Progress: Sewing Room

Really excited to finally make sure of my little sewing table!

Progress: The First Four Days

Boyfriend and your MatchGirl moved into our new Greenpoint space on Friday of last week. There is still so very much to do, but I thought I'd share some picks of the apartment and the progress we've made, and the mess that still exists.

Above is the view from the front door of the apartment. To the left is the dining area. Right now it's home to Boyfriend's bike and a whole bunch of plants, as well as my vintage breakfast table, inherited, long ago, from the Great-Aunt Jessie. To the right is the living room area. We still haven't purchase a sofa, so right now it's where the yet-to-be-unpacked-boxes are stacked.

In the distance you can see the kitchen, where we've made the most progress - paint job complete and some shelving installed. 

Inspiration: Livet Hemma

Oh my gosh. I had no idea that Ikea had a home blog. Thank goodness it's all in Swedish and I can't read a word of it. The pictures alone are enough of a time suck.

Seating Arrangements

Boyfriend and your MatchGirl, gentle readers, are on the hunt for a new couch. Boyfriend, as I've said before, moved to NYC with only belongings he could fit in his car and has pretty much no furniture whatsoever. Your MatchGirl has a couch she bought from Ikea in 2003. And it's kind of busted.

So one of the things we need for our new apartment is a couch.

Shopping Trip: Ikea

Even though Boyfriend and I haven't found a new place yet (seriously, if you know of one in Greenpoint for April 1, hook a girl up!) we decided to go on a reconnaissance mission to Ikea.

On a Saturday.
