Hello lovelies! I hope you are all doing well!
Today is a super crappy day in the NJ- feels like fall which I am NOT liking. I don't know why everyone is so excited for cold cooler weather. Summer is my favorite- I detest being cold! But anyway, I thought I would finally show you a peek at my new apartment, even though when I took these pics it was empty. I have been busy filling it up and making it feel like home though, and once all that's taken care of I may just share it again! I really love the hardwood floors, all the closets, and how spacious it is- these pics don't do it justice!
 |
| Kitchen- love the fact that I have a dishwasher! And all that cabinet space! And yes my laptop is on my kitchen counter because I didn't have a table yet! Of course the only thing set up is my coffee maker- and fresh flowers from Momma Dukes. Oh yeah, and an empty wine rack- gotta have a party to fill that bad boy up! |
 |
| New stove, and some *free* bar towels I picked up from Freecycle- love that site! |
 |
| Full view of kitchen, with a back door that leads to a little wooden deck! (Forgot to include pics of that, just use your imagination- it's small and cute and perfect for two chairs and a little table) |
 |
| View of living room from kitchen. Got a TV from a friend, but again no sturdy table! Also loving all the windows and light that the place gets! There's no central air, but the ceiling fan (in kitchen) and double air conditions work perfectly! Plus like I said, I don't like being cold! |
 |
| View of living room from by the windows. Bookcase from a friend, which bag of "stuff" next to it. One door is a closet, the other is the front door. |
 |
| Small hallway, with 2 closets! |
 |
| Bathroom. It's got yellow tiles which i didn't love at first, but I accented with a gray bathmat and towels- it's coming together! |
 |
| So much counter space! It felt too empty, so I added my perfumes |
 |
| Linen closet |
 |
| Other hallway closet |
 |
| Bedroom closet Number 1- love the double bars! (Hard to see, my bad) |
 |
| Bedroom closet Number 2! They're so big! |
 |
| The bedroom, view from doorway (I have a bed now, this was the "before") |
 |
| View of bedroom from the other corner |
 |
| My freezer- yes, all I had was some frozen veggies and Ben and Jerry's. I've added some frozen pizza :) |
 |
| My fridge with just the necessities- milk, cheeses, water, salad dressing? (I don't eat salad, not sure why I have that), and some spare ribs leftovers that a friend made me! (I have since gone grocery shopping, but this was all there was for almost a week!) |
So there you have it! It's not much, but it's all mine! The neighborhood is really nice too, I'm in the suburbs in NJ, and it's a quiet area but walking distance to groceries and stores. I also have a close friend in the neighborhood, which I greatly appreciated when I ran out of sugar on Saturday morning! And only 20 minutes from work! I have been cleaning like mad so I can put all my stuff in nice, clean closets/cabinets and then start decorating! There's still a lot to do and add, but I think it's coming along pretty well. Exciting times!
Have you moved recently? Do you have any decorating tips for me?
Wow! What spacious rooms!! And the dishwasher is awesome. I appreciate my dishwasher so much more after not having one for 3 years. Dishwashers are the bomb.com
ReplyDeleteMy only decorating tip would be to add pictures, which I'm sure you will once you are settled! Always make a place feel more like home =)
I love your new place!
That is SOOOO spacious!!!! And where are you now??? If you're 20 mins from work I think it means you are closer to me?!?!?! ***crossing my fingers so we can hang out****
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! Congrats! So spacious and the floors are pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks really spacious! Not at all like what I've heard about apts in the north east! Can't wait to see how it looks when it's all finished :)
ReplyDeletevery very spacious! Awesome closet space. ps, is that shredded mexican blend shoprite cheese? its my FAV.
ReplyDeleteIt's so SPACIOUS. And I am crazy jealous of that bathroom counter.
ReplyDeletewow! it's so cute. and you do have lots of storage space, which is super nice. i think adding grey to the yellow bathroom is perfect. i love that color combo! and i'm the exact same way when it comes to my feelings about fall/winter..yep i hate it. i loooovvveee the summertime and wish it felt this wonderful all year around. when i'm cold i'm miserable which is why i keep my a/c at a good 79 degrees lol
ReplyDeleteanyways, i love it and can't wait to see more pics. :)
I love those floors! I'm totally jealous of the double bars in your closets! I want and need those!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to email me your new address.
Ok, where the hell are you living because that looks like half a house! I love my large living room and good sized bedroom but I'd kill to have a dishwasher again.. and bathroom/kitchen counter space...and a small deck. Congrats! It's going to look awesome!
