Home Sweet Apartment…

Eventually we unloaded the truck and then the decorating could begin. And for those of you who know me (and my mother) this is my favorite part.

The apartment is actually bigger than we expected. However, with radiators and AC units our layouts were somewhat limited.

Here’s our bedroom:

The bathroom is off to the right. Notice the chairs, they’re new. Also look up and to the right. Doesn’t that TV stand look perfect? It should be on the list of the seven engineering marvels of the world. We have metals studs in our apartment. They wouldn’t come close to supporting the weight of the TV. So we hired an engineer from Nebraska to come in and asses the situation.



Here’s the guestroom:

That’s right we have a guestroom. So just give us a little warning and if you’re ever out in New York….look us up. We need the warning to cool down the room. There isn’t any AC. Chances are if you do make it out here your picture is located somewhere in this room.

Here’s the main bathroom:

The reason I’m including the bathroom is to tell you about our shower curtain. Not the one you can see, but the one behind it. We unpacked the shower curtain the first day we moved in. We desperately needed a shower. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the shower curtain rings. We ended up using packing tape to hold up the shower curtain for over a week. Oh, we went and bought shower curtain rings but then we promptly lost them. And we still haven’t found the rings we packed. It’s probably in the same box as my hair dryer and straight iron. Have you seen it?

Here’s our office:

The Frank Sinatra poster was a wedding gift from my Aunt and Uncle. The bulletin board and dry erase board are our attempts at staying organized. The bookshelves will soon be overloaded by impressive looking law books.

Here’s our living room and dining room:

Notice all the wedding pictures. We kind of went a little overboard.

Here’s our kitchen:

It’s a little smaller than what we are use to. As you can see, it has spilled a little into our dining room. We just have way too much kitchen stuff. In fact, we are only about an hour away from the Culinary Institute of America. If the whole law school thing doesn’t work out we might be heading there.

Also note the amazing wine decanter.

So that’s our apartment. Hopefully some of you will stop by. After the trauma of moving we will be here for quite some time.
