We got a koozie, snacks, shampoo, water, take out menus and a VIP card to a local Mexican restaurant. We get 15% off every time we go! Hellloooooo perks :)
And now for a trip around our new place... we like to call it...Home :)
The first stop is not actually in our apartment... it's the Trash Room, yes we have a Trash Room and it's right next door to our apartment. You can never smell it and it is SUPER convenient. 
Down the shoot it goes! Another great thing our complex has is recycling, which we learned it rare for Houston. We're really glad they have it because it cuts down our trash bag usage by a lot!
Next you arrive at our front door...#4349
Step inside and our kitchen is on the right. It's not huge, but it's got plenty of cupboards so we're not complaining.
Across from the kitchen is a hallway that has a huge closet for a washer and dryer. We chose not to rent them and so we have a great space for the dog's crate. We also have shelves in there for all the pet stuff, tools and reusable shopping bags we can fit in there. Trust me, there are a lot of them! At the end of the short hallway is a door to our bathroom. In here we decided to go with a chemistry theme. I like it because it's different... Jarrod likes it because... well he's my mad scientist/engineer :)
As you can see there is plenty of counter space...
I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a shower curtain with the actual periodic table on it, so we found this one with squares and added a bunch of elements ourselves. It's much more artsy this way.
We found chemistry sets online and so we're using test tubes to hold our toothbrushes, a beaker to hold toothpaste and flossers and a special beaker (can't remember the name) for our mouth wash. So fun!
Now on to the bedroom. As I mentioned in my other post, it's not huge, but with such a big closet in the bathroom we actually don't need that much space.
Love this bed spread :) It's kinda girly but my wonderful husband said he didn't mind. It works really well with the grey we ended up going with on the wall and the curtains. I feel so grown up with a real bed set. Matching pillows, sheets and even a bed skirt which Portland has deemed the best hiding space in the house!
We decided to go with a sort of outside/far east/mediation theme in here. We love buddha statues and trees and all things foreign so we found several fun pieces when we go our new couch and at Pier 1.
This photo will hang over our bed eventually. At least as soon as we are certain it will stay, don't need it crashing on our heads!
Now onto the living room, my favorite place :) We have a much better couch now and many shelving units for all our books. Even with all the furniture we got it still does not feel crowded. Thank you ultra high ceilings.
And here is Roosevelt's favorite place in the apartment....
Lounging in the sun on the window sill of course!
And last but not least the loft. These pictures make it look clean even though for awhile it was our dumping ground for things we didn't know the home of. It will be great for guests one day and for me to get some work done if needed.
And more shelves! Built in ones at that!
OOoooo and last but not least our new spice rack! haha I forgot this when I wrote about the kitchen...oops!!
Very handy I must say :)
Well I hope you have enjoyed the tour and you get to see our new place in person sometime soon!
