Finally Some Apartment Pictures

It's another Thursday, and so another free day. I've already cleaned and whatnot, so now I get to finally upload some pictures. Later I'll mail some long-delayed letters and paperwork and head to the local libraries and a little used bookstore to look for Dune. I may add another post for those adventures if they prove noteworthy. Our tour will begin outside...

Here's the building.
the door inside


Up the stairs...
It's my door, Apt. 6.
As we enter, the first room is the kitchen.
Here's my awesome fridge.
The dining table with a slowly dying
Margot.
A sliding door leads to the
sunny balcony.



But first we stop to see my
little makeshift terrarium of
new plant friends.

My hammock gets to be loved again!
Here's all but one of my full-
grown, not-dying plant friends.
From this balcony you can also
see some chairs on pavers
arranged like an awkward sea
turtle without back legs.
If you turn right coming
through the front door, you
see the living room.
A better view of said living room.
This is an extremely comfy sofa. You can't
see it in the picture, but above the sofa
are some pictures of artifacts and ruins.
End table #1 houses Nigel, the
armadillo, the little squishy pig
thing, and some other friends.
End table #2 has some writing
utensils, a lamp, and my
favorite of my sculptures.
The center table is decked
out in cribbage, coasters, and
a happy-smelling candle.
Across from the sofa is Elaine, my
circle chair, and the leasee's huge TV.
Off of the living room is the shady
balcony. It just has a chair.
As you can see, it was rather windy
this morning.
Past the living room is my bedroom.
Storage area with rapier stuff, music
stuff, art stuff, books, and miscellany.
The bedside table has earrings, another
happy-smelling candle, and various
other things.
As usual, my clothes are
arranged chromatically.
Yoda watches over Harold,
Millie Mae Maude, and I as
we sleep.
The creepery mirror and shelf used to
hang on the wall, but they fell. I still
need to fix the mirror frame.
The last room is the bathroom. It's not
very exciting. The shower is out of the
picture.
The nicely organized sink doesn't stay
nicely organized for long.

That's it. I didn't post every single detail of the interior, as that would have been a little tedious, but this is a pretty thorough overview of my summer dwelling. I'm loving living on my own. After these months, I'm not going to be looking forward to going back to the dorms. I'm excited about eventually having my own place long-term. There are so many thing I'd love to do that just aren't practical right now, like more extensive decorating and growing my own herbs and vegetables. I guess I'll just have to wait another year or two. With as quickly as college is flying by, that won't be long at all.
