Without further ado, i give you an abbreviated tour of the new loft. To see more photos, click on any one of them and you’ll be taken to my flickr photo stream. Enjoy!
This is what you see when you first step inside. Immediately to your right is the guest bathroom:
Nathan laid claim to this bathroom immediately, dubbing it the Man Space. Since it’s also the guest bathroom, i’m actually the only person who’s not allowed to use it. 
Down the hall a bit and on the right we have the washer & dryer:
This is one of my favorite things about living here. No quarters, no waiting for neighbors to move their shit, no embarrassment when i accidentally leave underwear in one of the machines. Our own washer & dryer – hallelujah!
Keep going down the small hallway opposite the w&d, and you’ll see the walk-in closet, the bedroom and the wash room & second bathroom.
The closet is nice and big, but a trifle messy.
Here you can see how the rooms flow together – and my Oregon rainbow.
The sink here has its own separate room, which i call the wash room
Exiting the bedroom area and continuing down the main hallway, we come upon the common area:
Which consists of the dining area, the kitchen, a small built-in granite desk just to the right of the view in the above photo, and these two sitting areas:
Then we head outside to the terrace:
We need some outdoor furniture. And maybe a few more plants.
We spent a lot of time cleaning the place up yesterday, and now just have a few things to hang on the walls before we will have completely put it together. I feel so much more at ease now – more so than i have in a good month or two, i’d say. Despite how lovely it is, though, the best thing about this place by far is that i’m here with the love of my life and get to share the space and my time with him.

This place is gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see it in person!!
Also, the picture with the one lone plant… it amuses me a little, for some reason.

So. Fucking. HOTTTTTT! Now I’m completely jealous.
P.S. Props to the kitchen already having a collection of alcohol bottles!

P.P.S. What’s with that “love of my life” comment? Did you piss him off or something? Kissing up? lol

Thanks guys! Also, we’re really just that sappy. Pretty much all the time.

It’s fun being sappy when it really IS that amazing =) I know what you mean!
Your apartment looks amazing – I’m so happy that you guys found a place to call your own! That balcony has so much potential! I adore the layout of the place – it’s so you. Modern but classy and a VERY artistic vibe.

wow, it’s so spacious, open, and grown-up! A perfect space, maybe, but of course secondary in importance to company, so I’m glad you’ve got both. Enjoy

Steph! Your loft looks amazing, I’m so jealous as well (although I do love my apartment). Congrats on the new space!
