Here is our living room and a bit of the kitchen. If you saw our place before (Here you can see what our place looked like in 2006), you’ll notice the huge cleaning job I did, yesterday. And guess what? No company came. Haha. We hardly ever get company. (In fact, I get more company to my blog!) But I’m so happy with the cleaning I did. (The first photo shows how much garbage and bottles I collected.) Now I just need to vacuum. I started yesterday, but our vacuum cleaner caught on fire so I didn’t finish the job. (I blew out the smoke and then unplugged it right away.) It sure stunk up the place too, I had to burn a "carrot cake" scented candle for about an hour.

When i look at the pictures I’ve taken here of our place I’m reminded of the photos I see on real estate websites. Most of the time the photos are so bad. I mean I would love a Realtor to hire me to just take photos of their places they have for sale, because I’m sure I could take better photos, and I just use my phone. (There’s a suite available in our 4-plex. I think the landlord is charging $800/mo, or less for 2 floors, covered carport parking, 2 storage rooms, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, insuite laundry, and it’s very spacious.)

In the pictures you’ll see our entertainment section where we watch a lot of shows and movies. We got the stereo system on Freecycle! (It’s a 6 disc changer.) We got our treadmill on Freecycle, it’s sick right now and it’s barings are being seen by the Doctor, but we hope to be massaging it with our feet real soon! (I LOVE giving massages..haha.) On the wall, above the treadmill and below the skylight, you’ll see one of my Grandma "Paints" (AKA Rosina Appeldoorn) oil paintings, and the other one is a large picture from IKEA. We got our tv from Craigs List for only $500 and it’s HD, as well as SO easy to see. The couches were our first Anniversary gift to eachother, and they are new. Also, in the fridge you’ll see the love of my life right now…

…The stainless steel pot (we got from IKEA a couple months ago). I have been making a lot of soups lately and just loving them. And you know? ALL my soups have beans in them. I just love beans! I think the red kidney ones are my favourite. Do you have any Vegan bean recipes that are simple to make??? If so, please share! Thanks.

Welcome to our house!
