alex and meg


















































 




So no. 2 son is out of this garage and in a real apartment.  alex and meg allowed me to take some pictures of  their new place just days after they moved in.  I love it all, the chesterfield sofa for $8, the free cabinet to hold their tiny tv, the ladder found in the alley the day they moved in.  And if you notice it has a door that opens with a doorknob instead of a clicker and it has indoor plumbing.  It reminds me very much of our first place.  I love the look.
 I think the place has serious style.

  1. You got that right. Serious style!! Hmmmm. When I get down because I want a newly remodeled bathroom, I will look at this post. So beautiful. So real. So fresh. Makes one want to pare down life and dig in to the fantasy. How do you know them? You are too young to have older children.

  2. Looks as though they both have some serious style of their own, as well as the place. Happy weekend to you.

  3. Love this apartment. What a great place for them. And I love (and so would my husband) seeing that record player. Ah, vinyl is still my favorite.

  4. Style is right, I'm really liking it, esp. the vintage record player and all the albums. I love the crackle. Together we have a big collection, just need to get that record player going again.
    Have a wonderful weekend Janet.

  12. Uh yea, they have some SERIOUS style! I dig everything about their fabulous apartment - the shadeless lamps, the camera collection, the ladder, the windows, the AWESOME couch...pretty much everything.
    And not to mention, they are a great looking couple - the first picture looks like a magazine cover. I wish I were young and cool again....

  25. Let's see if blogger will let me comment this time....

    Because that's your son I'm going to forgive them for being so good looking, having such effortless style, such a great camera collection, and hardest of all I'm going to forgive the fact that Meg has those shoes and I don't.

  28. Dear Janet, Well this apartment is certainly a step up from a garage! It is most stylish and, clearly, the pieces have been chosen with care and an artistic eye for detail. What an absolutely delightful place to call home.

  30. I bet that wonderful apartment is a lovely reflection of them - I wish I had that confidence and style so young...still wishing I did actually. I think Meg's legs are helping the cool shoes (if that's not too personal). I would look like Miss Marple in them!! All the best to them.x
