At Long Long Last
Finally! Here is the apartment in all its glory.
There are still a few things waiting to be sold, but, you know, sometimes you just have to move forward. Much as I am doing now. Pretend you don’t notice the mini-TV and the two motorcycle helmets (the motorcycle? got sold four years ago. We are a bit slow).
I drew a not-really-to-scale floor plan of the apartment so you could see how it is laid out. I live to serve you.
Ready? Onward!
The giant bookcase in the entry way. This is what happens when a Comparative Lit major marries a History major who becomes a librarian and a book blogger. Look out for a book giveaway soon. . . .
The view from the front door. That television should be making its grand exit this morning. Cross your fingers.
The view from my desk chair to the entry way.
My mom sent us that dish rack. She is also fantastic.
Little shelf set in the kitchen, which is pretty much the most brilliant thing in the world and why didn’t we do this in our last kitchen?!
I love this sunlight. It is very lovely in the afternoon. Or, I’m guessing, for about ten minutes a day in the winter.
On to the living room:
We are selling the green chair so, eventually, it will be less crowded in there. I will miss that ottoman more than is healthy, though.
My closet. With mirrors on it.
The “office.” Where I am sitting at this very moment.
Another picture of the living room. Hi boxes.
And now to the bedroom:
This bed was my anniversary present. Pretty much the greatest day of my life.
All rejoice!
Bart’s wardrobe, plus the laundry bins and drying rack.
Wardrobe plus my closet in the background. Oh yes, I have two closets.
It was Bart’s anniversary present. He asked for it specifically. Only took four years for us to becoming old boring married people.
Wait. You get a BED and your husband gets a TRASH CAN?
I love it! And one day, hopefully, my books will look as lovely as yours!
love your bookshelves-your apt. looks so very clean!!
I love your bookshelf. So. Much. There are few things in life that I want more than a bookshelf like that. It is amazing.
Also, your anniversary bed looks incredible with that beautiful dappled light coming in from the window!
Ditto on the book shelf….with all the books! Don't give them away.
Love the wall of books. It is priceless, please don't give it away unless it is with the intention of filling it back up! ha. Beautiful apartment– makes me excited for mine!
Lovely lovely–although you know my favorite part is that bookshelf. I desperately need/want one of those SO BAD.
Glad you're finally feeling a little more settled.
I must join in with the chorus of coveters on the bookshelf. Want.
Also…dodgey Douglas! Friend or foe, I think shots of the building exterior is a taaaaad shady after the houseplan has been supplied alongside the highly-coveted possesions.
(P.S. Bart's neatness…or is it yours?…is highly pleasing to my soul)
beautiful! love your books, crooked blinds and white bed. 🙂
Can I just tell you how much I LOVE hardwood floors. And your white bed is lovely. I'm actually impressed you own as many books as you do–since you've claimed in the past to not like owning books (or something to that effect). Hooray for a new city and new apartment and new start! I'm so very excited for you guys!
Oh, Janssen, it looks beautiful! I'm so envious of your bookcase and book collection. If only I could get my husband to read more 🙂
I'm still swooning over your bookcase…and your multiple closets.
And I'm seriously looking at fares to Boston. You, me, NPW, Kelli…it'll be FAB!
xox
Your bed is so lovely! And white!
I sometimes wish I had a small place that would prevent clutter in corners.
I love your place. It reminds me of my apartment in New York. Oh how I miss the East Coast!
Brad and I are thinking about next summer–does that work for a visit? We also cannot stop randomly commenting about how much fun we had with you too.
I LOVE your place–especially the book shelves. It's my dream to have such bookshelf.
i want that trash can. 😉 cute apartment, we'll have to come visit! and i had no idea there was such a huge "book blogging" world out there! i need to read more…
Oh mackeral — that book shelf is incredible!!!
Looks like Boston is fun! 🙂
