On my lunch I decided to take some pictures of the place and post them for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind the place is a huge mess and I have lowered the quality of the pictures since I don’t think anyone needs to see a hi-res version of our bathroom or messy kitchen. All of these are thumbnails so click for bigger versions of all photos.

I found it’s amazingly hard to take pictures of this kind of space. I tried to get some hallway shots, to give an idea of layout, but those pictures turned out to be a total waste of time and not helpful.

When you walk into our front door you have the option to go straight into the office or take a right and head towards the bathroom and bedroom. Let’s start our tour there…

The first image is of our bathroom, nothing special here, but all of the mirrors, including one behind the door have storage. Next is a view of our bedroom. Notice how all of our furniture is in the room and there is that big empty space in the middle of the room? That’s rare. Most bedrooms would have given us tight aisles between all of our furniture if we tried to fit all of those pieces in. There’s a walk in closet in the bedroom next to the entry door. We are happy that our bedroom window isn’t on the street, it should help cut down on siren noise.

The hallway leading to the bedroom has two closets and the hallway leading to the office has one closet. They are all big closets with hanging poles and two shelves above.

Next onto the office…

We are going to get a movable screen to close this room off if we want, as my desk has been known to be as messy as it is in this picture! My desk is on the left, Matt’s is on the opposite wall of mine, you can see it on the left hand side of the picture on the right. One wall will be lined with printers/scanners/etc. The other wall has our cabinets which will be full of games and books.

Onto the Kitchen, which is on the other side of the wall from my desk…

The right side has the stove/microwave and the fridge. The left side is the sink/dishwasher and some good counter space. The kitchen table will go under the pass through in the living area. This is the thorn in my side. There isn’t enough room for all of our stuff. The cabinets over the sink side of the kitchen are already full of dishes. Alright, enough of that, that’s a project for the weekend…

Now onto the living area…

The first photo shows the space, it’s basically just a big rectangle. The dining area will be in the lower right hand corner of this picture. The TV with a new entertainment wall to live in will go along the left hand side, closer to the window than the TV is right now. The couch will go along the right side of the room with the chair about where the pappasan is right now.The full size bed and other items are stacked up in the corner so that they are out of the way while we unpack and we have boxes of books to unpack on the other side of the wall, so this room will be pretty unfinished until we actually get the new furniture.

And then finally our view. The theater across the street and the Neil Simon Theater one building over, that sign is how it looks if you look out our window and look directly to the right. Hairspray is playing there right now.

Well, I think two big long posts are enough for one day and my lunch hour is definitely over.

Enjoy!

(ps The Ellington is the name of our building…)
