We Found An Apartment!

We are so excited this amazing apartment is official ours! We move in September 1st (which won't come soon enough)! It comes fully furnished, which is so great, although we have a bit of work to do in the bedrooms to make them our own. A few cosmetic things - new curtains, bedding, some pictures, etc should do the trick! 


This is basically our dream Amsterdam apartment as it's big, bright, has a great kitchen and the best part... It looks down on the sweetest little canal! We live on the most adorable street, and the second we walked into this place it felt like home. I can't wait to show you all more photos once we move in and get settled! For now, here are a few to give you a little taste.


Our Street!


The Amazing Living Room:
Look at those built ins and that ladder! And how about that cute little fireplace?! Love!!!


And Our Canal View :)
This is from our bedroom. Same view, but a floor higher from those big windows in the living room!

Isn't it lovely?! What do you think? I am in love and can't wait to move in!

  22. Looks STUNNING! I love it! And am incredibly jealous! So I know nothing about Amsterdam - but it looks like all the cars are parked in one row with no way to get out?! I hope it's not as bad as it looks! Can you use boat to get around in most of the city? That would be fun!!
