I GUESS THIS SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING
I’ve spent four nights in my new apartment, and sometimes it feels like the last place I lived in never even existed. My tower in the West End was far too much like a college dorm and less like a home that I felt comfortable in. It seems likely that I’ll be in this new place for a few years, but had you asked me six months ago where I’d be today, this apartment would’ve been the furthest thing off my radar.
I finished unpacking the last of the boxes this afternoon, put a lot in storage and tried to organize it as simplistically as I can. This place needs a few more touches like some fresh flowers, more books, another plant and some storage baskets for my wall unit, but I’ll get there. In the meantime, here’s a quick look…
I love your place, your bed’s little room is so cute, what a good idea!
I love that shleving unit – have it in white. The place looks great – like home already.
But are all Vancouver apartments so small? Srsly, mine is just as tiny.
aw that’s a really nice place. i just got an apartment too, but for next year and i’m soooo excited.
It looks FANTASTIC, Hon! 😀
It looks amazing!! I can’t wait to see it in real life!!
Super gorgeous apartment!!
Very nice. I envy you your efficiency. Any move i’ve ever made invariably involved months of painting, floor refinishing, and boxes still unpacked a year down the line, and you did this in a week. I need to reevaluate my system. That’s a great shower curtain.
love your place. where did you get your shower curtain? i must have it!
I can’t remember who makes the shower curtain but I got it at a specialty bed-and-bath shop.
Everything looks perfect, congratulations !!!!
Washer and dryer…sigh, I’m so jealous. Going to the basement and doing laundry at my building kills me.
Nice place!
Love it! Your place looks so cute and cozy. It is absolutly adorable!
You are amazingly efficient! I don’t know anyone that can move in to a new place and look so settled so soon! That shower curtain is AMAZING. If it’s fabric I hope you invested the $2.00 in a shower curtain liner so it looks just as beautiful a year from now. Your new furniture is so nice & simple. Love it!
P.s.Your lucky bamboo is insane!
@Amber – I actually invested $15 in a fabric liner because it’s better for the environment (rather than chucking plastic) and therefore can be re-washed over and over again.
It’s awesome!!! So much light, and I love your crisp, clean decor! And a washer/dryer in your own place!!!!! I would so love that!!!
Excellent. A liner of some sort is a must with a shower curtain that pretty!
so nice
Keira, you’ve done a wonderful job decorating your new place! I’m jealous of your little balcony, I don’t have one of those! Maybe we’ll run into each other in the elevator sometime. =)
Wow, suddenly I feel as if my apartment isn’t so great anymore, hahaha. Good job.
*sigh*…
in suite laundry…
@John Bollwitt – Yes, in-suite laundry and getting a dog were two of my definite non-negotiables.
I’d buy you a fresh bouquet of flowers if I was in Van. Love the whole clean look. xo
wow. a literal bed room
