A Young Man’s First Apartment

He’s not a kid and he’s not quite a man, but he is my son and he’s moving into his first apartment!  Ack! 

This is my baby; my son who shares a “psychic bond” with me; neither of us can stay mad at the other and we both always apologize right away; the boy who didn’t ride a bike until he was almost 10; the little guy who didn’t want to go in the pool by himself and was just as content to sit on the stairs into the pool with his Mom; the toddler who instead of crawling scooted on his butt, making sure he wasn’t missing anything that was going on while he made his way across the floor; and the 8-year-old who was signed up for football {and that I wanted to wrap in bubble wrap every weekend game} and who continued to play all the way up through his high school years!

Here are some shots of his first apartment ~ the second floor of a house which has a history of being rented to students.  He will be rooming with a friend.  The rent is within our budget and it is a neat, clean place.  Freshly painted and the floors refinished for a new tenant.

The apartment is quite small.  The kitchen opens to the living room.  The two bedrooms are 9x9.  The bathroom is not a bad size and there is some nice shelving storage along one wall where the kitchen and living room meet. 

Each room has a window and there is a skylight in the kitchen. 

It is light and bright with wood floors throughout.  So much for giving my son the point and shoot to get steady pictures.  They’re steady but not very good shots of the rooms.  I’ll try and get better ones when we are actually moving him in.

A nice first apartment for a young man.  With some touches from Mom, we will make it a home.  We sign the lease Thursday and get the keys.  Stay tuned!
