Photoblog today, since Greta and daughter-bird and I are probably out cruising the Pacific Coast in the ‘vertible, top down, sun on our foreheads (which are covered in SPF 40, I swear).
I HAVE A NEW KEY!
That unlocks my new apartment. The only problem with being this damn spontaneous is that I’m basically going to be paying two rents from the 13th to the end of this month. Erg. That’s money right out of my Stitches Fund. And my Going East tour! Oy.
But it’ll be worth it, baybee. Lookit.
Looking from my new door out toward the street.
Check. It’s yel-LOW! Good thing I adore yellow. Picture some red and blue thrown in there?
My landlord in the kitchen, taking my hefty deposit check. Goodbye, cashmere. Hello, room for a Real Table!
View from the bedroom window:
Those are sweater shelves, you know.
Part of Digit’s new playland (the garage belongs to the house next door).
And my new playland, the backyard! All mine (rubbing my hands together…..):
Now, enjoy your day! And we’ll tell you about ours later…..
Fabulous! And I love G’s post about you being THERE on the platform in all your Rachaelness. Oh for that wee-hour photo! Insread I ahve to picture y’all cruising the PCH while I’m stuck here at my desk ~ at least it’s sunny outside! Have BIG fun~
Can feel you hop skippty jumping around your back garden already. Colour, of course there must be colour but this comes from a woman who has not even got one white ceiling in her cottage let alone a wall :0)
I can feel the love too as you gals have fun together, of course the sun will shine , the birds will sing and three huge smiles will map their way round town.
Ah but so the yarn stash may not grow quite as quickly and there may be less cake on your trip but oh such magic to have a home for dinner parties and views from bedroom, worth a moment of cashmere – oh goodness did I just swear :0)
too weird.my living room paint looks exactly the same..and i also have the same kinda wood.I have a blue ikea couch some white shelving ect. from ikea and it looks great!if i do say so myself lol.yellow is a happy colour to go with your happy life!!!
Love the new digs! 😀
The floors in the living room of the new place are gorgeous! How much do you love hard wood floors!
Have the best time with Greta and daughter bird. I hope it is fabulous!
The wood floors look nice. And look at the size of that apartment kitchen. Sweet! I’ve had those exact same kitchen cupboards in my last two apartments. Flip the handles on the fridge though. Looking forward to seeing those shelves filled with sweaters. Yay, disjointed, rambling comment!!
The vengeful side of me just wants to know, how did your current landlord react when you told him that, since he was being such a poophead, you were moving out?
Lovely new space! We’ll all enjoy vicariously “moving” with you!
I am frightfully jealous!!!! Gone are the days where I moved somewhere and it was MYYYY space. (But heck, love the kids and hubby to death so I guess I can stand it..) Love the yellow, such a cheery color even on the dreary days, and the spotless kitchen 🙂 Oh you are going to have such fun decorating and settling in!!
ooooh that apartment looks fabulous!
congrats on the great new place. It looks absolutely wonderful.
Oh, hon, it looks so great! And about your backyard, I just have two words: vegetable garden. Lord, I miss mine. Or, or, wait! Do the thing that the Fab Five guys did with that one patio, with a hammock and table and twinkly lights…you can plant catnip, too, Digit would like that.
But most importantly, you’re still going to be able to come out east, right? RIGHT?
Your new place is so cute! Woo hoo, a yard! I know how cool that is! Have FUN with it, and I’m jealous you get to hang with a fellow netknitter – have a great time. 🙂 Lisa in Oregon
That place is bee-yoo-tee-ful!! I’m so glad that a bad thing turned into such a good thing. I hope it doesn’t take you long to settle in. Somehow you strike me as the type to bloom wherever you’re planted 🙂
FABULOUS!!! Woohooo! Congrats, lady.
(And hell yes, you’d still better be able to come out east!)
oooh! ahhhh! ohhhhhh! It is loverly. I am SO happy for you! You deserve all that yellow walled,warm wood floor and backyard splendor.
Your new place looks just fantastic!
You won’t miss the boys upstairs one little bit.
Adorable! It looks like a great apartment.
And I am mucho jealous of your permission to paint. I’m SO sick of white walls with brown carpet…
Oh, sweetie, it’s gorgeous. I’m SO glad!
Next time I’m there, can I come have coffee at the kitchen table?
Wonderful-looking new place; won’t Digit and Adah and you love having that backyard!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Rachael, that appartment is just beautiful! It’s worth every penny of double rent! Congrats!
Rachael, the apartment looks beautiful. The kitchen is huge! I hope you and Greta and daughter-bird are having a fabulous time. Stinks about the double rent bit…but the new living space will all be worth it.
Your new place will be a ‘gas’ when you get finished with it. Space, a backyard where all of us aliens can land at night and have great parties. Have a ball, girl, in your new home.
