The new apartment

We have space now! I just realized I didn't take a picture of the fireplace but I don't have time to take one and upload it right now because today is pretty busy. This entire week is going to be incredibly busy. So here are some pics of the new apartment. Let's call these the "before" pictures.

The master bedroom (love the king sized bed!):



The door to the balcony off the master bedroom (this balcony is also off of the second bedroom):



The guest bedroom. It is quite spacious. It currently has two twin beds in it but we are replacing them with a double bed. We just have to figure out how to dispose of two twin beds ...



This is the view right when you walk in the front door. The master bedroom is immediately on your left (you can't see the door), with the guest bedroom next on the left. The bathroom is on the right. Our awesome kitchen table and chairs are straight ahead. I plan to replace those chairs before anything else.



And here is the kitchen. It's pretty small but plenty big for the two of us. And it's huge compared to our closet kitchen in our studio apartment.





A view from the kitchen over into the living room. The fireplace is where the bit of bricks are sticking out of the wall on the right hand side. Yes that is a dryer in the bottom right corner. We plan to get rid of that but have to figure out how to sell it or dispose of it. We don't want or need a dryer in our living/dining room!



More living room:



I love all of the huge windows there are here. The apartment gets amazing light all day long. The bedrooms and kitchen face East, which I prefer because I'm a morning person. Here's the side balcony, which is bigger than the one off of the bedrooms. It has an ugly table and chairs on it that we plan to get rid of and replace. Or maybe store in the basement in case we need emergency chairs and a table for a dinner party.



We have kind of a foresty area behind the apartment, as you can see off the side of the balcony above. But we're surrounded by other buildings on the other 3 sides of our building. But there's still a lot of grassy areas here and it's much more wooded and green than our downtown apartment was. Just behind our apartment is a forest with trails through it that you can walk/run/hike/bike on. I haven't gone exploring in it yet but maybe I'll get in there this weekend if it's not raining.

Oh and the bathroom! Double vanities! Yay!
