Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Mack and I have been married for a year now and this is the third apartment that we've lived in. For the first time we have been able to make our home a little more homely. The only furniture we've had is a two seater couch and another chair that my sister Nikki gave us when we got married, a TV stand, a kitchen table from Mack's parents, a bed, and a dresser from Mack's parents. When I think about it, it's not a lot of stuff in our apartment.

I've always done my homework on the couch and Mack has to do it on the kitchen table which he hates because it is always cluttered with stuff. Lately it's been his protein and supplements for working out that have been taking up a lot of space on the table. We decided we needed a desk and some type of shelving thing to have more places to put our junk. Mack went to Ikea and bought a desk and this shelving thing to go with it.


You can see his supplements and stuff in the top cubbies.


We were excited to finally have more things in our house so we went back and got that painting above the desk, another frame and some fabric to put in it, a desk lamp, and a little side table so our elephant, Herman, could stand on something, oh yeah and Mack's creepy old man picture.


It definitely feels more like a home now, only a year late but that's ok.
P.S. Our living room should be in an Ikea magazine because everything but the TV stand is from there.

At first I thought that top picture was pulled from the Ikea website. hahaha! YAY for new furniture! When we eventually move into a house the poor thing is going to be bare for the longest time. And no wonder your table was cluttered, Mack has a ton of big protein stuff!

I love what you've done to your place! LOL...I think that's a line from a book or movie, but it's so appropriate for you guys!

Enjoy the desk and shelf. It looks really sharp! I love the pictures, etc. Keep up this blog. It's a good way to keep in touch!!
