This is what's going on in my head: I'm focusing on what I think are realistic expectations, since I don't have the experience to have real-world expectations.
I want to have enough room to live comfortably.
I don't need things to be new, but I want them to be clean and comfortable - or at least in such a state that they can be made clean and comfortable without making me hate my life.
I don't want to have to spend so much on repairs and maintenance that the monthly cost of the apartment is functionally raised to the point where it's a bad deal.
I want to buy *good* furniture that matches - or at least
This apartment is big, the location is great (close to the subway, considering it's UES), the walkup isn't bad, and Sue loves it. All these are huge positives.
(I wonder if we could put the fridge over by the stove and put counter space next to the sink.)

I don't see why not? Is there room on the right side of the stove?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I totally love it, for all of its weirdness and lack of counterspace. But that doesn't mean we're married to it.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that those goals are entirely realistic. It might just need a little TLC to start, which y'all seem enthusiastic about throwing yourselves into (paint, etc.) anyway.
