Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

From my place to yours...

Apartment- again

I forgot a wall- and an important one. My dad has a relatively recent love of photography and has taken hundreds of beautiful pictures of flowers and learned how to edit them. Since I have a giant wall, I decided to fill it with some of his photos. My dad and Louise came up to help me string and hang them and here they are:


I love being able to display my dad's love of color and beauty. Seeing this everyday makes me smile.

#2 The Apartment

Ok, I have long since promised to post pictures of my apartment. The problem is that I would always tell myself that there was more that I was planning to do and I should wait until it was perfect. Well, I have finally given up any remaining hope that it will get perfect. There are, in fact, lots of things I still hope to do, like get more plants and a non-tippy coat rack. But here it is:

The living room and trusty rust colored couch. The chair on the right was my grandmother's and has been in storage waiting for me.

There are french doors and Louise helped me make curtains that were more opaque to separate the living room from bedroom. Next to the bookshelf is the spot for the future coat rack.

Love the stove. Love it.

And the bedroom. Lots of windows, and shutters! Haven't had those in an apartment before.

So, there it is. I hope to have another post before I close up shop so stay tuned.
