Well, friends. We've lived in our apartment for quite a few months now and I've been wanting to share our home. I've been trying to think of a clever name for our new abode, but I haven't been able to come up with a name ... until today. Since I've started this blog, we've lived at the little house, the little townhouse and lastly, the little cottage.
So, welcome to our new home ... the garden apartment. No, we don't have a garden at our door step, but we do have our own little plot of land in our apartment's pea patch. We reserved our own little gardening space and will be doing some planting very soon!
I thought I'd take you on a little tour, as you walk into our apartment from the front door. To the left is the wee one's bookshelf ... full of seasonal books and picture books. Hidden in our armoire is our t.v. and videos. The basket to the right is full of Forest's toys. He loves pulling his toys out of it.

This little lamp is from (the flea market) The Mercantile in Anacortes. I love the way stained glass looks when it is lit up!

One of the things I don't really like about this apartment is this built-in bookshelf. It serves a purpose though I guess. We have our board games, picture albums, baby books, cd collection and some of Sienna's art supplies stored here.
When you turn around from the armoire, we have our sofa, dvd collection, bookshelf with some of Mama's and Daddy's books and rocking chair. And yes, that is Forest looking at himself in the mirror of the push toy.
A closer look of the bookshelf. My belly cast from Forest is on top. I wish I would have done one with Sienna, too! There is also a handprint flower that Sienna made me for Mama's Day at preschool last year.
On the other side of the sofa, is a cabinet filled with all of our children's movies and dvd's.
Some of my favorite art work is also displayed in our cozy living room. I love these prints from the 1980's that I found for $20 at a shop in Mount Vernon.
This one is called "Stephanie's Dream Bunny" by Barbara Bourgeau-Richards.
This one is called "Helen Kathryn and Mama's Goose" by Barbara Bourgeau-Richards.
This one is called "Frolic in the Forest" and I found it in the Taproot magazine, which I received the first issue of for free. If we had extra money, I would love to subscribe to this magazine.
This was a gift from Aunt Jenn when she traveled to Australia. It's so sweet! I like to joke that it is Sienna and Forest.
And there you have our cozy living room ... at least until we move again!
