you enjoyed! Now to leave you with pictures of the views from my front door.



I love my little patio. I like going out there to sit and read a good book.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

*My Thoughts*
I love having my own place to call my own that is all mine.
It is slowly coming along.
Thank you all for coming along on this tour with me. I have enjoyed showing you my empty place but I cannot wait to show you the finished product. :)

Apartment Hunting: Part 2

I am still in the process of finding a place to live, it is exhausting and stressful, but I am sure many of you already know that. After a few failed attempts and changing my area of focus I have found a few potential places...








I like this place because the front door is on the inside in a hallway. I also like the back porches and how they are set up. The bricking is a nice touch as well. However the windows seem small and I, personally, need a lot of sun light.

This place is Oaks of Spring Valley




I like this place because there is a lot of greenery around, the buildings are nice and I really like the patios. 

The Preserve at Spring Lake







This place is a lot like the first but it is in a different location. The windows are bigger, which is a plus. There is a substantial amount of greenery, but I didn't see a pool while driving around. I like the building style more.

Soo if you hadn't noticed all of these pictures were taken in my car because it was waaaayyy too hot out today; I did not want to keep getting in and out of my car... turning it on and off. I apologize for the picture quality.

Now beings the process of looking through those places so I can land on one place and put in an application. I will keep you up-to-date with the process.

Apartment Hunting: Part 1

I went apartment hunting yesterday. It did not go so well. Oh well back at it... more research.

Finding a new place to live is not an easy task and it is very nerve racking. I have been trying to take it in parts. I did research on a few potential places (through websites) and then yesterday I went to visit them. Let's just say they were a bust. I then drove around the area where I would like to live. I found a few places but they are a bust as well... sigh!





Just a few snap shots I took of the places I looked around... aren't they beautiful? Double sigh.

*My Thoughts*
I will not give up. I will find the right place. I just need to do some more research.
A short and sweet post today.
While I am writing this post I am in the middle of working on a project for another post.
Busy blogger life...
It's a good life :)
