People have asked, and so Im delivering. Here are some pictures of my apartment. Its 850 sq feet of my own space. Its pretty much my favorite place to be. I love it. Hope you do too.
This is what you see when you first walk in. Love the counter height table! And I put them together all by myself. Ok, maybe with alittle help from the dudes at the shop. 
My kitchen! It has so much space. And I love my valet trash service. Heaven.

My living room. Im still wanting a coffee table, but Im alittle particular with which one I want. All in due time.

Another angle of my living room. Some people much recognize that leather chair. Its been with me since my first apartment in Boston. It might be missing a few bolts, but I just cant part with it yet.

Ahh. My room. And I don't have to put all my personal belongings in it. Between there just being breathing room and my most comfy bed, its my slice of heaven.

Bathroom. Love the shower curtain.

If any of you saw my closet in Manhattan, you would understand how much this is such an upgrade for me. Its a walk in and a door. Amazing. And it fits ALL my clothes. Seriously, Amazing.
I didn't add a picture, but another fabulous amenity of my apartment is that there is laundry! I haven't had an apartment with laundry in so long. Its worth every extra penny I pay for that.
After my interview back in Nov, I went and looked at about 6 apartments that I found online. They were all further away from work than I was looking for, and none of them felt like my place. Moving from Manhattan where things like dishwashers and garbage disposals were not a standard, and where my particular apartment was a basement apartment without windows. (Haha, and one entrance! Yes, death trap if there was a fire!) Pretty much anything was a step up. And I really have been so happy with this place. There is gym that I have been frequenting weekly, which has been an awesome change for me. And there is a pool. A couple even.
I might not be in the city where the lights inspire you, or where the streets will make you feel brand new. But this apartment has helped to make the transition a little bit easier.

I seriously need to visit. Or you need a roommate. Want to get me a posh job in Charlotte?
That's a great apartment, Lis!
