I've been getting a
ton of emails recently, saying things like, "Eric, I love catching up with Christine you, but I want to get to know the
real you," or, "When do we get to see where you live?" or "I want to stay in your apartment for a free trip to Manhattan!" Slow down, everyone, we had to get our apartment ready to show you, and "free trip?" Ha! We'll see about that!
Christine and I will now take you through a detailed, fun and exciting tour through what we both venture to call "our apartment." Also, this post relies heavily on the pictures, so if you can't see the pictures in your email, click
here.
C: Hey everybody! We're so excited to take you through our apartment!!
E: Yay!
C: Look how cute our door is!!!! We didn't even do this, or anything! We saw it when we came to the open house, and just knew this was our new home!
E: yay!
E: Right away you can see our cuter-than-life kitchen. This is where we do things like: cook, store food, refridgerate and freeze certain items, bake, and get glasses of water. Most other "normal" activities like watching TV and sleeping are done in other rooms of the apartment.
C: *rolls eyes* Oh, Eric. I just love the pot rack and the yellow paint that we (I) decided on. It really gives it a homey feeling, and brightens the room up. Yay Le Creuset!
E: This is the "Bathroom." 'Nuff Said.
C: Our first main room area is a quasi-kitchen, library, desk area, and dance floor mixture. Normal nights are spent eating dinner on our kitchen table, but you better believe that on Friday nights I'm out in the middle of this floor breaking it down while Eric flickers the light on and off like a strobe light with the bass pumping through the air.
E: ....and then we go to our
second main room, or as we like to call it, "Room Awesome." The only thing of note in Room Awesome is the
totally sweet and rad-tacular HD tv, perfect for sports and
24 watching. Moving on to the...
C: You forgot to mention the cute couch, rug, and audamin! Not to mention the paint color and curtains! We got such great deals on all of these, from the couch to the new pillow cases. Oh, and we need to talk about getting cable soon - Project Runway has started.
E: Sorry. Project Runway is on at the same time as The Office. I'm not skipping hilarity for fashion. Done.
C: Er-IC! We will be watching Project Runway. Actually, it's on after The Office, so we can watch both!
E: *silence*
C: And how about this cuuuuuuuuute bedroom?!? Just look at this bedspread, it's so cute, I can't even stand it! The color was my pick again, and I like how the light blue cleanses the palette after a tough day, and can brighten up your morning on a lazy Sunday! Oh yeah, look at these super cute hooks I got from Anthropologie! Aren't they just adorable?! And my cute jewelery box! And this cute....
E: *cuts off* If I had a nickle for every time we moved the bed around in this room, I'd have 15 cents (3 times moving x 5 cents each time = 15 cents).
C: *still talking in background*
E: I mean, it's a bedroom. We sleep here, sometimes read, sometimes watch tv. It's dece, I guess, but nothing to dwell upon. Now that TV out there....
C: ....and this great little closet right here! So, that's the master bedroom! Onwards to the guest bedroom!!
E: The guest bedroom is much like one would imagine it to be. A bed with a dresser and a closet. As you can see, this is where my stuff is stored.
C: *glancing around room* Oh, Eric, we need to clean up that guitar, fix the dust ruffle, actually wash that bedspread, and dust off that shelf finally......
E: So that's our apartment. It's pretty darn sweet if you ask me. What I didn't say earlier is that it's right in between two phenomenal parks - Central Park and Riverside Park. We're right by a subway stop and within a block of the grocery, laundry, and the local watering hole. We hope you've enjoyed this wonderful tour, and now if you'll excuse me, I've got some 'cleaning' to do...
