settling

Moving. Oh moving. What an…ordeal? Perhaps that’s not the right word, especially seeing as it went particularly smoothly thanks to a few amazing people. Nonetheless, I’ve been technically moved in to my place for two weeks as of today & it’s only finally coming together now. I don’t have very much stuff, certainly not enough to fill a one bedroom apartment, but my studio is packed to the rafters it seems. & I still have a couple of things at my old place (although one is the chair to my desk & the other is a tiny bookshelf).

I’ve been playing with different set up for my apartment. I’m sure it will continue to change over the next few months until I get it all figured out. The hardest part seems to be my bed & chair. 

The day after moving in. Not much has changed in this corner of the room aside from it being more organized.

Configuration One.

The way I’d originally had it set up is slightly awkward for my bedside table (which doesn’t quite fit on the wall beside my bed & sticks out a bit) and my dresser (which sits awkwardly at the foot of my bed.) Basically the set up is awkward all around. Especially since my bed is then up against the wall so if anyone stays with me, they have to climb over me to go to bed – I won’t be forfeiting MY side of the bed…. Sorry.

Configuration Two.

The latest confuguration looks a lot nicer, but makes for an awkward set up for my coffee table (Yes, I know it’s awkward that my coffee table is just sitting there on it’s own to begin with…I’m not sure what to really do with it.) & in some ways makes things feel smaller.

Basically, I’m almost totally unpacked & moved, but I’m still figuring out the logistics of this apartment of mine.

My tiny little kitchen.

Now if only I had an extra foot all around, all of my apartment problems would be solved. I guess I can’t complain too much however, I do have A/C & in 42c, not a whole lot else matters…
