As Julie mentioned, our apartment-hunting weekend in
Brooklyn was an adventure.
After viewing what felt like our thousandth overpriced, underwhelming
apartment, we had started to lose our minds and were ready to start
compromising on just about EVERYTHING. (Full disclosure: we actually put in an
application for an apartment after the previous renters told us that they had
had roaches. I’m glad to report
that we left the rental office, came to our senses, and retracted the
application immediately.)
It was in this state that we came across a mess of an
apartment that I knew would be our dream home. The apartment was in the process of being renovated, but
even full of dust, garbage, old appliances, and tools, it was the most
beautiful thing I had ever seen.
This is what I get for trying to take a picture without asking Julie to move out of the way. Also, please note Devin in the background trying to ignore us.
The high ceilings, crown (and other) moldings, and huge windows stole my
heart, as did the original wood floors that I could see peeking through. I didn’t need to see the rest of the
apartment to know that this was the one for us!
