New Apartment
I am moved in.
When I say moved in, I mean moved in. I am 100% unpacked and it looks like I've lived here for a year. There are no boxes. Pictures have been hung. Everything is mostly organized.
Dad arrived at about 1:00 on Sunday. We went to lunch, then realized we were missing the game, so we went to a sports bar to catch the Bears' defeat. :( After that, we did about two hours of packing - that's all that was left. I guess my packing schedule worked out okay after all. It seemed like this horrible insurmountable task but really? Not so much. It was okay.
Monday started early. We took a load of kitchen stuff over ourselves and then the movers came over an hour early. It was wonderful. It only took them about four hours to get all my stuff loaded up and unloaded at the new place. Everyone here was amazing. Totally helpful and wonderful. The maintenance guys kept us in the newspaper recycling bags and continually cleared the hall of cardboard boxes. The movers didn't leave until they were sure all of the furniture was in the right place. It went flawlessly.
On Monday night, I hurt everywhere. By Tuesday at about 3:30, we were done.
So, some pictures!
This is around where the table will be. :>

Place looks awesome! Looks like the floorplan is really working out!
All I could think with the taped out rectangle was that someone had murdered a rectangle from Flatland which lead me down the path of a Flatland detective noir story.
It really does look awesome. I agree though -- looks like someone murdered a rectangle! Or maybe just someone with a really square personality.
It looks FABULOUS! I can tell that the floorplan really helped you get re-organized right away. I'm glad your Dad was able to come help you move! You guys did a great job. (I'm glad it went smoothly, too.)
I think you need a piece of art behind your bed. :)
I do. It will be black and white and architectural. I just haven't decided what yet. Something like this picture of the Brooklyn bridge
Wow! It looks great!
