We got this from Ikea...and we love it. It sits lower than a standard bed (bc it doesn't require box springs), and has a modern look that fits in perfectly with the rest of the room.
I pass this construction site every morning on my way to work. It's going to be interesting watching this thing go from steel frame to completed building during the next four months or so...
Our bed frame hasn't come in yet (and won't for at least a week...blah), but our new mattress makes a very comfortable palette. (These things are expensive!)
We didn't have a lot of storage space so we got this heavy duty kitchen rack at Lowe's. We're thinking about hanging our pots and pans on the side...as soon as we can afford to buy the hooks (ha!)...
This is the trailer that we used to transport our things from home. My dad and I spent three days loading it and securing it. We loaded the back of his truck, Lindsey's car, my mom's car and pulled the trailer (and another full luggage buggy) down HWY 26 on Monday.
This is a picture of our new apartment. We are on the first floor and have a huge front porch. Some of the pickets of the railing are missing but it was ok because it made it easy to pass all our boxes through while we moved in.
"We want civilization to be a good thing. We want our habitats and artifacts to become part of the place and to substantiate our wish to belong....Always, we must start from that initial, crucial, puzzling recognition: that we are seeking justification through deference--and failing that, through economy and respectful use. That is why farms, barns and silos always seem appropriate and beautiful. That is why we like pig pens and deplore theme parks, because it is not necessary that buildings be beautiful, but it is necessary that they be necessary."
I am in my last semester of graduate studies in the Clemson University School of Architecture. I'm just trying to enjoy every last minute of school, while looking forward to getting back out into the world of professional architecture.
I enjoy architecture, web-design, photography, cooking, and sketching.
