Our New Apartment!

Welcome to our blog! We figured this would be the easiest way for family and friends to stay updated on our life in Dallas.

Our new address is:
3204 Thomas Ave #1808
Dallas, TX 75204

Here are some photos of our new home! We've spent our first two weeks settling in, painting, unpacking and finding out that the NJ DMV is way more streamlined than the system here in Texas (I know--I didn't believe it at first either.)

Here's our bedroom. We painted it "Blanched Thyme". Clearly there are still a lot of things we need to get, but the vaulted ceilings are great!
Here's our living room and the couch that was EXTREMELY frustrating to find! We painted the living room "Grey Frost"
This is the den/guest room. Notice the fish on the wall. Its scales are made out of beer caps. Kev made it since we've been in Dallas. His name is Marcus.

This is the dining area of our kitchen. We got a great deal on our table from World Market!

This is another view of our kitchen. It doesn't have a ton of storage space, but I love the slate floors and dark cabinets!
We have a patio you walk through to get to the front door. We've already got some tomatoes, basil, rosemary, cilantro, parsley and hops going!


Here's what our building looks like from the front.

  1. Hi Kevin & Brittany -
    Dad and I just checked out your new blog. And hey, we're over 50 and already knew what a blog was! We love the idea of you having a blog, and we plan to check it out often. Noticed the new futon cover (West Elm? - nice!) and we are in love with Marcus. Kevin, you have missed your calling as an artist! We have a beer cap table that you might want back (just kidding, Brittany). If Marcus has a "brother," he could live in our basement!! (hint hint)
    Love, Mom & Dad
