I share this apartment with my boyfriend, but he's gone on tour quite a bit, leaving me with a lot of time to spread my junk all over the place. We still need so much furniture, but finding it for cheap around here, especially without a car, is an endless frustration! Our place is long and narrow, and the two middle rooms have no windows, which drives me crazy and means I focus most of my attention on the bedroom which is at the front of the building and catches glorious sunsets. I'm determined that some day I'm going to live in a place with a window in every room and a back yard (or at least a little patio or something). Is that really too much to ask??
(I had to ask about that amazing moon! Siri said that "It actually is meant to go on the wall and, get this, it lights up and has various different settings to imitate the actual cycles of the moon!")
Thanks, Siri!
wow, what an amazing space! i think i would feel inspired 24/7 if i lived there.
ReplyDeletevery cool! i've been reading her blog for a while as well. i dig her apartment, as i imagined i would :D
ReplyDeletelove that sketch in the bottom photo and am jealous of the cherry blossom polaroid :)
ReplyDeleteoh anabela i love these posts, so glad you are doing this!
ReplyDelete& siri, wow i love your place!
The grey owl teapot is adorable/hilarious. I have salt & pepper shakers from the same line in brown--if any Philly readers are out there, I picked them up at a kitchen supply store near Rittenhouse. Can't remember the name, although I always pass it on my way back from work (argh).
ReplyDeleteGreat series, Anabela! It sounds like you'd rather take the pictures yourself, which makes sense, but it is interesting to see what parts of their homes people offer up for viewing. Idle thought: does it say more about the things they love living with, or about what they feel fits best on your blog? Either way, nice work, everyone :)
Eep, thanks everyone (and Anabela!!) I'm really sorry I didn't include captions like the other ladies, my bad! If there's anything at all you want to know about any of the photos, just ask and I'll reply in the comments :n )
ReplyDeletei love these posts too. must break out our projector!
ReplyDeleteWow, she's got the cutest home! This makes me want to makeover my entire room!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful home!!

Things I love about this
ReplyDelete1/ Its organised chaos. Makes my organised chaos feel better.
2./ pains of being pure at heart
3/ carpet
4/ rought trade photo booth.
AMAZING this has made me immediately want to read this blog... and be friends with the people who live here. xx
Dianne: you're absolutely right, "controlled chaos" is kinda my motto haha! I actually made a point of not tidying up too terribly much before I took these, since I wanted it to be a fairly accurate representation of how we live day to day. Sometimes it's cleaner, but honestly, sometimes it's A LOT messier heh.
ReplyDelete1/ Collectible late-period Knight School playlist,
ReplyDelete2/ Kurt already looks like an anime character,
3/ Architectural molding in Greenpoint is the best,
4/ Projector looks farrrrr too comfortable.
best "where i live" post in world's history.
ReplyDeleteSiri: it's cool, I didn't give you any instruction! I sometimes think that captions get in the way anyhow!
ReplyDeleteAmelish: I'm not sure. I didn't give them any instruction on what to photograph, hoping that they would take the pictures as freely and easily as they wanted. I said they could visit a friend (as I do) if they wanted, though. I like to think that there is a nice amount of variety represented!
ReplyDeletethat moon is fantastic! james would really like that haha..
ReplyDeleteit is the worst when there is a lack of windows! ..but she's done a great job of dealing with that. what a great space!
Love this place! Also love how it is a tad messy, like my place!
