During these past few months I moved from beautiful, rural Alaska to the city life in Maryland! I definitely experienced a little culture shock once arriving- so many people, so many cars, so many stores! I may or may not have lost my mind when it came to shopping! ;-)
I miss my friends and my sweet, little cabin, but I know I made friendships that will endure the distance. And as for the cabin? Well, I'm slowly making this apartment my own and falling in love with it as well. I am basically a handywoman considering how much furniture I've assembled since moving here! IKEA was only too happy to oblige my inexperienced hands. Two beds, a table, and six chairs later, I think I'm good. Following a mini vacation with their grandparents, Lucy and Finn are enjoying life! After all, (keeping with the military kid stereotypes) home is where the heart is. And Maryland, I think we can have something pretty good here. Even if everybody here drives like crazy people!
Here's a sneak peek of my apartment... starting with the guest bedroom:

NEVER, EVER buy this trundle bed! 897638164 hours later it's together, but there's no way it's going anywhere! And the drawers don't work. |

I repurposed this step stool for when it's out of use! |
|
A simple shelf adds dimension and is handy for a late night glass of milk and cookies. |
Once I get the rest of the apartment up to par, I'll post some more! Any new blog header suggestions?
That is so cute! You really have an eye for decorating! I wish I did! Hmm...for a blog header...Making it in Maryland? Doing grand in Maryland? LOL.

This is a great room! I really love it. =) Your guests are lucky to have it to look forward to. I'm a little sad you're not having adventures in Alaska anymore. But as you say, home is where the heart is. =)
