A Place to Call Home

We have already found a great apartment! We are so excited! Our friends Nate & Cara currently live there! We met them out in Florida last summer. They are buying a beautiful town home in Saratoga Springs! (So Jealous!!) It truly is so beautiful! They will be moving out about August which is exactly what we were planning, timing wise to find & move into another place. I would like a month or so to get all settled in before the baby comes! So this works perfect! It's right off 1600 North in Orem. The drive is actually shorter to both work and my parents house, then it was from Alpine! Crazy! We are really excited! It doesn't seem like a basement apartment in anyway unless you look out the window (window wells is all you will see.) The kitchen/family room has 9ft ceilings and the bedrooms/bathroom/hallways are close to 8ft. The landlord asked us if we would like to paint and of course I was all over that! (sorry in advance to all those who will be asked to help, I guess I already volunteered you!) I think paint on the walls does so much to a home. He said I could pick the colors as long as they are reasonable. We really feel like we got an awesome deal and couldn't be happier. Can't wait to pick out paint! We think this will be a perfect little place for us until Ty is finished with school and we are ready to buy a home! But for now we will make this our home.
(These pictures were taken just a couple weeks ago and sent to me from my friend Cara to give me an idea what it looked like before we came to see it. Thanks for pics Cara hope its okay everyone is viewing your house) =)



This kitchen has double the cupboards I have ever had.

Family Room

The door on the left in the corner is our laundry room. It is really good size! I am so thankful a washer and dryer comes with it! =)
...................................................................
Master Bedroom... This picture doesn't do justice. This room is HUGE! Our bedroom set will finally fit! =) Can't wait to paint!

...................................................................
Babies Room... I will get to paint this room as well! I just can't wait to find out what we are having so I can start planning. This room is pretty big I hope I will have enough furniture to fill it.

Crib I am waiting to order

Dresser that will never be in stock I swear! I might just have to spend more and order it from another store. =(

How exciting! I was getting so excited when my eyes read Saratoga Springs thinking that's where you were moving but then I actually read orem! :o) Apartment looks way cute and nice. You guys always find such good deals! Will you be paying a lot more than in ALpine? Can't wait to see how you decorate it and what paint you pick!

Looks exciting! Love the crib! Hmmm looks a little familiar. Oh yeah that's because it's the same as mine and Amber's! Great taste!

Amanda! Congrats on the news of having a baby boy! How exciting! I noticed that you said you will be moving off of 1600 north in Orem. Murr and I live really close to there. You and Tyler should come to our ward- it would be fun! Let me know if you want any info on it!
