Apartment: Part 1

So I know that I promised that I would post pictures of my apartment once it got cleaned up, and today the living room and patio were actually clean for once. I hurried and took pictures of the living room and patio before it got dirty again. And good thing, because things have spread back out onto the couches right after I cleaned up!

I love our living room because it is so comfortable and there is so much space for everyone to sit and just hang out.  I love just parking myself on the couch (can you see my stuff on the red one?) and just working and whenever someone comes into the apartment just talking to them for a little while. It's also the perfect walking distance to the kitchen to get a little snack!

The patio is probably my favorite part of the apartment, but it's been a little too hot lately to really enjoy it. It's been nice to study out there in the evenings though and we've had dinners out there as well as game nights.  I especially love that we have little white Christmas lights hanging. It makes it just seem nicer and also puts some light outside too.

So what is your favorite room in your home? And do you have any suggestions as to how we can make our living room more homey? We're still trying to work on it. We have some pictures up but the walls still seem fairly bare.

Productive Saturday

Today has been a very productive Saturday. I've done all my laundry and I even washed my sheets and made my bed! I cleaned up a lot of things and organized everything as well.  I thought that I would share a few pictures of what my part of the apartment looks like.  Currently, the rest of the apartment is a huge mess, but once it all gets cleaned up (hopefully soon!) I will post pictures! I must say though, I love being able to do laundry in my apartment as well as not having to do dishes by hand.

That's my bed, with of course, all my pillows and friends.
It looks like I don't have a lot of leg room, but I probably have a good
2 feet from my bed to the bed above mine. We've tripled our beds. It looks really cool.
 I'll post a pictures once my roommates make their beds. 

I finally figured out how to keep all of my purses and totes organized!
They are now in a bin right next to the dresser and it goes under my bed, a little bit.
You can also see that my hamper is finally empty!

I put all my clothes away and they are now organized.
And yes, that is a giant storage bin of shoes.
Shoes are my weakness...

You can actually see my desk! And it is being used too.
I have photos from the past couple years at APU as well as photos of my family
and my girls that have been in my cabin at Mt. Hermon the past two years. 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can continue to keep my bed, desk, and closet organized and clean?
