O give me a home, where the city folk roam

Good morning, Monday...weekend was full of work and laundry and work and laundry and worrying about the apartment and laundry. As someone whose home is beyond important to her, I can't help but feel completely upside down these days- we put in an application on an apartment but realized last night it's not for us- neither of us was that excited about it, and since we spend more time at home than anywhere else these days, it made no sense to move into a place that did not feel right.Now I am concerned we are going to be gypsies, thus the photo above. And although chic and bohemain and unfussy, I am not much of a wandering minstrel. Oh, I need a home. Stat. Finding a home in the city is maddening.

New York is funny that way, though. You almost always have to give up something to live somewhere nice- whether the closets are too small, the bathroom sucks, or the apartment faces a brick wall or a street that is way too busy. Or like one apartment we fell in love with, the apartment is on the street, literally (think converted storefront).

I am off to LA tomorrow for a project but hoping something wil click soon in our search- we definitely are all about Brooklyn now- Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens. I do so love it there and lived there many moons ago and always had a fondness for that tree lined, pretty area. Now with Trader Joe's...gotta love that. Oh, and a Barneys COOP.

So forgive me if my posts are apartment obsessed of late- and if you hear of anything great, do let me know. I know we'll find something but probably not sleeping until we do...cause that's what's up this in need of a home kind of Monday in the MIA. All the love. XO
