Yesterday after days and days of feeling restless and frustrated by the never ending monotony of my life, I decided to make a change. A drastic change. I started looking at ads on KSL and Craigs List for apartments. I sorted through dozens of ads looking for the features I desired. I found one that sounded really promising. I called and it had already been taken. I almost gave up, but then I came back to an ad that had a quirky appeal to it. What was that? They mentioned chickens, yes chickens. This house has a chicken coup in the back yard. Fresh eggs are an added amenity to this apartment. Interesting. I called the contact person and left a voice message. Later I got a call back and we arranged for me to see the place.
And so last night I drove downtown after work to get a peek. I fell in love with it right away. It has a spiral staircase to get to it. LOVE it. Thankfully there is a second stairwell in the back. I was a bit curious to see how I was going to get furniture up such a tiny stairway. There were two rooms up for rent, one lavender and one blue. I chose the lavender for design purposes. Color wise, I prefer the blue, but color can be changed according to my lovely tour guide Sara. I knew it was a good deal and I had a very good feeling about it. And so, I declared I would take it! I signed my contract and I move in around November 1st. I cannot wait to experience life on my own!
Here are a few pics of the place. The furniture is a bit different and obviously the bedroom furniture will change to mine, but you get the idea of what it looks like. One unique thing is the layout. The living room is in the front then you walk down a long hallway past all the bedrooms to get to the kitchen. I'm a fan.
