**Contest is now CLOSED! Click here to see who won!**
Hi friends! Happy Monday!
Thanks for bearing with me this past week! After a full week of cleaning out the old apartment, we are FINALLY DONE moving– and it feels so good to be settling into our new home! There are still a few things we’d like to add to the new place– we would love some speaker stands, a few more pictures, and some house plants– but all and all, it’s really coming along! While we’ve still got some work to do, I wanted to go ahead and share some photos of our new place!
Here’s our new living area:
We are really excited about our push-button gas fireplace, too!
Thank goodness for IKEA– that black rail above my stove makes organizing my kitchen so much easier! I’m keeping my measuring cups, spoons, and most-used spices above the stove, so I don’t have to dig around for them in a drawer every time I cook! Plus, I think it looks cute.
The kitchen is the most important room of a home to me– I spend a lot of time in there, and I want it to be cute and efficient! We looked at a lot of apartments before deciding on this one, and I love that our new kitchen has a gas stove and plenty of cabinet space! I’ve got a lot of kitchen gadgets to be stored, so cabinet space is a must!!!

Since i just moved into my first own apartment,there are alot of things i need ,especcially the kitchen is looks pretty sad,i would love to get some basics for my kitchen so i can actually use it,but its too expensive to buy everyhting at once.I really want a food processor,but im still saving for it.
I would buy the Saldacco Spiralizer!!!
I just tweeted you.
Congrats on the new place! the Kitchen is sooo spacious and I love the fireplace too. How does Yasha like it?
I would honestly buy just new pots and pans. The ones I have right now were given to me and they’re horrible. Ugh.
I just moved into my new condo a few weeks ago, so I could DEFINITELY use a gift card! I don’t even have a set of plates. Or bedding. I’m borrowing both of them from my sister, and when she returns from her travels in a couple months, she’ll be taking them back!
I like the simplicity of the Chelsea Frank Elle Duvet Series- maybe I would use the gift card towards a splurge like that!
I might use it toward a Handy Living Milton Convert-A-Couch Full Sleeper.
I’d use it toward one of the pressure cookers!
I’d put it towards the Seth Thomas Polyfiber Solar Clock – WWH009179 {SKU #: EO1219}
