When I envisioned our new apartment in San Francisco, when I thought of the place where we'd plan our wedding and start our new jobs and re-root ourselves on the west coast, all I could picture--and what I really, really hoped for--was the old bay-windows-and-lots-of-light charm associated with the city.
And I'm thrilled/elated/stoked to say: That's exactly, in every way, what we've found.
I'm smitten, in love, with the bay windows and the wooden floors and the streaming, spilling sunlight around every corner. Not to mention the black-and-white tile floor in the kitchen, the sugar cookie-colored walls, the absolutely massive walk-in closet. (Such a must, right?)
I'll admit that I'd been a bit nervous about moving--a bit hesitant to leave a city we love, my family and so many of our friends. But then I walked into this apartment, and it felt like home. Even without any of our furniture, without any pictures or knick knacks or even a hint of of who we are, I knew the space was ours.
And now, I have to say, everything feels right.

Dear Laura Marie,

It's gorgeous! I'm so jealous!!
I love it! there are some houses that only seems to "live" in some seasons and this apartment only makes me think about summer and spring. I love the light (and what closet! portuguese homes don't have closets!)
:) It will be an awesome place to live.

Love it!! Can't wait to see it with your own personal touch. Seriously so excited for you guys even though I will miss you :( Just another reason to take some vacay days!
Aah, I seriously love this place! So much natural character...at least you have a home you love to move in to, that makes a move a whole lot easier.
you have a walk in closet???!!!!!!!!!!! you are one of the very very lucky few in san francisco. closet space is not something of abundance here.
Those windows, that kitchen, ohhh I'm in love!
i am SO jealous of your closet. such a must. your new place is beautiful, i'm excited to watch you make it home.
Your new apartment looks amazing! I love the wooden floor and clean white walls, the perfect canvas for creativity and fun.
