future retro home

Now that it looks as if Jaime may actually be allowed in the USofA, sometime at the beginning of next year most likely, I feel that I can finally think a bit about our future here. So today my mom and I went to check out the 1960's apartment building they own in South Wichita near my alma mater, East High School. Despite my mother telling me not to expect much, I was pleasantly surprised with the place. We were shown two different 2-bedroom apartments, and I have photos of the first one, my favorite, to share with you all.

The most important room to me in most places where I live is the kitchen. I love cooking and need ample space for chopping and storing things. This kitchen does the trick. I opened and found out that the cabinets had already been baby-proofed, plus it has these totally nifty avocado green appliances! Too cool.

I didn't take another kitchen photo, but there's also an avocado green dishwasher and refrigerator to match! What style! I can't wait to move in my retro chrome kitchen table with matching bright red plastic chairs that I inherited from my Grandma Neufeldt.

Below is a photo of the living room. Oliver is pictured to give you an idea of the size of the place. He was having a lovely crawl on the wall to wall shag carpet, that had just been cleaned so we were told. That's me holding a chai tea off to the side. The nice big window is a sliding door to the balcony that overlooks a lovely church next door.

And last but not least, here's a photo of one of the two bedrooms, with lots of closet space (I didn't catch the other closet in the photo... Linda, the woman showing us the place was in a bit of a hurry).
So that's our possible future home. Next year I hope to have the Bethel shin-dig at my very own place with husbands/partners and kids included!! There's even a pool outside, although smaller than the one at my folks' place.
