The New New Place
So Jess and I have moved. Again. I know, it’s shocking. If you’re interested in our defense you can read Jess’ previous post here. I’m not here to defend, I’m just here to give you an update on how things are in our new place so far.
We moved in on Thursday (a week ago yesterday). Naturally we’re almost done decorating, and we’ve been unpacked since Sunday. We just have a little more art to hang and some plants to get in planters on the balcony. As much as we dislike moving, we’ve got it down to a science, so the process is usually pretty quick with us.
The new place really is great! We have three times the closet space, a storage unit in the basement, the balcony is 25 feet long, the kitchen has granite counter tops, the floors are wood, and the bedroom is bigger. There is an amazing view of downtown from the Penthouse suite on the 9th floor, and we have a covered, off-street parking space. The only thing I have to complain about is the bathroom. It’s tiny. I mean, it’s average for a bathroom, but we’re used to two sinks and a garden tub, so we feel like it’s tiny. All in all, if the bathroom is the only thing we have to complain about, I think we’re doing good!
Our neighbors are much better. Literally everyone we see stops what they’re doing to introduce themselves. We’re renting directly from a condo owner, so most of the people who live here own their units, and naturally they want to know their neighbors. I think they’re planning on having a welcome party. And I’m sure you’ve seen the sign in the elevator by now. Seriously, they’re very sweet neighbors.
And we love love love the neighborhood! Cheeseman Park is gorgeous. We’ve walked to Dazbog (our favorite, local coffee place) at least 4 times. We’re within walking distance to a lot of our friends, not to mention yummy restaurants and bars that I’m just itching to try. We’re just really glad to finally be in Capitol Hill. It’s the “gayborhood” of Denver, and we’re excited to experience it.
After we get fully decorated we’ll have a house warming party, and we’ll post some more pictures of the finished place. Stay tuned!
