Last night I had two really good apartment search prospects and they both turned out to be fabulous in different ways.
The first apartment I'm going to term Urban Bohemian. It's a converted warehouse with beautiful gigantic windows. The girl who owns the place put up rooms with gigantic lofts. These lofts are huuuuuge - a little low on the ceiling and a little dark, but they also have little windows in the wall that look down into the living room. The decor is very hodge podge, lots of different rugs, textures, mixed up glasses and cups. I loved that there was exposed brick walls, warm colors and a decent looking hallway. The girls are kind of like the girls at CMU so I think I'll get along with them just fine. And there's a kitty!
The second place was a polar opposite in living situation - the apartment was painted completely white and very well decorated in a minimalist, light and nature friendly manner. It was a very beautiful aparment - sort of what I might aspire towards, eventually. I think the only thing is that the girl who lived there had a very clear idea in her mind of what she felt the apartment should look like and how it should run, and I don't think that would work too well for me in the long run. She does make a great butterbean soup, though.
Both apartments were really close to the subway and felt equally safe, and they were the exact same price and had the same amount of furniture. I'm going with apartment 1, though. I've always been fascinated by bunk beds, and now I'll have a huuuuge one!
