Virtual Tour.

I cleverly took pictures of the new apartment BEFORE the movers arrived and filled it with boxes, before it was filled with anything, in fact, except sunlight and the scrumptious green dutch oven we received as a wedding present, which I opted to move myself out of a paranoid fear that the professional, licensed, bonded movers would manage to break it in two (it is cast iron, after all—the flimsiest of materials).

Here is what you see when you open the front door (there are notes in Flickr if you click through):

And here is my sweet, beloved kitchen, home of my heart, cocoon of my soul:
Kitchen

And again:
Dishwasher!

This is the main room, where we will have a couch and approximately 36,000 books:
Living room
The bedrooms look much the same as the living room above, only smaller. There is a sliding door between the two bedrooms—the larger one is where we will sleep, and the smaller we will use as an office and later an office/nursery, should the need arise.

And this is the clean, shiny bathroom:
Bathroom (sans squalor!)

I’ll be back tomorrow!
