i've finally gotten all settled here at my new apartment at duke, and this time i promise to stay here more than six months (since four years ago i've been moving an average of once every six months...)
after all the times i've moved, i've finally gotten a handle of how to properly interior decorate my place... i'll first start of with my kitchen - the kitchen is an open kitchen, which originally looked over a big open space. so i decided to add a kitchen island (from ikea), surrounded by three comfy stools (from target). add a picture in front of the sink and voila~ a nice cozy kitchen warmly lit by a row of overhead track lights.
the next major room in my apartment is, of course, the bedroom, which i wanted to keep simple and free of any distractions, like my computer which i would normally have put in, which freed up a lot of room. so i bought a queen size malm bed (which, by the way, kay decided to copy), hung up a few pictures, and lit the place brightly with a 100 W overhead light and a 50-100-150W lamp. my apartment faces east, so every morning i have the sun shine on my face, unlike my old bedroom, which didn't have a window to the outside at all.
so where's my desk, you ask? since my living room is pretty large, i decided to put my desk next to the wall opposite of what is soon-to-be-delivered hdtv... now if only shu would hurry up and decide on a plant to put next to the futon for me...
once my tv comes in, i'll snap a picture of the other side... last, but certainly not least, is the bathroom. it actually has two doors that lead into - one from the bedroom, and one from the kitchen/front-entrance area, giving the entire apartment a really open feeling. the tiling on the floor is the similar to the stained stone tiling in the kitchen, which gets warm fairly quickly from the track lighting.
well, that's it for now~ i'll snap a pic of the new samsung TV i get once it gets here, and a shot of the double-door window in the living room -- it's pretty sweet!
