Living the new life.... and loving it!

I'm finally settled in my new apartment!  Most of the boxes are gone; I have lots of organizing to do still.  My horn studio got set up first, then the kitchen..... you can tell where my priorities lie!  I LOVE my new apartment.  Literally everything about it is exactly what I was looking for.  I thought I'd show some pictures of the kitchen.  Look back at one of my earliest posts about my kitchen in Mexico to compare. 
I would like to point out these AWESOME facts about my kitchen:

1. I have a dishwasher.  Never in my life have I had a dishwasher.  I even had to ask my friend how to operate it. 

2. I have a microwave. 

3. My freezer makes its' own ice.  How cool is that?!??  I didn't know a fridge/freezer could do that when it doesn't have the water/ice in the door. 

4. I have a double sink.  YAY. (although, with the dishwasher, I'll probably be using the sinks less....)

5. While my kitchen is still the galley-style, I do have much more storage and countertop space.  It feels very big to me.

6. I love the little bar area above the sink.  It opens up into the living room area.
