hasn't yet, so I'm just going to do it. Maybe he'll do another one later.On Friday we went up to Lewisburg to check out the new place and sign the paper, and get the keys. When my professor Don went to look at the place in November, his report back indicated that the apartment was very dark, cavernous, and smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke. He sent pictures as well, and from that report we almost didn't want the place. But it really was our only option. We never found anywhere else to even consider. So when we were talking to the land lord we told him we were interested but very concerned about the smell. So he checked out the place, agreed with us, and replaced all the carpet, and painted the entire apartment.
Upon entering the apartment, the only thing we could smell was new paint and fresh carpet, not a hint of smoke. They painted over all of the dark wood paneling that was on the walls, in a nice white, so everything is very bright and nice. Even the carpet is re
ally nice. And it is much bigger than we thought it would be. The picture is me in the living room. We have so much space! We definitely don't have enough stuff to fill it, but it's okay. If George were writing this, he'd go on and on about the attic, but maybe I'll save that post for him. Moral of the story is that our place is great, so come visit!

We haven't seen it all yet, but it is very much unlike any place I have ever lived and it is definitely going to take some adjusting to.
We went back to Falls Church on Saturday because our stuff isn't due to arrive until Wednesday so no unpacking or nesting for me yet. But soon! And then you all can come visit! We have an address, but I don't want to post it on the internets so I'm going to send it out to most people soon, but if you want it now, or if for some reason I don't get the e-mail to you, then please let me know and I"ll e-mail it to you.
Thanks for all the comments everyone! Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year! and happy new place!! Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteIs there lots of snow there?? Its snowing AGAIN in seattle and i want to shoot someone.
Oh I'm so glad there was a picture of one of the windows.. that will help with the curtain project! I see you have baseboard heaters, too.. definitely need to make sure the curtain doesn't go down that far.
