Apartment Evolution Part 2
Our apartment consists mainly of 3 rooms. It’s a railroad style, where all the rooms are connected by doorways, minus the doors. The kitchen isn’t really a room, more of an… offshoot of the main room when you first walk in. The bathroom is really really small and also off of the main room. There is a small office with a closet off of the bedroom (which I really love). All in all, it’s a great apartment. Especially if you don’t have too much stuff. It was great when I first moved in and was living alone, though I had no furniture and it was still fine when Andrew first moved in. But in the past year, we’ve really started to outgrow the place.
The main room usually has the most stuff going on mainly because it’s the first room you walk into, the kitchen is off of it, as well as the bathroom. It also is our Workspace which really takes up most of the room. When I first moved in it looked like this:
As you can see, the whole apartment is a bit askew. It’s much like being in a fun house at times with the sloping floors and acute or obtuse angles. One of the first things I did when I moved in was set up my work area. This area has had three different configurations starting with this.
This was my temporary set-up until I could get a REAL table (instead of plywood on stools.) Until Andrew moved in, it was a little difficult to buy furniture because
The first table we got (with the green edges) was from a friend who wanted to get rid of it. The table we use now (the long one) Andrew and I made it out of an old door and some piping. It’s a million times better, but we still need more space. The table was as big as we could make it for our space.
This is the most recent picture of it, in the middle of a messy work frenzy!

This was my temporary set-up until I could get a REAL table (instead of plywood on stools.) Until Andrew moved in, it was a little difficult to buy furniture because
1.) I didn’t have the muscle power to carry furniture up my stairs
2.) things are a lot easier to transport home when you have a car and
3.) I spent all my money on rent!
I had lots of ideas and little resources. However, after Andrew moved in the work area got a lot better. Here are different variations on how things were set-up.

I’ll post more details of the room soon!
