Furnished...sort of

Here are some pictures of our "furnished" apartment.  We bought a couch, loveseat and coffee table, but the delivery date got pushed back until 12/28 so we are not quite feeling settled.  But I love the kitchen and it's nice to have our bedroom and bathroom put together.  Blogger is acting up on me so sorry the pictures are haphazard but there is a story behind our new furniture pieces.

There was a woman that lived in Hanford who was like a grandmother to Daniel's family.  She owned an antique store on her property.  She owned some land close to Daniel's family home where she had her house, antique store, guest house, and some farmland.  Daniel's parent's lived in the guest house when they were first married.  She passed away just a few months before I met Daniel but she was over 100 years old.  A lot of furniture was left to the Kahn family, and it floats around from home to home whenever it's needed.  When we went to pick up our things from Hanford, we also took with us a few extra treasures.

The dresser, mirror, and jewelry box above and the night table below all came from the antique store.  They just needed a little lemon oil and they look so beautiful in our bedroom.

Our "new" bed frame, though not an antique, was Daniel's bed in high school.  Kinda funny, but it was sitting in the barn and I love it.  It has space in the headboard for books and I want to stain it to match the dresser.  The other night table was an antique that we found.

This is one of three hall closets that we have in our apartment.  So much space!  Plus there is a second bedroom (not pictured because it's full of the stuff I don't know what to do with yet).  I am going to put a bed in there though in case anyone would rather stay with us.  Pretty sure everyone will opt for the resort, but you never know.

We got this TV stand for $70 at target.  Probably won't last long but we needed to get our TV off the floor.  We didn't bring ours from Portland because it was heavy and not that attractive.

Loving our dining space right now.  I put the table and chairs on the truck with the thought that they would be temporary but they've turned out to be perfect for us right now.  Plus we can always get bar stools.  I wish I had a better picture of the details of the chairs and of this little wedding chest.  The wedding chest is another new found treasure and I put kitchen linens in it.  I will have to have another post devoted just to that little piece of furniture.  It has little drawers when you open the top compartment.

Only one picture on the wall but we're getting there!  Since we won't have a couch before Christmas I don't feel up to decorating.  Oh well.  A girl can only do so much!!
