This is our book shelf that Nate put together from WalMart. As you see, on the left side there is a white little rectangle. That my friends... is our thermostat. Nate every so craftily cut out a perfect slot that is easy to reach and very accessible... but never gets used...
Through the bitter cold of Utah winter, this has been our means of heat. We do not turn on the heat... or the air... as our utility bill would be ridiculously high.
This cute little thing is the only storage space we have.
You might be asking yourself, "why in the world is there a picture of such a gross toilet on such a cute blog?" well, as we continue the tour through our cute little appartment luxuries, this one could not be overlooked. As you can see, our toilet has aged beautifully over the last 20 or so years... not only does it have this rustic look on the inside, but you have to hold the flusher down for 15-20 seconds if you want your potty to go all the way down.
You might recall from a few posts back my ranting and raving about "this awesome dresser we got from DI for $12!", well look at it now. Not so great anymore with no top drawer...It is so much fun being married and living in this cute little appartment with Nate. We have been very comfortable here despite the fact we dont have dishwasher, or washer and dryer (Lydia is kind enough to let us bring our mountin of laundry over whenver we need to)... But with all the money we saved on our utility bill (along with a few side jobs of babysitting and teaching some dirty dancing)... we got ourselves something to make our appartment just a little bit better.
