So yeah, I moved! I traded in 400 sq. feet, freeway noise, a Shining-esque elevator and a noisy upstairs neighbor for a cute little one-bedroom apartment in neighborhoody Southeast Portland. Aside from the seemingly-large rodent that's currently stuck in my bedroom wall (not the most wonderful sound to be woken up to after watching multiple episodes of American Horror Story), I am LOVING my new place. I am especially excited about all of the decorating and design work that I will get to do. People, I have never had my own living room before!
Now I'm three paragraphs back into blogging and it genuinely makes me very, very happy. It's been a month (hi and bye to Thanksgiving!) and I have missed it so. I just got home from work and because it's absolutely FREEZING in my apartment, I'm going to do that whole "imagine you're on a beach" thing in an attempt to warm up except I'm going to gather and stare at some photos of fireplaces. It is that time of year.
So... some of my favorite rooms with fireplaces (working or not!) to get us in a cozy kind of mood!

PS-Thanks for the link love!
They are all beautiful - congrats on the new place! There is nothing like having your own rooms to play with!!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Oregon City right and we had a woodstove but I've always wanted a fireplace. When we built my grandma's house next door, my mom gave her an amazing fireplace. That's def one thing I need in my life when I'm old enough to have my own place :) (like OWN :) )
ReplyDeleteYour comment about the mouse in the wall and watching American Horror story was so funny! I have a big fire place that I still can't seem to decorate right. I need help lol
ReplyDeleteThe first one got to be my favourite! Is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spaces Amberly! Love a good fireplace! Isn't moving a drag?! Only good when it's over :)
