Ever since our daughter was born 23 years ago, her manner and personality have been hard to pin down. She loves going for drives in the country, but is equally at home cruising the streets of a major foreign city.She can make on boxers and point out in the kayaks, but loves to get dressed up and go to the ballet. She is capable to conform to her environment, and yet though she's not fond of change, she has learned to cover a home once she is there and have in all that it has to offer.
After graduating from college, she decided she cherished to be by herself and search the new city she calls home. But afterwards living on her own for the preceding year, she decided that having a roommate and moving to a different component of city would be a sound change for her. So a few weeks ago she packed up and headed to her new apartment. It's in a great location, within walking distance of great shops, wonderful restaurants, and everything a 20 something could want!
When she showed it to us I was astonished at what a 23 year old can get when it comes to housing these days. Of form it doesn't come cheaply when you experience in the DC metro area, but wow, just look at the hall of her building!
It's stylish, hip, and oh so chic.a far cry from any rate Mr. Tide and I ever rented when we were that age!
Of track the hours are long at her job, she has to move some, and well, working in the big city is invariably more stressful it seems, but she loves her new site and having somebody to come home and talking about her day with, or share a meal together.
These photos were all taken without the welfare of a tripod, which is important for good indoor low light shots, but it was so pretty I only had to parcel it, so I snapped away...
I reckon it might be fun designing common areas for various apartment buildings. You could try out all sorts of different styles and if you're anything like me, it would ease your inner design schizophrenia!
When I was little, I cherished a home where every way was done in a different style. An Asian inspired room, French, Modern, you mention it. I ever thinking that would be so much fun and then you wouldn't own to decide on only one style! I imagine Mr. Tide is happy I outgrew that notion!
By the sentence I got to my daughter's apartment after a day of working around shopping, it was getting dark. But I wanted to shew you a few things that she has done already with her wonderful new place. Like these cute British and French inspired prints she found at Target. She has spent a lot of metre in both England and France, and they go perfectly with the grim and white toile shower curtain she picked up!
The dark and clean theme, peppered with pops of red will help arouse her up each morning as she prepares to lead to her office!
In her bedchamber she has filled one wall with a compendium of frames and favorite photos. Some are of her with friends and family, while others are photos she has taken during her many travels.
All the pictures were interpreted by my daughter, except for the one above. It was a birthday present from us recently, and it is the really handsome George, taken by the gifted and sweet Kate of Chronicles of a Land Girl. Our daughter saw it ended at Kate's Etsy store and told me how often she loved it and I give to agree, it is a fantastic picture! I even picked up a wonderful yellow boat picture from Kate that I have yet to fall in my own home, it's so fairly that I am still searching for the perfect place to put it! And if Kate's pictures aren't beautiful enough, she is just as beautiful herself.she gifted me the image of George and sent me a gorgeous picture of a daisy too.thank you Kate!
Our girl is still deciding what kind of bed she wants.she had earlier thought about a platform bed, but she's hasn't made up her mind yet. She did find bedding she loved though, and it was on clearance from Pottery Barn.like father like daughter, she loves a serious bargain. She already had the pink floral shams and a matching quilt, but added the sharp white monogrammed duvet and shams for a variety of pace! The fall came from Ikea and adds a little funkiness to the room.
I tried to have some pictures of the living room, but with the evening light streaming through the french doors, (which run out to a large balcony) it simply wasn't going to happen without my bounce flash which I was too indolent to go get out of the car. I was capable to get these gorgeous autumn colored tulips that she picked up at the store though!
She really is my baby and loves having fresh flowers in her apartment whenever possible! These were simply beautiful and so perfect for this sentence of year!
And hold out this kitchen! It may not be huge, but it's certainly is decent for a rental apartment. It has absolute black granite counters, stainless steel appliances and opens up onto the living room.
The galley design is thick and efficient but there is enough of counter space. And the bi-fold doors leading to a great laundry room which has shelving for yet more storage.
Our daughter and her roommate each make their own bedrooms, both of which are en suite.which is so nice for two girls sharing an apartment. I consider the girls have through a heavy job already of making it base and infusing their own way into the place even though they've just been there for a few weeks.
I'm certain it will proceed to develop over time, just wish the both of them will. And with its perfect location, it actually is a dream home to be when you're 20 something and keep the life of a land girl transplanted in the big city! I can't expect to call often!
