My Place

Here's my new place. It's a little drab at the moment, but after a few paychecks, it should brighten up.


The whole right side of the hallway is closet space and my fridge and freezer.


View from my huge windows!


Other view from my huge windows.


Bathroom


Tiny cute kitchen...and home to my washing machine.


View from the kitchen-notice the retro yellow couch :)


View of the living/bedroom area...Its a perfect space for yoga and pilates. :)


The bed is supposed to be upstairs, but its hot up there, so right now its empty. Its the perfect place for twinkle lights in December though!

My apartment is very close to a 24 hour supermarket, department stores, movie theater, HomePlus, a subway station, and the bus station. All of the sidewalks are lined with trees and there's also a river and canal nearby with trails. My school is a 15 minute walk, and is very easy to get to.

That's all for now...maybe this weekend I'll have the energy to write about my first day here and how the rest of the week goes.

Hope you enjoyed the first photos!

  5. Rae - I LOVE reading all about your experience! And the apartment is fantastic! It looks so.... I don't know - chic' I guess. Like something I'd see on a TLC show - waiting to be decorated by some design star! (o:

    Love you! - Aunt Hollie
