Playin' house

I started my first real job two weeks ago, I love Kansas City and am thrilled to be living with my fiancé again. We have been up to all sorts of shenanigans.

First off, when moving to a new town, it is important that one try every single new restaurant in the neighborhood at lightning speed (everyone does that, right?) We have discovered a great local deli that makes apple fritters as big as your face. Murray's Ice Cream shop in Westport actually makes a chocolate mole ice cream that is spicy. Breweries are all over the place, which is perfect for me.

Onto my new favorite pastime, playing house. Here is our living room today. Check out that killer hole in the wall! You can't tell from this picture, but the view is incredible. Living on the 7th floor definitely has it's perks, including perfect natural light. We have got to get some furniture up in here, so that has become a high priority talking point for these two apartment dwellers.



We went on an extreme sofa buying mission, which involved PHC sitting on every sofa we liked for pictures. Here are a few of my favorites:





The last one is the winner- or at least we think it will be. Paul's head is a little blurry because he is nodding. Super cozy couch. We are going to go back in a couple of weeks to shop around just one more time before we really decide. 

Also, we bought these curtains from Urban Outfitters, a very inexpensive source. Paul picked out the pattern, naturally I was going for something plain and boring...



I've always been a little weird about this style of curtain, but we are going to try it on a tension rod and try not to put any holes into the walls of our lovely rental apartment. Not yet, anyway.
