The Lord was good to us when we stumbled across this apartment listing. It's in the perfect location. It's the perfect size. It has everything we need. The landlord and his wife couldn't be sweeter. I thought I'd share some pictures of the interior, so you can see where we are living this summer.
The kitchen.
The cabinet on the left is actually the fridge. It's quite small. No wonder you have to grocery shop every 2-3 days!
Our view from the kitchen window.
Looking down the hall (I'm standing in the living room), the door on the left is the kitchen and obviously the bathroom is straight ahead. We have a tub with a detachable shower head and a washing machine in there!
The living room is cozy and has three windows across the back, filling the room with the most gorgeous light.
There is a little desk for studying and Ethan is making good use of it.
A view from the living room.
It was quite rainy the day I took these pictures, so it's a little hazy, but we can see one of the church spires from the living room window.
This is the little entry way (just to the left of where I was standing to take the living room photos). There is a coat rack, a full size mirror, and drawers to hold our stuff like maps and reusable grocery bags.
The bedroom. I like how they do bedding here. You get your own small mattress (so there are 2 on this bed) and your own set of covers. It is comfortable and simple.
Another view of the bedroom, the closet.
Our view from the window by the closet is just this tree. Our landlord told us it was one of the oldest trees in the city. Not sure how old that makes it, but it's pretty!
This is the view looking down from the other window in the bedroom. We are surrounded by residential buildings and there is a parking lot in the middle.
There are no screens on the windows. In the above pictures you can see that the windows are cracked from the top. If you turn the handle a quarter turn, then you can open the window all the way up because they are double hinged. It's really nice, actually, because you can control how much circulation you want in your place. We usually just crack them, which has been completely sufficient.
We had a suspicion from emails that our landlord is a believer and when we walked into the apartment, we saw this frame by the door. 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8
A nice reminder each time we leave the apartment!
