Our apartment is teeny tiny. But, it's quiet and the neighbors are friendly. We are walking/biking distance from a lovely green-way walking trail that cuts through the woods. The trees are what drew us to this area of town. It feels secluded though we're minutes from down town.

| My engagement owls. Andrew gave me these when he proposed to me. We spotted them together previously when we were ring shopping in an antique store. |
I think we deserve an award for our use of space in this apartment. The living room is filled with our (homemade) farm dining table, vintage bright yellow sofa, gigantic square coffee table, about a quarter of the chairs we bought and painted for the wedding, our salvaged desk, and one of my favorite pieces: a two piece shelf that we found at the flea market.

| A woman who sells these at the flea market gave me this set as a wedding gift. |
I found the first piece on a Friday. A beat up, semi warped/full of character, kitchen piece. It has many cubbies and drawers and hooks... and a flour sifter. Too short to use on it's own, I originally passed it up. I couldn't get it out of my head. So, I sent Andrew back early the next morning. Later that Saturday, I happened upon a kelly green pie safe, sans doors and side screens. The two pieces stack perfectly.

| Matches from the wedding. |
 |
| I made this portrait of us for Andrew back when we were dating, and the bunnies were our cake topper. |
 |
| One day, we will be bee keepers. |
 |
| I think this framed picture of a brain (from a 1970's biology book) tells the world that I think smart is sexy. |
 |
| A few of our cook books... Andrew stole some of the best ones to use at work. |
 |
| My grandmother gave me this owl many years ago... I've just been collecting them since. |
 |
| We like type face, if you haven't noticed. This one is our wedding date. |
 |
| The yellow sofa made a debut at our wedding, along with well, most of our furniture. |
