Today I got the keys to my new apartment in Providence and we moved a car full of boxes in. The apartment is older than my current one but it has central air conditioning, a dishwasher, and washer/dryer – things that I don’t have right now and they seem like such a luxury! The stove is so old that it’s brown & orange and has an analog clock, but it’s full sized which means my baking pans don’t have to touch the sides of the oven like they do now.
It’s in a converted warehouse. When we saw the photo on Craigslist, we saw this:
It looked dated, like in a 1980′s way and I assumed it was a sliding glass door or something boring. But then we saw it in person, and pulled back the curtains and it took my breath away. (Sorry, my cell phone doesn’t have a setting for backlighting)
Our bedroom also has one of those windows. The previous tenants had those sheers hung up with flimsy tension rods, and they were draped in a way where you can tell they never opened them. After we moved our boxes in, I had to take at least one of them down because it looked so ugly.
The giant arched brick does a great job of distracting me from the up-close and personal view of the highway outside. Now, any ideas on better window curtain options to show off those windows?

I saw someone’s place once, and they had massive windows. It was a loft, and the windows went from the floor to the ceiling. They didn’t cover them at all though. With something that massive it’d be very expensive to cover. I think a nice big tree would be nice. It’d offer some privacy, and you wouldn’t have to worry about measurements.
