Scenes From My Apartment: The Great Room

My apartment is a decorators nightmare!

I've got three rooms of furniture in one long room and it feels a little too incongruous and disorderly.  What am I saying...it's completely disorderly because I have more stuff than I have room to put things.  My entertainment center is now stuffed full of toys and the desk I'm using doesn't have any drawers. But I'm making the most of it.

The Living Room

The Office

The Dining Room

The Great Room!

This picture sits above the dining room table.  iKeith won it the year that The Colorado Rockies began...he also won season tickets and didn't go to a single game.  I find it ironic that he's owned this picture since 1993 and now he works across the street from Coors Field. 

Next Week: The Kitchen!


*Bachelor Pad*
I think I'm done with that show.  The pie eating contest made me sick and I can't stand Natalie and Elizabeth.  Watching it is giving me that icky feeling from high school.  Can someone tell me what happened before the rose ceremony that made Tenley cry?  I missed that part.

  4. I think you've made it look great already! However, you should know that Google is serving an ad to "build your dream closet" by Easy Closets as if to mock you. :)

  5. OH MY GOSH... Elizabeth goes through me ... & I woulda punched Gia in the face if I were close to her!

    Tenley was crying because Elizabeth said that her & Kovak's relationship was no different then Tenley & Kiptyns - where Tenley said, "Except for the physical part" - & Elizabeth shot her a look that woulda knocked her dead!!! EVIL EYES... Then she said something like "Thanks for putting that out there" - & Tenley was like "I thought everyone knew" & then she felt bad thinking she said something she shouldnt have... it was all dumb... just proof Elizabeth is a crazed woman!

    It makes me feel like it makes women look so bad - shows how easily men can dupe them & have them turn on each other... I literally was SCREAMING last night over it! ... so something must be wrong with me watching it - haha!!!

  9. Why do they design rooms this way? It's great for a bowling alley, but a living space? Not so much.
    repeat after me:
    "It's temporary. It's temporary..."

  13. When we had to size down to this apartment, we had to give up the dining table. The small area that they allotted for dining is where our office is. I hate that we don't have a real table but I tell myself that it is only temporary.

    I like the way you turned the desk so that it creates more of a distinct space rather than just being against the wall and bleeding into the living space.
