The dining room and "pantry." I was going crazy for the first week or so before we got something to hold the pantry items.
The kitchen. Not a ton of storage space, but functional enough.
The living room. I think this is my favorite room; it is a nice big, open space for Henry to crawl around in.
Matt's "office" space in our bedroom. Remember the light I mentioned in the morning? There are five layers of fabric over that window trying to block that light so Matt can sleep after his night shifts. Mostly works.
And of course, Henry's room! We painted it yellow, just because. I think his favorite part of the room so far is the drawer in the table-thing on the right. He LOVES to open that drawer. Notice that he doesn't have 5 layers of fabric blocking his window. But since he has yet to make it til sunrise in his own room, I don't think he really cares. This room is actually bright enough yellow that when it's light outside, the room sort of glows out into the hallway. Matt and I have both gone in there to turn off the light, only to find that there wasn't one on at all.
So there it is! Home sweet home for the next little while. I think I can safely say that we are all settled in. I've even met some of the neighbors. That's definitely one thing that is different living in a condo versus an apartment... the other people are permanent residents, not a constantly changing population of renters. Out of the five other units in our building, I have met Ron in C (who came down to tell me that my trunk was wide open... thanks to Henry playing with my keys), Don in D (who has the same car as me), and Linda in either E or F (I'm not sure, but she brought us muffins, so I like her). I also saw the lady in A who lives next to us, but she didn't really introduce herself so it doesn't count. I think we'll enjoy living here, though. If you ever want to come visit, just let us know!

Thanks for the tour Betsy! Visual people like me feel much more connected now. Also, LOVE the blue in your bedroom and I love Henry's yellow room (mine is yellow too, incidentally). The living room looks awesome and the kitchen looks like a bit of an adjustment from your last kitchen, but just fine in the long run. Very cool. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity two posts in a row :D Love yas! Kisses to the little man.
I can totally sympathize with the light issue in the bedroom. As it is, I installed a room-darkening shade in my bedroom behind the blinds that came standard with the apartment. That wasn't good enough, so I have now taped the shade in place so that the minimum amount of light comes through the crack between the window and shade. It makes a HUGE difference. Josh thinks it's pretty hysterical...he has NOTHING but the blinds that came with the apartment. I don't get how he sleeps....when I come out of my room there's a blinding light blazing out from under his bedroom door. Light is truly evil when you're trying to sleep. Pitch black, that's what I say.
