Suite #405

This blog post is for those of you that have been bugging me (or have given up on asking all together) for pictures of our "new" place! I have been procrastinating-I know!! Haha... I was hoping to have more art/photography on our walls by now, but instead of buying canvases we've been too busy updating camera's and lenses! Aghh! It never ends keeping up with the photographers in this city!!

So here it is... sort of a rush job, but if I got everything perfect this post never would have come ;)

This is our entrance/hallway... our washer and drier are tucked into one of the closets as you come in the door... this is where the kitties like to hang out most-sprawled out on the cool tiles.


First door on your right is the bathroom- a lot smaller than our last gigantic washroom but it does the trick!

We have to make the most of "storage" in our place, it is only 800 sq feet. It feels big because of the high ceilings and big windows, but it is QUITE cozy.

Nice big kitchen... this is always important to us! We are learning to become chefs extraordinaire so we need our space!! Yes... that is a watermelon in a slowcooker. haha-we didn't want to come home to the huge melon rolled onto the floor in a big pink heap! The kitties are smart enough to do things like that!

Living room. We just got our cable disconnected for summer! We want to try to be outdoors as much as possible this season. The "Imperial Lofts" building is right smack dab in the middle of town. (220 11th Avenue S.E) so we want to be sure to get out into the city alot while it is sunny and warm!

This is our bed-area... not so much a room. It's nice to wake up to the bright sunshine in the mornings and NOT have to climb a ladder every time we want to get under the covers. Since getting our lovely Charlie- the big fluffy white ragdoll our bed has been covered in fur. Gaaahh! It doesn't even come off in the wash. Suggestions?

"Dining Room" haha... more like a dining space. The table opens up nice and big so hopefully we can have you ALL over for dinner ;) Well maybe 6 at a time...
Behind the table is an old elevator shaft that was built back in 1912. The building used to be a tabacco warehouse? I think...
Each space has been converted to a unique "loft" apartment. We moved from a suite on the third floor back in February which actually had our bedroom in a loft- but the ladder climb every night got old fast. It's cool how each apartment in this building are so unique and different.



The Elevator shaft rolls open and we've converted it into a sweet little office where we make all of our photo magic happen!
So there you are! I will have to take photos of the patio and views from the roof later! The rooftop of our building is the BEST seat in Calgary for Canada day fireworks and anyone who is interested in joining us this year just let us know!! We like to wine and cheese it up :)

Hope you enjoyed the photo tour- now come buzz our place for a visit or cold beer on the patio!
