settling in.....

Our new place is coming together slowly. If I haven't mentioned, we have moved out and got a place of our own without a roommate. We rented a small cozy one bedroom condo about 2 miles away from our old place. It was tough at first trying to adjust to the new and a lot smaller place but I must say we have done pretty good job at making full use of every corner of the place. I am pretty darn proud of it. We still need a few more pieces of furniture but at least each room is functional now.

We were at Ross one night and John found this cute sign. 
we knew we had to get it. :)
We went to IKEA today and found this fabulous gadget for our kitchen. It was perfect for our small kitchen, where currently my spices have been tucked away in one of the tiny drawers. It was so inconvenient, and needless to say I was very unhappy about it. I am so glad we found this... although John had to make some alterations to the rod, it is still the perfect solution. It was one of his proudest projects for the house so far. He was so determined to get it although i was a little reluctant due to the hefty price tag. But. Like he said, it is something we can use for many years... maybe it's worth it :) It looks so nice in our kitchen too. The spice jars are currently empty. The next project would be to label each jar and fill these little suckers up.
I am slowly liking our new place and most important of all, our privacy! :))))
