In the difficult move to FL one interesting aspect is I get to live by myself when i'm not on duty or underway. I decided that I didn't need anything special and the closer to base the better (I get to sleep in). I've been working a lot lately so its a bit of a mess. But as mom could tell you, that is to be expected that my space has to have a touch of chaos at all times. :]
This is the view from my front door. Its a studio apartment so no bedrooms.. I still feel like I'm living in a hotel.. kinda odd but its nice at the same time. My bed is what they call a Murphy bed. It folds up into the wall.. Its actually pretty cool. It saved me from having to buy a futon or a bed or having me make a decision on either or. I still got room for a table and a couch. I def need something else in here. Just not quite sure what yet.
I have an attic! The stairs fall right between my sink and shower. Although I needed a pep talk in order to go up there.. I have faced my imagination demons and can now go up there..
This is my sink. There ain't a whole lot goin on in here.. I got the bare necessities - the coffee maker, a microwave, and the fridge. Pots and pans will come later so I can make brownies.. I think that is how the order of my house will come together, by what I want to make or do. Shoot.. it's my way!
This is one of the oldest, smallest ovens I've ever seen. hahah.. and since its an older apartment complex I have cochroaches hiding underneath... gross. Another bullet on my to-do list.
This is my storage space as of right now. The closet with shelves, the built-in entertainment center (where my laptop is is also where the wire for cable is) and a closet behind the closet doors.
I feel bad for my hubby. During my late night WalMart expeditions the first couple of days I was here I didn't really have a plan of what exactly I wanted.. just what I needed. So set with my list I just bought things I needed with whatever colors or designs I wanted, with complete disregard to my husband's taste. I have a lot of purple and animal print. I love teasing Steve about animal print. For some reason when he sees animal print his first thought is an obese female in skintight zebra pants (or something along those lines) - makes me chuckle, makes him gag. I'd say its a win win!
Now for this last picture is an item that ended up on my list that I did not ever think is something that most people would have on the basic "starter package for living alone"... This is my stool. I use it frequently. It lives in my kitchen where its never too far away from me.
That is it for now. I have a lot to catch up on it will all come in time.
