Looking into where I live (with photos)

I’m always thrilled to see where bloggers live and so this entry is devoted to my own surroundings. I live in an apartment just outside the city. Usually when I think of apartment living I think of an entirely boring setting with no creativity and all beige interior. My apartment (thanks to the searching of my roommate, Sara) does not fit this model. When Sara moved in she bragged that she was moving into a palace. I thought she might be exaggerating a little but over time have come to view the place with great pride. I’m moving at the end of August (‘tis sad, but true) and so thought this entry would also serve as documentation.

What I love most about my apartment is the balcony. Here is a view of the balcony corner and a view of the party lights at night. The bright party lights and wooden rocking chairs look fitting together. We have a bird-feeder we try to refill as often as possible that feeds every bird in the city. Due to this volume of birds I often feel as if I'm living next to a bird sanctuary.

This is the one spot in the apartment in which wireless is free and one can happily surf the Internet for hours. The cushion was found at Urban Outfitters and re-sewn to fit the window. The window seat is also an excellent spot for reading and enjoying a cup of hot tea.

I don't have a recent photo of the fireplace but this is the fireplace last Fall and this is photographic proof the fireplace is used.

For now, this is the end of the tour. To explore other people's homes visit the flickr group Corners of my Home, where others have shared their favorite living spots.
