new apartment… what what?!?

so it’s official! i have moved into my new place! pictures will come soon, but just so you know it’s fabulous. i have yet to decorate anything. and the apt doesn’t even look like this anymore, because i also was able to get all of my stuff out of storage!

first off what you need to know about this place is that it is in the brooklyn neighborhood of lefferts gardens. this neighborhood is mostly caribbean and was once a super exclusive neighborhood so it has tons of adorable single-family homes. otherwise my building is in a great location, with two grocery stores within blocks, several laundromats as well, and is super quiet (a plus in nyc). the building is pretty big with two wings of apartments. there are four apartments per floor in my wing. i of course had to move to the top floor… :(. i’ve met two of my three neighbors, and they are both very nice.

my apartment is just amazing. who knew that such an apartment existed in my budget! i have a pretty large one-bedroom for peanuts. here’s the floorplan that created as soon as i had the keys!

 
the bad thing about having such large of an apartment is that i have no furniture. you can see my piddly amount of furniture in the newer photos. it’s really sort of sad. but i will soon fill it with lots of lovely pieces. and will try to update you as i go. such a fun yet stressful task! in another post i will update with certain ideas i already have.
