Gosh, has it really been two weeks since I last posted? It has hasn’t it. There I go again disappearing without a trace. Well I’m awfully sorry for the big gap in posts, and I really appreciate that you’re still here. To thank you for staying around, I thought I’d share a few photos of our new apartment in Berkeley, California. The one above is of Ram’s piano.

Here’s his work area. We got the desk and chair at a fantastic place called Urban Ore. We didn’t have a car then, and had to roll them along the sidewalk for about a mile.

This the kitchen, featuring a fabulous mid-century Danish dining room table we found on Craig’s List, and a credenza we picked up for 30 bucks at the Salvation Army in Minneapolis.

The bathroom got super cute when I added that $3 area rug from IKEA. But still… no bathtub.

And finally, my favorite room in the house, our lovely bedroom. This room incorporates elements of our old design style from New York and Berlin. A little more French farmhouse and less California modern, which you can see aspects of in the rest of the apartment. That big mirror, which Ram’s grandmother left outside to weather for a few years, thankfully survived the cross country road trip. It’s one of our most prized possessions. And that smaller one above my bureau I call my “mini Paris fleamarket” because it kind of resembles the big ones Ram’s mother got at the actual Paris Fleamarket. It’s surrounded by my collection of miniature landscapes and Madonna and Child images.

Hope you enjoyed this peek into our new home!
