3.5 years. 4 apartments.
May 2nd, 2007
Two weeks ago, I moved to the Carroll Gardens/Red Hook vicinity. I’m so cool. Check out some of my fave sights from the environs thus far:
Ha.
Ha!
YES!
I always do!
Welcome to the neighborhood, Annie!
Fine, a few pics from inside the “Apt.” (I posted these and more a few days ago by burying them in the archives. But that was bogus. Wait, you don’t care.)
The essentials.
Some backstory on that sad tomato, from an April 13 e-mail from Dee Barrett:
At T (Target), I purchased a ceramic tomato that I am almost certain Meghan said “we just HAVE to buy this for Annie” last time we were there together. The clearance tags were mounted one on top of the other, suggesting that this really is the tomato that nobody would ever buy. I’ll bet Annie would have purchased it at its original price ! However, always after a deal, the tomato is now ours for the very low sticker price of $2.47 !
Oh, D (Dee) !
The essentials (cont.)
Best desk ever. Note the pack of brownie bites sidling up to the PTP.
From living room into office. Jury’s still out on whether this room is called Office or Study. (Bordering-on-Tacky Lair of Sublime Creativity, Possibly, In The Future, If I Ever Get My Act Together… was too long.)
Kitchen, including the bane of my existence for 3.5 years: Three incredibly annoying “Lack” shelves from Ikea that are literally impossible to put in a wall. Milk crates, rug gripper, stand ‘em up on the floor? Sure!
Living room. Time to play Where’s The Cheeseburger Pillow?
First documented homemade Mexican Pizza featuring: Scallions! (4/30/07)
The End.

I love it!! It makes me want to come out and visit you. You’ve made it all your own. Great job!

I’m really thankful that the picture of me ironing at the kitchen table wearing my Old Navy boxers patterned with the reclining beach people didn’t make it to the screen.
The awful part is not the random pattern of the boxers; it’s the fact that because it was so hot, I had them rolled twice at the waist and tugged downward, revealing way too much for an older woman whose April abs are not yet (ever?!) beach-worthy.
And, Annie, those Lack shelves look FABulous !

I totally just moved into my 5th apartment since moving to the city in 2004, so I totally feel you on those maddening pieces of furniture that play different roles in each apartment. It’s so weird. I never want to move again, ever, I hate it.
Anyhow, I vote Office.

I just moved to but my place is not nearly as cute is that. Love all the wallpaper!

Deedle, at some point I need to take a pic of those boxers. Not on you — because I know you’d object. Just a pattern sample, because it really is the oddest thing. “Reclining beach people” only scratches the surface.
Riese, I thought you’d have liked the discarded title! Haha.
Tiff, it’s fabric — and Riese and Tiff — IT’S ALL FROM URBAN OUTFITTERS!
