home...

So Andrew and I have purchased a new toy. A toy that will allow us to document our lives and be able to look back and remember what we looked like and maybe capture a little bit how our lives felt. When I tell stories that start with "when I first moved to New York..." now I'll have some proof! That's right, ya'll. We are big kids now. No more disposable, 5 mega-pixels, blurry, unfocused junk! We bought ourselves a real live camera!

I wanted to give everyone who hasn't seen our apartment a little view of what we've been working with. We've lived there a whole year now, and it's really quite a great place. We've made it our own and feel really happy about our little home. Plus, Andrew will kill me if I come up with any more projects or bring home any more paint swatches. So this is it!

This is part of our kitchen. Lots of coffee brewing, wine drinking, and cooking have happened in this room. We're so lucky to have such a big kitchen. I wish you could all come and let me cook for you.

This table was in my mom's first apartment. I love it. Also, some of Andrew's prints on the wall. 

My world... I need to spend more time in this little nook.

And this is Andrew's space. We split our little 'office' right in half!

Our room is great. When we moved in, the walls were a really bright, sunny yellow. We thought we liked it, but as you can see, the walls are now a dark grey-blue. Very cozy and sleepy.

How lucky are we to have a tree right outside our bedroom window? I love seeing the leaves. It makes everything in the apartment so colorful.

I'm sure there are a million things wrong with this photo, but I just really love it. The view out of our kitchen window...

This one too...

Another window shot, this one in our little bathroom. I just love the light and how the fabric looks. 

Of course, Trinny is a permanent fixture in the living room. The couch always looks just like this. She really has a way of making herself comfortable. 

Now hopefully you have a somewhat clearer idea of how things are going for me. I feel lucky seeing these photos. Trust me when I say I've seen some pretty scary living situations in this city! 

Come back soon... I promise there will be something to see!
