So one of the benefits of being married is that you get to come home every night to the one you love... and you get to decorate that home for the one you love and make it yours. When we got married we got a ton of stuff, and a good amount of gift cards... I thank those for making our first apartment cute and warm. We live in a nice complex here in Rexburg and we love our ward. We choose to go to the family ward instead of the student ward and I must say... I LOVE IT! I think this is one of the best wards I have ever been in. There is such a great variation in ages and experience. About a fourth of the ward are newly weds which allows us to make friends and have dinner parties. I feel really blessed to be here. Bryce and I were called as the activities commitee chairs and we look forward to getting to know even more people and plan some fun events.
So on to the tour, it isn't much but I am sure proud of it!
We decided on a Texas theme living room in honor of Bryce's mission We have the longhorns and everything!
We got our wedding pictures developed and they offer a little warmth and friendliness to our new place.
Our couch, bookcase, and dining room table were donate by my parents... my sister Cherie so elegently stated, that our couch is well used, "and has been farted on by everyone in our family." Well at least we don't have to worry about it getting dirty. :) It is suprisingly in great condition for how long my family had owned it.
The Kitchen.. not so exciting, but it does offer a lot of space.
The Bathroom, It has a subtle lighthouse theme. My Mom and I took a trip up the oregon coast and stopped at all the lighthouses along the way. I used the pictures I took for the images on the walls. I love the colors in here, anyone who knows a little about my pet peeves knows my obsession over nice bathrooms. So making this room inviting was important to me. Our washer and dryer are also in the bathroom and we have linen closets on both sides! 
The entryway/hallway
The Bedroom! Thanks Ikea and Bed Bath and Beyond for making things easy!
This is one of my favorite things in the house. Bryce made this dresser as a wedding present to me. I love it! He made it out of Black Walnut, Alder, and Curly Maple. I have quite the talented husband! He also made it extra big so I could cram all my clothes inside.

Cool dresser! You really are lucky to have married someone so talented. Too bad Lily might steal him since she loves him so much!!!
Your apartment is beautiful. I especially like the dresser.
I love your shower curtain. We have the same taste without knowing it we bought the same one for our bathrooms. I love your color theme also. And the dresser is absolutely perfect to go with your perfect husband.
I think you guys' apt is cute! I know how it is when you are starting out, and we've had our fair share of donated furniture too...... Which definitely makes you appreciate when you finally get to purchase your own! Love your bathroom, those are some of my favorite color combos.
