Do grownups live here?



I freely admit that these are emphatically not the best pictures I've ever taken. But, they do convey the general idea of the look of the place, even though they give you no idea of the space. Actually, it's only pictures of two rooms; I didn't take any of the kitchen, guest room, or our bedroom. Those will come later, when they are tidy.

The view from the front door-- 2/3 of the living room. Sadly, the fireplace isn't functional.

But as you can see, we've hidden the couch in a pleasant little nook created by the bookshelf.

Go further in and you can see the front door and closet on the left, and the entrance into the dining room on the right. The two pictures hanging by the lamp are illustrations from the Canterbury Tales, given to us as a wedding gift.


The view into the dining room and the rest of the apartment from the living room. The doors at the end of the hall are to the two bedrooms. To the right of the dining room are the pantry/workroom and kitchen.

Walk into the dining room and this is the view on your left. We actually rotated this table around after I took this picture, so now it goes horizontally. It looks much better that way.


And this is the view to your right--more books, more artwork, another clock, and the door into the pantry.

So there you have it--the two main rooms of our home. I am in love with it.

Your apartment is delightful!

No TV? Although I'm not surprised, what do you do when you get a random craving for a good classic movie (like, you know, Arsenic and Old Lace)?

We actually do have a TV, but it's in the bedroom because during the summer the bedroom was the only room with A/C and a comfortable place to sit.
