Above is the face of my new Brooklyn Apartment. I move in October 1st and closer to then I will share some more photos of this buildings many charms. It is a late 1800's limestone with a few apartments that were essentially broken up from what was once a massive family home. My apartment faces the garden out back and features exposed brick, piping, hardwood, and is essentially a studio plus a a hallway/potential office area...yeah, it's tiny. The street is on the line between Fort Greene and Clinton Hill so it's quiet, tree-lined, and near Pratt, Brooklyn Academy of Music (lots of fun goes down there), and when I researched the neighborhood on Wikipedia it turns out it has been the stomping grounds for Walt Whitman, John Steinbeck, Marianne Moore, and most importantly Mos Def.
So come October 1st it will be me, my bags, an air mattress, takeout, and toilet paper. Humble beginnings in an apartment that I love. And if I like you which is generally those who know about this blog, then you can come crash the castle!
