Apartment Pix (ii): Studies in Blue

April 8, 2009

In today’s post, we present the bathroom and the dining room.

bathroom-one

From the bathroom doorway, you can see two sets of bifold doors. The first hides the washer and dryer; the second hides a huge closet. Note the shell pattern on the shower curtain.

bathroom-two

This dragon hook was left behind by a previous tenant. Above it is a skylight.

dining-room-one

The dining room and kitchen make an L. This is the view from the kitchen; the window is off to the left.

dining-room-two

On the righthand wall, an oldĀ dresser gets a new life: glasses and cups are stored on the shelf, placemats and napkins and tablecloths and silverware in the drawers.

dining-room-three

On the weekend, we found a willow someone had cut down, so we took a few sprigs home.

dining-room-four

This building was built within five years after the Great Fire of 1877, so it has coal fireplaces, which are smaller than ones made for burning wood. Nevertheless, I thought our larger roasting pan was just the thing to decorate the spot. I appreciate beauty with a purpose.

Next: the living room (and maybe the foyer) .
