Before I get into it I wanted to say happy October! I love this month and I will love it even more in the years to come because my sister is having a baby this month! Also yesterday was her 31st birthday-happy birthday again sister-I love you!

Yesterday I took a look back at our old apartment and today I’m sharing some sneak peeks of our new place. Once we’re settled in I will share again but this will do for now. We started our move last Wednesday and in preparation for the move I made a full meal to feed our helpers once we were done. We decided not to rent a truck and take advantage of the generous help that was offered to us. I felt really lucky to have so many friends offer after just over a year of living here.

Our layout is this. We are renting the back half of a duplex that shares a living room and kitchen wall. We have 2 bedrooms (can I say studio/guestroom?!), a backyard (all to ourselves) which is surrounded by a community garden and has a swing in it, we have a garage (not for parking but for fun things like beer making and setting up my summer studio), we also have a sweet mirrored wall in the living room-which I thought was weird at first but I actually really like.

A few of them are a bit grainy because I only knew where my iphone was when we were moving. I promise when I share proper photos of the place I’ll use my actual camera. There is a sneak peek. It’s been almost a week in the new place and I’m starting to really appreciate it. I knew I would because transitions are hard for me but I can feel myself coming over the hump and it’s good.
