Apartment Life

Welcome to apartment 20.  Our home base here in Cleveland.  The floors creak, the paint is two inches thick, and the stove might have been new when Ford was in the White House.  But there are no bugs, the window A/C unit works like a champ, we don't hear a single neighbor, and we have all the privacy you could ask for.

The hallway looking towards the front stairs. 
Our door is on the left, you can only see the little rug out front.

The whole building has beautiful wood floors and I think the original oak stairs in the front and back.  The owner has some wonderful art hung on every floor.

Living room

It would be nice to have a couch.  Then again we haven't been in the apartment long enough to actually miss not having one.

After our first trip to the store.

Yes that's a McDonald's bag.  It was the first (only) restaurant that we found when we got here.  And...you can buy 50 chicken nuggets for $10.  That's a lot of nuggets!

Our first dinner.  Leftover nuggets chicken noodle soup and tea.
We're living large up here.

Jeff and I feel like newly weds (which we are) in our first apartment (which it is).  Hand me down furniture, mis-matched dishes, I am loving all of it.

Why?

Well that's all the photos I've taken of our pied a terre.  It's cute and quirky what more could we want?  There's a pretty good storm going on right now.  The wind is really howling and the rain is coming down in sheets.  It's like being at home.  And like true Northwesteners we did not bring an umbrella with us.  I bought one in the bookstore at the hospital.  Within 5 minutes a huge gust of wind broke it.  Jeff spent a half hour trying to fix it when we got back home.  No luck.  Sigh.  It's suppose to rain the whole weekend.
