Our Italiano Casa! (Inside)

I've only lived in a total of (2) houses in my entire lifetime. One from the day I came home from the hospital until I was 13 1/2 years old, and the other until I was 23 1/2 years old. I loved both of my homes so very much. My husband is pretty much the same as me. He grew up in a total of 3(ish) houses. One until he was 9 years old, and then his parents moved, purchased a large lot of land, built two homes, and lived in one for a few years, then lived in the other for a few more. He did however move out of his parents home and live in what I called a "bachelor pad" until he was 22(ish) then moved back to his parents before leaving for Basic Training.
Italian homes in my opinion are...just a little, well, different. There's nothing really wrong with them (well besides having absolutely NO whats-so-ever built in closets.) This is our FIRST ever home living on our own, together I might add. We really can't completely judge...especially since the military is paying our rent each month!
Here is a mini tour of what our house looked like when we first moved in...after FMO (let us borrow things like a fridge, microwave, bed, etc.) Hope you enjoy!
NOTE: There will be an update once all our furniture comes from TMO!!

Our FIRST night in our home...it was so cold!


The entrance to our home...there's Juba!
Kitchen off to the right...it's apparently one of the larger accommodations here!
Our stove...it's propane which I've never used before. Professional chefs use this type, so it shouldn't be so bad!
Looking out the kitchen window (there's two)...such a lovely view

Our simple little fridge...yes, I've already started "girly-ing" it up as Toph puts it!


The living room off to the left (where we slept for a while until we decided to move into the master room)

Past the living room on the left side is a small hallway (bathroom is on the right, and straight is the master bedroom)

Our bathroom! The biggest I've ever had!

Mirror above sink (which I love the cabinet!) There's me!

Nice BIG sink!

I think it's called a....bade? (bah-day)

This is used by women here to "clean themselves" after going number 1...uh, yeah I'm not doing that. This thing is just going to be used as storage!

The shower...definitely not digging the shower head for the fact it likes to face down...definitely gotta be flexible!

Now onto the master bedroom (a "catch-all" at the moment for all our clothes and such)

Going to the other hallway on the right side (there's Juba again!)

This is going to be my office/cat room...but as you can see it's Juba's room for the time being

She wanted to give you the tour of her room herself!

Looking out Juba's window at the backyard...see, it really is BIG!

This is the hubby's office. He hasn't moved in here all the way yet, but it will be the "ultimate gaming room" as he puts it

Interesting light switches...because they're on the outside of each of the rooms...something to get used to

An Italian plug...so strange comparing to what we're used to
