Ruston and Sam in China


The Chinese arm of the McLean family (sans Jessie)


Ruston and his 'hawg'

More of the couches and the bedroom

Last couple of the house before moving on...


Here's one from the reverse angle. Shot from the doorway of our bedroom.


Here's one of our bedroom with the brand new spring arm lamps...

couches!

Woohoo! We now have some places to sit in our living room...


1) This one is of our living room. Sam took this by standing on the couch and shooting in towards the dining room table (which has dinner on it).


2) This one is taken from the same spot (next to the door standing on the couch's back) and taken towards our little study / office nook.


3) Here's me at work in our nook. In the photo, you can see our very nifty lamps that are serving as our desk lights.


4) Here's a shot taken from our front door into the house so you can see a larger shot of our living room including the couches, which are in an 'L' configuration.


5) Another shot 'straight in' the door. Our office nook is on the right, the dining table on the left and you can see straight into our bedroom ahead.

More new photos...

The blog only lets you publish 5 photos per post so here are some more...



Here's one of our study nook. Say 'hi', Sam!



A view into our kitchen (same as before since we didn't have to furnish it!)



Here's a shot into our bedroom. You can see our lack of bureaus, but the bed is there! And you can even see our window seat, all our un-put away junk and the foot of our bed.



From the head of the bed looking at our junk.

New Photos with Furniture!

So we have new furniture! Woohoo! Here are some shots of our semi-furnished apartment. We're now only missing some couches, a coffee table, our bureaus and bedside tables. And we'd like to add some more lighting as well. So without further ado...




This one is looking from the front door into the house at an angle to the left. You can see our dining table, Ikea bookshelves and one of our bookshelves. You can see the edge of our bedroom door to the very right.



This one is from the front wall of the house (the same wall as the door is one) but from the opposite side. Here you can see our study nook, into our kitchen and the other side of the door into our bedroom.



Shot from our study nook at our bookshelves.

New Apartment! Yeah!

So we found a new place that we'll hopefully get the keys to on June 16th (Dad's birthday) and be moved into by first or second week of July. Very excited. Right now, we've only got the preliminary contract signed with the 'real' lease agreement to be executed on May 20th. It'll be nice to have an honest to goodness one bedroom apartment with a real kitchen and a bedroom we can close the door to.

We quite like our potential/hopeful new landlords and hope that we'll be able to stay here for a while now.


This is what the apartment looks like when you walk into the front door looking slightly to the left. The kitchen is to the right.

This is looking from the front left corner of the living/dining room along the left wall towards the kitchen. You can see the front door on the right.

Looking into the kitchen. The door is open and so covers the fridge and some of the counterspace and cabinets on the right hand side.

Bathroom looking directly in.

Same bathroom, looking slightly to the right so you can see the tub/shower.

This is a relatively 'high angle' (I held the camera above my head to get more of the room) looking from the end of the closet into the room. You can see the bottom edge of the bed in the lower right hand corner of the photo. The room is actually quite large and has room for a desk and some more storage.

Looking from the end of the room (by the TV from the last picture) back. You can see here not only my beautiful bride but also the built in closets / storage with drawers along the bottom and storage above our heads.
