The New Pad

Near exhaustion and completely frustrated, the bf and I went up to Seattle this past weekend to finally settle on a place. We had been looking and touring apartments for months but nothing had really grabbed us. It was either we were giving up location for a nice apartment or giving up a nice apartment for location, a compromise neither of us were willing to make. With a day full of appointments set up for Sunday, we ended up leasing the very first place we saw - it was just that good. 

Unfortunately, in our hurry to sign some paper work to ensure the place was ours, we forgot to take any pictures. So alas, dear readers, you'll have to bear with me as I post a few pictures from the ad.  Just be patient, more photos with my decorating won't be far off!

The apartment is absolutely huge for a one bedroom, an oxymoron by definition, but it really is. It has too much closet space (California walk-in closets!), a kitchen outfitted with all Bosch appliances, wide plank cherry floors, and an amazing view. We can't wait to wake up there in a few weeks and see the Space Needle from bed. The amazingness doesn't stop there, the place also has a powder room for guests and comes with a parking space and storage locker for all my bf's tools and my Christmas decorations. And of course, the building just happens to have a large park area for Frank. Somebody pinch me.

Can you guys tell I'm excited? Be prepared to be overloaded with decorating progress posts the next few months!
