Yesterday, we closed the door to 75 West Street and started upon the journey of creating a home in our new apartment on Long Island City. It still hasn’t registered with either of us that this is finally our home together to make our own. Even though we’ve been together for 5.5 years, we’ve never lived together nor have we never had roommates. Therefore, we’ve always had very set space limitations and always had to share with others. Last night, as we were unpacking boxes together after Bo’s 10 hour workday, we couldn’t stop smiling! This is not just another apartment for one of us. This is 715 square feet that is 
quickly becoming our first home. The walls are freshly painted in light greens and warm yellow
s. The bedroom is furniture is all together and arranged perfectly and we’ve even managed to layout our bedroom closet space so it’s shared 50/50. In addition, much to Bo’s excitement, we visited the Long Island City Best Buy last night to purchase a TV for our bedroom (LG 32″ flat screen). While we were there we found some great DVDs in the clearance bin (Rendition and Entrapment).
Okay, sorry about the gush but like I said- i’m excited! Today we’re venturing into the city with a long list of things to find and purchase: kitchen tupperware from Container Store, shower curtain, liner, towels, warm yellow sheets and a yellow throw pillow, one large 8*10 rug for the living room, sleeper sofa, chair, small kitchen table and 2 chairs, PUR water pitcher, bread knife, and we also have to pick up our bib from NYRR. As you can see from the pictures below, we have a lot of work and empty space to fill!
Before we head out, I’ll leave you with some fantastic giveaways!
Sounds super exciting!!!! Have fun!!!
This is why I keep pasta sauce and shirataki on hand at all times!
Great low cal, healthy and easy meal! YUM!
