new apartment!

Woah, been awhile since I was here. July was pretty crazy - but, hooray! A new apartment has been found in Brooklyn (Williamsburg). It rocks.

The problem with moving in is that I want to paint/renovate/furnish everything now but that's just a little impossible. This is not helped by the fact that in preparation to move I scoured designsponge/apartment therapy/ikea literally every 20 minutes to get new ideas and decide what kind of style I'm attuned to the most. I have set a fairly strict budget for initial costs to spruce up my bedroom and the patio (hell, yes).

For posterity and I'm putting up before pictures of what it looks like now. Stay tuned foraftershots once I do everything I want; for now, at least...

Before (aka...right now.)

My bedroom, from the doorway. The window looks out to the patio.

Patio! This is looking from the top right corner of it, then from by the fence looking into the windows (window on the right is mine). I've got big plans for this!
