Our Brand New Digs: "The View From Up Here" Edition

Just a few pictures I took from our windows this week. Despite living in a big city, it feels positively peaceful up in here. There is a stillness that's hard to explain. Even with streetcars passing by and the lights of Honest Ed's flashing (they turn off at 11:00 pm on the dot, for those of you who are wondering), I sometimes feel like I'm at a little cottage somewhere up north, not at a bustling intersection downtown.


More after the jump.

Our Brand New Digs: The Before Edition

We did it! Rebekah and I found a new apartment that met *almost* all of our must haves: lots of light, great location, claw-foot tub, wood floors, lots of beautiful details like glass doorknobs, rad-covers and an amazing built in kitchen pantry, big kitchen and, most importantly, a place where we have pretty much free run -- pets and painting, here we come! There is also a really good vibe (despite the lock on the OUTSIDE of one of the rooms -- there is nothing good about that).

The one item on our wish list we don't have is outdoor space but we do have a brand new gas stove. That's what parks are for anyway!

Here are our before pictures (after the jump):
