studious monday...

today is a day dedicated to sitting inside and getting things done. surprisingly i've been doing this with very little procrastination involved... until now. the day began with a two hour lecture which i spent doing my best to contain a cough that has worsened since yesterday and NOT sniffing my nose every 30 seconds. glad to be home for a while so i can cough and not bother anyone but diesel but now i'm getting distracted and thought i'd take a break to share some peaks of the apartment with you. I won't be showing the rest of it off until i have done all of the finishing touches, but these will definitely give you a good idea!

This is my bathroom door. The little man and lady with one arm and the heart were there from the previous tenants, and a couple of my favourite people so i thought i'd leave them up there in memory. the wall decal was from my best friend as housewarming gift and it couldn't be better!

this is my little monster. he's maturing with age but sometimes i think i should have named him lucifer instead of diesel. he does a pretty good job of keeping me company, though. 

this is sort of a funny angle at the beautiful kitchen island my dad made especially for this apartment and the kitchen counter that is there. I don't have a regular sized fridge but i have two small bar fridges. One of them you can see here - the other is cleverly tucked away into the island! so perfect!

here is the back-side of my island. It has this large drawer, a shelf under that and the the spot for the fridge. The drawers are actually made from the boxes that wine is boxed in when it is shipped overseas. serious character.

here is a view of the front of one of the boxes, the wine, the year and 12B being (i'm guessing - the number of bottles in the box?)

I had a friend up to see the place a couple of days ago who recognized this box immediately. not a huge wine drinker myself but it was cool to have someone else know what it was!

just a little pic of a bit of my window looking south-east down george st.

this is looking out the very bottom of one of the windows, across the street. the buildings are beautiful but also filled with other apartments. at night I can see right into these windows and vise versa for them I'm sure. The blinds will be closing that's for sure!

This is a picture basically from where my tv will sit, across the front of the apartment. that's my little bed nook and the rocker that was in my room when i was a baby.... i guess it's appropriate that i still have it! lol
