I’ve been talking about my move but haven’t really shown you a peek at my apartment, yet! You still aren’t getting much of a view with these pictures, save for the brick wall and the same vintage, shutter style dresser I’ve had since I moved to New York (thanks, mom!). I promise that once things are set up a little more, I’ll do a little photo tour of the apartment. I’m pretty thrilled with the space; there are exposed brick walls in every room and I actually have space for my clothing! I stayed in my little, run down apartment for much longer than I wanted to in order to save up for a place I loved. When I first moved to Brooklyn, I didn’t even have a closet and my room was the bigger one in the apartment, at 8×9 feet. I then moved to a place that had a couple of small closets but was actually a step down from my first place, only it was in a better neighborhood. Now, I am finally in a place that I can comfortably call a home. I love the apartment and the neighborhood (I’m still in Park Slope). It makes such a huge difference to actually like where I’m living. It only took five years!
