Seeing this house tour on Etsy made me nostalgic about my old undergraduate apartment that I shared with my dear friend, Eva, also for three years, just like the roomies in this post. I have never had the opportunity again to build a nest quite like my old Halifax apartment. Sharing it with someone with such complementary taste and who became my best friend during that time was really special; it is a time I will never forget. I remember the first few weeks in that apartment when we were still eating dinner off a cardboard box and Eva got really depressed about how bare our place was. Over the years it grew and grew with love, thrift and sidewalk finds, and acquired art.

Since graduating I have been jumping non-stop from one place to the next and have not had a chance to truly settle into a place again since. I am looking forward to experiencing that long-lost nesting magic come September 2010, when I (hopefully) start a PhD program in Philosophy and will be in one place for at least four years. It will be so nice to finally rest my feet.

I decided to get these pictures of our old place off my junky Toshiba before the motherboard dies and show them off. Enjoy the tour!
