Apartment - Living Room

Probably the best thing about the apartment is the living room.  it's huge and spacious.  7 windows, that were replaced before we moved in, so we know they are nice and new.  It gives Dillan a ton of space to run around and spread his toys all over the place.  We are really lucky in that aspect.  Even gabby our bird has her own corner to be part of the social-ness but without being in the way.

In addition to replacing the windows they kept the cool original stained-glass windows that were put in about 100 years ago when the building was built.  there is also a nice built in curtain rod that I use to hang pictures.

The windows were really nice at Christmas.  I could put lights and ornaments in the windows.  With the long radiator with wooden cover, Dillan was kept a safe distance from the decorations.

We also had more than enough room for a large Christmas tree... and the gate to keep dillan from pulling all the ornaments off, without comprising too much of the play space.  so nice.  :)

There's also this awesome fake fireplace for our stockings and some fun decorations.  there is a plus in it if we had wanted to purchase an electrical wooden log set-up for the "real" fireplace affect. 

We would be so lucky if our next place could have such a large and spacious living room.  Fortunately we spend most of our time there so we are getting great use of it.  
I won"t mention how the new windows seal up the place so well there is constant dew on the windows so we need to run a dehumidifier to keep the windows water free.  it's not perfect but it's still the best place in the apartment.
