I'm all moved in! Mom, dad and Todd came up midday yesterday to help me settle in and to buy me some starter groceries. I can't begin to express how grateful I am to the three of them. I probably wasn't the easiest person to get along with yesterday; when I get stressed and/or tired I tend to get snippy. They dealt with me like champs, though, and we managed to get everything into the apartment before dark. I stayed up most of the night getting everything into its proper place (because I just can't leave clutter unorganized) and today I went out for a few more starter items.






Living room






Dining room/office space



Bathroom



Bedroom



It's still a work in progress, obviously. I would like to fill up the negative space on the living room and bedroom walls, but will have to wait until my first paycheck to buy anything else. I've got an idea to frame the covers of old Penguin Classics and hang them about the apartment, but all of the used bookstores I checked out today were closed. That will likely be an ongoing project.

No class tomorrow because of the holiday, but I will be spending the majority of the day coming up with my first week of lesson plans. For now, though? A nap. I think it's well deserved.

Very nice!! My husband was the same way...you'd hardly know he moved in that same day by the state of the apartment at night! It was like we had lived there for a while because everything was put up and there were pictures up, too. I LOVE your idea of framing Penguin classics covers!!

Your new digs look so nice and cozy.

Do you have access to a printer? You could print the covers and put them on a piece of foamboard and frame them that way (or print out anything else you like).

There's also chalkboards or dry-erase boards, which are handy for writing notes to yourself - or cork boards for pinning things too. =)

Bet it's nice to have somewhere to come home to where the glasses aren't wrapped in plastic. Lovin' the Penguin idea.

I have been very bad about going on LJ lately but thankfully came on yesterday and saw this post of yours! I love your apt and furniture so much that I saved this post just to reference it later. Beautiful!
