Theo and I have our own place on the very northern edge of Chicago now. We're literally half a block from being in Evanston. It felt like the boonies at first, but I've gotten used to it. That I can walk to work now is rather helpful.
The new apartment has its quirks, of course. Hot water only truly happens in the shower. The kitchen light doesn't work (my fault!). The cat has gotten herself into the chimney twice now, and we're not even supposed to have a damned chimney.
It's also a very pretty apartment, I admit. Very large, lots of open space. There's a full pantry, which is possibly my favorite space in the house.
Here's our mantle and fireplace. It's in the south, which is pretty neat.
So here's the rest of the main room, still disheveled from the move. In the first picture you can see all the way to the back door, through the study and the kitchen!
I promise that more pictures of the space will appear, but only as my photography ends up improving. Here's a little bit of a fun craft project, though.
I had to figure something out to do with the lids to our pots, since I can't stand having them in some random cabinet, and I also can't afford the counterspace to use one of those ridiculous lid racks. So I did this. It hangs below my wonderful spice shelves.
That's really everything I have. Here's a picture of our heinously evil cat to end.
Ooooo, evil!
