New Apartment

Okay okay, the time has come.

Pictures of my place! I dont really have anything witty to say. I am still exhausted after my religious experience (see below), much like the way you are tired the entire day after you get a massage.

I LOVE it. It makes me happy everytime I come home. Its small, but new. Charming, light and in the perfect location. I adore my roommate, who is also 22 and a recent graduate. We are on different schedules, so a lot of the time its like living alone. I've been cooking, cleaning, assembling furnature, painting and a myriad of other grown up things. I can walk to work. I cant tell you what a huge deal that is.

Anyway, on to the pictures:



This is my room. That is my BLUE wall and my bed and my TWO windows (I know this may not seem like that big of a deal, but trust me- having a window is not the norm in New York). You cant see it, but to the side of me is my rather large closet, that fits everything I need. Its small, but really cozy. I never feel like the walls are closing in on me. I plan on putting a big painting in the middle of the wall. The fleur de lis will need to move, but that was the only place there was a nail already there.



This is my shelf, and I just wanted to show it because Im still repping NOLA- beads (natch) and my beloved piggy bank that I got as a pledge in AKPsi. Never leave home without them.




Our "breakfast nook" that I LOVE. I love this table, I love that its right by the window, love the height. Just love love love. This is my favorite place in the apartment.




this is the rest of our kitchen. Pretty standard. Mini-fridge, which I thought I would HATE but I actually sort of like it. I never over-buy. I just stop by the grocery store on the walk home and buy what I need for a meal. Its awesome. Lots of wine, obv.




Our bathroom. If you dont live in NY or have never seen a NY apartment, you probably cant appreciate how awesome this is. But you can STAND in it and its NEW and its a shower with a DOOR. Its awesome. These are my standards.

In summation? I love my apartment, I love my life, love living in the city and love the way things are going so far.
