Today I thought I would give you a tour of our little home. Actually, "dorm room" is probably more accurate, but I don't like to think about that fact. It is only 275 square feet, and that includes the bathroom and kitchen. In each set of before & after pictures, the "before" picture was taken the first night we arrived back in February.
As you can see, apart from adding a duvet to the bed and a few other pictures and things around the room, it really isn't decorated. Normally that would bother me immensely. In the apartment we lived in before moving to Grenada, I loved nothing more than getting to add curtains and paint and things to the walls. But down here, nobody really sees it, and it's probably not the best use of our money or luggage space to bring down sets of curtains and decorations. And surprisingly, I don't mind it the way it is right now. Plus, it gives me something to look forward to when we move back to the States in a couple years.
So here we go. Here is the kitchen, which is immediately in front of you when you walk through the door.

Looking back at the door.
Next, here is the bathroom. It is behind the kitchen. As you can see, there is hardly any storage in here. So we keep most of our toiletries in baskets on a shelf right outside the bathroom.

I hope you enjoyed getting to see where we live. Feel free to stop by if you're ever in the neighborhood!

ReplyDeleteSarah-
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting these pictures! My husband was just accepted into SGU's MPH/MD program and I've been scouring the internet trying to get a better idea of what we should expect when arriving. Your photos have been immensely helpful!
