I remember how Julie from the movie "Julie and Julia" had a total meltdown in her apartment about her place, when the kitchen sink was not working properly and she had to plunge it out. That was our apartment a few years back in Chicago, and we continue to live in the same conditions after 5 years of being together.
How much more can we take this? :)
So I suggested this weekend to my husband a change in our life. A new place. Not just a new environment that is actually an apartment that has been around since the 1960's, a brand new place that doesn't have the worries of a leaking ceiling, a clogged kitchen sink or a heater that functions more like an air condition system.
We have two more years in the Philadelphia area and I'd like those years to be stress-free. I found a pretty nice place that's in between our working locations.
One of my favorite kitchen areas, I love the construction and the lighting.
Here's another model with a corner kitchen.
A view of the office/living room area. The windows are perhaps one of my favorite features of the loft.
The hallway view.
The second level bedroom.
If everything works out, we'll move in around June this year. They are building new lofts and they will be available around the time of our move. Hopefully we can get a space kind of like this first kitchen model, I love the high ceilings and the sunroof.

As far as our move, it may have some difficulties. We're wondering if we can transport our IKEA furniture, it may not be a possibility since deconstructing/reconstructing the IKEA furniture gives wobbly results. Does anyone have experience moving an IKEA bedroom set, TV console, bookshelves?
The move will be exciting, and I'll feature some of the ideas that we have for the new place.

Hi! I followed you on the 'bee and just found a link to your blog and have been lurking for a while. I'm from the Philly area too...where are these lofts? They are gorgeous!
Ikea goods survive a couple of moves in my experience! Our bookcases easily made it through 3 moves, and I had a dresser that died after four moves. You should be just fine!
Ps. LOVE those apartments!
