As I recently announced, Melissa and I are moving into a new apartment. We picked up the keys today and I snapped a few pictures after we moved a couple of boxes in.
Here's a view of the living room. The whole place has hardwood floors, white walls, and nicely maintained dark wood trim. The living room has a fireplace that, for now, is purely decorative. The landlord said he'll consider having the chimney serviced, but wouldn't commit to it in writing. That's fine, I think it's cool we'll have a mantle to display photos.

To the right of the fireplace, is the sun room. It's a nice little room that we'll use as a mini-arts studio.

Here's a look from the living room into the dining room. Notice the nice built-in hutch in the dining room. To the right of it is a door to the butler's panty and the kitchen. To the left of the hutch (not visible) is a doorway to the hallway with access to the bedrooms and bath.

Here's another look at the dining room:

Here's a view from the corner of the kitchen. We've got a nice new stove and a great picture window over the sink and counter. And yes, that is a dishwasher below. :)

Finally, here's our small bathroom. It's a little smaller than my current place, but I think it's in better condition.

I love the place! When's the party? I'll bring the pasta!
I love the beautiful floors and the chandelier (light) and I wish you the best of everything.
Love and stuff,
Aunt Sally
