Moving is a hassle. Being in Vancouver it was, of course, pouring as I piled my things for the taxi to come get me and my life which I had packed away in cardboard boxes and suitcases. I got to my new place though and everything was okay. I was in love with the place. Internet still has not been set up so the opportunity to show my parents in Singapore where I live now isn’t possible. Instead of waiting till internet magically falls into our laps I wanted to make my apartment available for my parents to see and so I can show my new home off a little. Might as well eh?
If you click on the pictures it will show you panoramic photos of each room in exception to my roommate Izzy’s room because that’s her space to share in her own time. They are 360 angle photos and have been taken at my favorite time to be in the cozy new place, late at night when the night is asleep and I have a cup of chai in my hand and music in my head.
Living Room
We have decided not to buy a couch like a typical apartment, but instead we encourage people to spread out on the carpet. Let it all hang out and be a kid again when lying wherever you please was acceptable. Books cover the floor and bookshelf as do our records. In the morning I commonly find a friend who has crashed for the night, this is why the living room is my favorite.
Kitchen
This room keeps being filled with the little knick-knacks that we find around the city; we just can’t stop trying to make our 50′s kitchen better. The linoleum is cheesy with flowers and pastel tones but that was a huge attraction. We are yet to find a table the suits the space but the chandelier has enough charisma in itself to keep the room filled with energy.
Bathroom
No shower curtains were required for us to move into this bathroom, there are glass sliding doors–it’s a wonderful thing. We have all our basics in there along with a “Butt” magazine and a small portrait of a sea foam green duck. When we’re home together Izzy and I have our life catch ups as we brush our teeth. A bathroom is a great place to reunite, at least ours is.
Bedroom
This room hasn’t been unpacked completely but the fairy lights are up and most of the clothes are away, that’s enough of a start. There are not many things that I collect in life but clothing is something that I do so the large closet that this room has is fantastic. I have started putting up portraits on one of the walls; the plan is one day the entire wall will be covered with these portraits that I find at thrift stores or given to by friends.
