Home Sweet Home Away From Home

Imagine this whole space filled to the window sills with packed boxes. Sadly. I don't have to. I may have been spared the packing, but the unpacking more than made up for it. We were downsizing from three bedrooms to two, and yet, miraculously, in about a week we were able to cobble together a comfortable living space.


Here is a shot of the livingroom/ office area of the great room. Dave's office is the lower left hand side of the photo. My little office space is hiding behind the first pillar. We have some really great views. You can't see from this shot, but the Bay Bridge can be seen through the second window from the right.

And here it is, the Bay Bridge. It is so cool watching boats and ships leave and enter the bay. Below is the view from the kitchen side of the great room. That's AT&T Park, home of the Giants, a view that makes Dave SO happy.
Looking down toward the street from the diningroom end of the great room. We watched the 4th of July fireworks from this table and had an absolutely perfect, couldn't-be-better view of the pyrotechnics.

This is the view to the left of the diningroom. There is usually a flotilla of sailboats out in the bay. Not when I am taking pictures, of course.


Dave's office was still a work in progress when I took this. There is a balcony out the sliding glass doors.


This is one of the views from the balcony. If I'd panned left, I would have seen the Twin Peaks. They really do look like earthwork boobies.



Part of the hallway leading to our bedroom. To the left (unseen) is the laundry room. Behind me (unseen) are the bathroom and linen closet.


Our bedroom, also at this point a work in progress.
San Francisco is a wonderful place. Our apartment is a wonderful place. Our views are so wonderful the movers took numerous cell phone pictures of them. The view from THIS window is of... AT&T Park. GO, GIANTS!
