Two weeks ago today marked the one year anniversary of my moving into a little studio apartment on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC. The fact that I am still living there one year and two weeks later is quite an accomplishment in my book. In the past six years, I've lived in six different apartments. So it only made sense that when I moved to my current location, I never really let myself settle in. That is, until now.
I fell in love with this studio—all (supposedly) 425 sq. feet of it. It took some time, and maybe it didn't hit me full-on until I thought about the fact that my lease would soon be ending. But since I've decided to stay for a now indefinite period of time (tomorrow marks day one of being lease-free), I've also decided to make the absolute most of it.
With some simple sparks of creativity, a lot of help from Pinterest, and encouragement from family and friends, I've taken on a small series of projects to really make this place mine. I'll try to share them here as they happen (one of my favorite additions is above), along with my explorations of DC, and hopefully more.
So… any ideas for what I should do next? Some thoughts: Create a terrarium. Start a new sewing project. Design invitations for my grandmother's 90th birthday party.
Tonight: trying a new restaurant in Park Potomac called Sugo.
