Ashlea welcomes you to our humble home! Apartment #309, as you can see, though you can't see in the picture that the frame surrounding the peephole is a little off-kilter. Behind her is the main room, a large bank of windows, and a whole buncha crap. The white mattress to the right is where the futon will go, as soon as we get a decent frame.
Said main room, a little bit clearer. Hooray for already-installed air-conditioning units! We're going to put a table and chairs under that light fixture, and hopefully a painting by
The kitchen area, taken standing about where the a/c was in the previous picture. Gas range, lots of cabinet space, dishwasher, very swank. You can see atop the Ikea shelving unit our little wax Mantorok, the Sheep Who Stank, Destroyer of Worlds and Wearer of Scarves. He smells like linen.
The main room again, taken from the same place as the previous picture, only rotated slightly to the right. Ashlea indicates where the bedroom and bathroom are located, while her father supervises. Note the box labeled 'Books'. We would have had better luck marking the ones that were not books.
The master (and only) bedroom, with our computers happily chugging away. What you can't see, against the opposite wall, is a medium-sized closet with two sliding mirror doors. Note also second large bank of windows and air-conditioning unit. And it's carpeted!
And the bathroom! I took a shower last night, and am pleased to report: water pressure? not a problem! I really like the glass shower enclosure, too.
As you can see, we have a fair amount of room! ...Though it'll be less once we get everything out of boxes, but what can you do? Since most of our stuff has been in storage in a dank basement for 6-12 months, I've been Febreezing things within an inch of their lives, and it seems to help.
When we come back, we'll do a big load of laundry, but for now, we'd better pack up and head to Texas!
