Our Apartment Tour

View of living room from kitchen
Dan and I have made a big change.  We've moved from a 200 year old,  4 bedroom, 3 story home to a brand new apartment that is about 720 square feet.

Right now it still feels very spacious, and that is because none of our furniture, clothing, or art has arrived.  It's really beautiful, and there is loads of potential. I daydream about where the couch will go, and where I will hang some of our favourite paintings and photographs.  Right now it is still a bare canvas, and that is okay for now.

Everything is brand new.  The fridge doesn't leak,  the ceiling in the shower is at a normal height and we don't have to crouch, all of our windows have screens and the tap handles at the kitchen sink are all intact.  We loved our old place with all of its quirks, but we're certainly enjoying the novelty of things that work.


The kitchen.  We have a dishwasher!   "I'm never washing another dish IN MY LIFE" -Dan

There are lots of great things about this place.  The apartments and townhomes were all built to LEED Silver certification.  That means that it was constructed and furnished with high effeciency in mind.  We won't have to put shrink plastic on the windows this winter!

Our location is exceptional.  We're close to downtown, the YMCA,  a nature reserve, and a CarShare operation.

We welcome guests and visitors to our humble abode!  But maybe wait a week or so before you come visit, and then we won't have to fight over the one chair. 

In a few weeks, look forward to a better tour when we're properly moved in.  I'll have my camera back, and the pictures will show it off much better than cell phone pictures.
