Apartment tour!

Last week we hosted a small dinner party for some of Dan's classmates, which was just the motivation I needed to get those last few boxes unpacked (or shoved in closets), pictures hung, and shelves de-cluttered. Thankfully, I remembered to snap a few pictures while it was all still clean & shiny. So here it is, at long last -- our Cambridge apartment tour! Click on images for hidden notes & random info :) (everything looks very yellow/orange in these pictures. granted, most of the walls are painted yellow or orange (what they call "provencal"), but it doesn't feel so yellow/orange living in it as it does looking at it). Anyway. Onward


hallway to the kitchen. we have a hallway! with built-in bookshelves! so grown-up :)


a close-up of those built-ins (which I spent hours arranging and rearranging, using every HGTV design trick in the book)


my favorite room in the apartment ~ the kitchen (seen before here)


right off the kitchen is the guest bedroom/Dan's study nook (his desk is tucked back in the corner)


our bedroom, which we still need to work on making more cozy/pretty


our cozy living room ~ terrible lighting, my apologies


more built-ins and HGTV stylings, located in the living room adjacent to the couch


my "studio" (aka the art nook) which sits right behind the couch in the living room area ~ not so easy to keep this area clean


a close-up of my art desk, in all it's cluttered glory

And that's all folks! Thanks for joining me :)
