And now, since all of our worldly possessions have finally found a home in our new place AND since our apartment is clean, here is the photo tour I promised you all:
Totally cute. It reminds me of those "small space solutions," I guess since you seem to have used the space efficiently and everything seems to have a home. Do you have any storage space, like an outdoor closet or anything?
Wow--that's a cute little place, precisely what I'd envision for a chic little NY pad. You must know, you put me to shame--you moved after me and you're already moved in and the whole place looks spiffy. I'm impressed.
Kristen - I love that painting, too. It's a classic.
Sarah - I know! It's awesome, fire escape and all! It's also still so incredibly surreal.
Amyjane - No, no outside storage. All we've got is an entryway closet, a hall closet, and two tiny closets in one of the bedrooms, all of which are pretty poorly designed. Which is why we've had to get creative, and which is also why we got rid of a ton of stuff before we moved (as well as why I'm anxious to continue getting rid of stuff).
Desmama - No need to feel shamed. Blake and I just can't stand having boxes around, so we've spent a lot of time doing nothing but unpacking them. Also, see above about how we got rid of a ton of stuff before we left Indiana. That certainly helped. :)
Lindsay, I admire your movedin-ness. I think you're more unpacked than I am still! Also, we have the same nightstands! I just got it from IKEA and I like it. I love that line.
I love the wood floors - as Garrett starts moving around, those will for sure be a lot of fun. One crazy night on the mission another sister and I discovered that you can "swim" across the floor in fleecy pajamas . . . in case you and Blake ever feel like playing "Jaws" or something.
Your apartment looks perfect - I love the bookshelves in Garrett's room, filled with those rainbow-backed books I loved as a kid. And way to go having pictures up already - I've been in my house over 2 years and still only have a clock and one hanging thing on the wall. Go you!
Jenny - You definitely have great taste in nightstands! :)
Kristeee - Hmm...swimming on hardwood floors. Hadn't considered that one. But winter's right around the corner - maybe once we pull out the fleece pjs we'll have to try it out.
Lee - You get what you can afford, I guess. You're more than welcome to send us a [free] HP our way any day! :)
Hi Lindsay, I'm a friend of Celia's and since we will be moving to NY soon she said you might have some pointers. What's your laundry situation like? Also, have you been to your ward yet? Do you like it? We are a little overwhelmed with this whole thing and I think we are gonna have to give up some of our "wants".
Welcome home! I love the huge wall-length windows (esp in the kitchen). It seems to have very good natural light throughout. This, for me, forgives all faults - even your poor, sweet little bathroom. It does try so hard to be all grown up, doesn't it!
Well, you started with a nice apartment, but you really did a nice job decorating and arranging everything. Good for you. Lots of luck and happiness there!

Way cute. Thanks for the tour. And I am totally impressed that you are already moved in and organized.
btw--I have that same picture of George Washington; it's my favorite.
It looks like the real deal. I REAL NY APARTMENT! Can you feel my excitement for you? Because I'm stoked.

I see you have a Dell computer...tsk, tsk, tsk.

What a cute *little* apartment! It looks about the size of our house. Don't you just love little houses for little families? What an adventure!

Oh, I love your wood floors! They look so great! A mixed blessing with a baby, though. Easy clean up, more head bruises... :/
What a great place!! You've made it look so homey!!

I love your apartment!
It looks cozy, but clean. I love it! I can't wait to come see it!
Frank and I love your new apt! I'm glad you three are all settled there in big NY. We're still getting there... :)
