our new pad

8, rue Severo

a few of you saw our old apartment in the 5th - the closet-sized kitchen, the two burners that couldn't go at once because the whole place would blow, the shower in the bedroom, the smurf-sized sofa that was purchased at some point in the early 50s... some of you even slept in the "loft" even though you couldn't sit up in bed or go pee in the middle of the night without risking serious injury... all that, we figured, was a small price to pay for our proximity to the river and the best bakery in town.

but get a load of our new digs! we're in the 14th arrondissement this time around (see map below), which is further south and not as metro-convenient, BUT the place is awesome. knox and i can actually be in different rooms and not know what the other is doing!


la cuisine


la salle de bain (the toilet closet is over by the front door)


la chambre


le salon

a lot of reds and yellows in the decorating, which is a new experience for us "dirt-color" people. it's nice to have a real coffee table though, instead of the miniature bench we used in in the 5th or the army trunk we had in our santa monica place.

Wow, that looks palatial. Seriously wish I was still living (relatively) nearby.
