We don’t officially move until January 23 but Mike and I got a head-start yesterday and installed a couple of recent purchases at the new apartment. We’ve had the amazing chrome table base for a few years but just last week we scored the spectacular marble top on Craigslist for $200. The vivid flatweave rugs were originally joined along the long side to make more of a square (St. Lawrence Market, $100) but we’ve elected to break them up and use them as runners in the galley kitchen.
If we stick with the scheme we’ll likely make a blue and white roman blind to dress up the window, which looks across our insanely large balcony into the Rosedale ravine.
It’s weird to have the kitchen set up while the adjoining rooms are a riot of boxes — the kitchen will be our oasis of promise amid the chaos of the move, inspiring us to make the rest of the place just as exciting. Here’s hoping.
