The New Apartment

So last we left our intrepid heros, aka Soo and myself, we had just arrived at my new place.

We couldn't see much of the outside area since it was dark by that time, but we managed to use the codes given to me to get inside, and that is what mattered. And yes, I did say codes! My building has absolutely no keys for the doors. There is a code to get into the front door, then each apartment has an electronic keypad door lock. I had always thought about how awesome it would be to have one of those instead of having to lug around keys everywhere, but the code on my door is 8 digits long and... I'll admit, I'm having some trouble remembering it and have to look at the email sent to me every time I want to get in. But have no fear! I'm sure I'll have it memorized.... one day.

Then viola! I opened the door and was greeted with an amazing new apartment! It is a little smaller than my last one, but bigger than my first. It has nice wooden floors that can be heated in the winter, a ceiling to floor wardrobe with a ton of space inside, plus two desks and a vanity desk. I think the girl who lived here before me was very much into making sure she looked her best.

What I'd really like to do is get a bookcase and get rid of the glass desk or the vanity, but since the furniture came with the apartment, I don't know if that is possible, But luckily, I do have some great storage space (kind of).

I have a very large wash room with a nice dryer, a window outside, and a nice wire storage shelving unit. I figure I can put the vanity in there if worse comes to worse, but we will see how things go.

The bed is also nice-ish. It could use a mattress pad, but it has a pillow AND a little bit of space under the bed for storage, which is nice. And if I can't get rid of one of vanity, there is the perfect amount of space for a bookcase at the foot of the bed.

And then the bathroom! Oh, the bathroom... it's nice guys. I have a little medicine cabinet, a huge mirror, and the shower? 2, count them TWO, shower heads... ONE OF WHICH IS A WATERFALL SHOWER HEAD!!! I have always, always, ALWAYS loved those and wanted one in my apartment. And now? I have one! I need to buy another corner shower shelf thingie, but besides that, the bathroom is basically perfect.

The one biggest let down is the kitchen. It's nice because I have a full sized fridge, but the set up kinda stinks because my front door is RIGHT in the middle of things. And I've got a tiny, TINY space for prep between the stove and the sink. But the sink is big and the stove has 3 burners, so I can't really complain too much.

And there you have it! My apartment, pre-unpacking, pre-decorations, pre-everything. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will post an update with decorations, new things, etc. so... stay tuned I guess?
