The dining room in our apartment works well with the layout of the apartment, and is totally usable too. At the first few apartments we looked at they either did not have a place for a dining room or kitchen table, or had carpet in the kitchen; which was the only place there was room for a table. It was frustrating to me! When we walked into the apartment we currently live in, I may have done a happy dance because there was a place for the kitchen/dining room table. YIPEE!
We painted one wall red, which we both really like :) I had a red wall in Florida and this reminds me of it, although it is completely different. The mirror on the wall actually is falling apart and I think it is too small for such a large wall...no worries, it is no longer there! We picked up a replacement at Hobby Lobby on Friday...pictures to come!
Immediately when you walk in the door to our apartment, the dining room is on the right and it is open with the living room. You can also see into the kitchen as shown in the above picture. I purposely did not photograph the light above the table because, well...it is pretty ugly. Again, I am thankful to have a dining room so that does not really matter. We could change the light, but since it is just an apartment we decided not to put any upgrading into this place. What's the point?
Now you can see our coat closet and heater along the wall. That heater controls all the heaters in the apartment...kinda cool. I also really like having the big closet for our coats and miscellaneous things like games and tools too, it is very handy!
I plan on taking some pictures of the new addition on the red wall sometime this week before we put up the Christmas decorations, and when I do I will write a post about it so you can see. I think it looks much better than the old mirror! Hope you enjoyed this tour of our dining room, stop by next week for more :)
