Pictures (testing)


Hi everyone, I figured out how to post pictures! Ok so this is our living room. We haven't received our shipment yet so it is still pretty bare. I got the rug, picture and flowers from Ikea. The white, leather furniture isn't really me but could be worse :)

This is the dining room. Our front door is to the right and the sliding door is to our tiny kitchen. We have the picture Mum and Dad gave us and the picture Treasa gave us on the glass shelves on the left. The table seats 6 but very tightly.Ok, so wood floors throughout. Rug from Ikea. Abby's room and our room to the left. Guest bathroom and James' room to the right. This is where I plan to put majority of our family pictures when they come.
This was our coffee table but I moved it against the wall for more room in the living room. We had some pictures of Jack, Mason and Ryker framed from the summer.
The view out our front balcony. To the left is the clock tower and central park is the green area.
This is our window seat. It faces the back view of the apartment. It's wide and long enough for 2 people to sit and play cards or read. We figured it might come in handy as extra seating when people are over.
View from the balcony. We have a balcony in the front and the back but the front is glassed in and has storage cabinets so I keep my ironing board, James' ripstick and cleaning supplies there. The balcony off the living room has a table, chairs and I have a few plants out there. Just planted the forget-me-nots from Laura's wedding, and Abigail's fairy garden is out there until winter. Abigail can access the balcony from her bedroom as well. Nice to sit out at night and look out at the city.
We went to the bird and flower market yesterday. Both of the kids got a couple of turtles. We also bought plants for the balcony and got Abigail's fairy garden started.
This is for Mum, Abigail's fairy garden. If you look closely you can see the bridge and pagoda. We'll add to it later.
The night scene from our balcony. The center building has the tetris game on the side. You can see the blocks on the left. Sometimes it has the olympic mascots waving.

We'll post more soon. :)
