Our Iowan Home

       Before our move, I was slightly nervous that the on-campus housing we are renting was going to be a dump, to put it delicately. But as usual, my low expectations were exceeded.  It may not be the trendiest apartment for social calls and teaparties (and definitely not new, our apts were built in the 1960's),  but its totally functional and it feels like home. Come, let me give you a tour.

The Following Is A Complete Photo Dump That May Get Boring For Those that Hate Watching HGTV (Brian):

Front Room/Family Room

Brian's Cool Grown-Up Desk

Still trying to get rid of that TV.

 

The new TV.

The Master Bedroom 

There are indented lines throughout the apt to hang pictures on with S hooks. One way to protect the walls for 50 years I guess.

The entire apt is floored with tile so I got a few rugs for our tootsies.

This diaper baby loves her feet.

Yes, I have too many shoes and sometimes I still sleep beside Dusty, my Horsie.

 The Eensy Teensy Pantry

 

The Lickle Monkey Bathroom

The Kitchen/Hallway (View From The Bathroom)

Just bought these lovelies from Craigslist. Washer, Dryer, Microwave. Also, brand new oven courtesy of the University.  The old one didn't know when it was time to stop heating.

First time with a double sink and a disposal. Hurray!

Scarlett's Room

Redneck Portable Dishwasher/Changing Table. 

This was the perfect thing to hang over her bed in Tornado Town; and it's a special reminder.

I'm planning on painting something on that wood block I made. Maybe an "S" for Scarlett or I could just Put A Bird On It.Please go to that link, it is wonderful.

So hey guys, come visit! We have a big couch, a queen size blow-up mattress and a *California King Size Bed we can share!  If we get really full we can hang you from the sturdy, tested-by-time ceilings in Brian's old hammock from his mission, mon!   So head on down to Iowa, because: 

           *We probably won't share our bed unless you have a doctor's note

except for kidnappers, thieves, and overall weirdos.
