finally... a place to call my own!

arg, has it really been 5 weeks since i posted anything?  oops!  so much to tell!  first of all, i've finally managed to get my own place.  i am of course forever indebted to my friends and family who helped me to get back on track.

i've relocated to beautiful downtown st. petersburg - and thus far i am absolutely LOVING it.  i'm close to everything fun and exciting - bars, museums, restaurants, the waterfront - most within walking distance.  the exception is, unfortunately, that i am further from work (and gas prices are sky high).  ah well, good thing i won't be doing much driving when i'm home.

so... here it is!

my new address is the Beacon on 3rd (470 Third Street South).  I live in a studio on the 7th floor.  Want a tour?  Of course you do!

Here are some exterior shots of the apartment building...

and as I said, it is close to everything...

So here's a sneak peek at my new house thus far...

view of the kitchen (just to the right when you walk in)

snazzy light fixture!

main studio space - check out those windows!

studio living: bedroom to the left, what will be the living room to the right

oops, guess the bedroom is an office too :)  the door open door leads into a walkthrough closet and bathroom, odd, but it works!

view from the bed area - the whole space is triangular - wacky but cool

entrance into the closet/bathroom.  good thing i have colorful clothes to "decorate" with ;)

nice pedestal sink and mirror - my first house with out a standard contractor vanity!

added the hyllis shelving unit from ikea - $14.99!! holla!!

view back to the "office"

view across the room to the outside
