Cribs- Bedroom

Each day, I'm going to add another room of my apartment to my blog. (It's all about the antici....)
Here is the background: I have been to IKEA 6 times this year, and I'm planning one more trip for next week. Why? Because at the beginning of May I moved from the furnished Aztec apartment in Steglitz to empty apartment on Friedrichstrasse. (Now I live in Kreuzberg, but very close to Mitte!) My old landlords were unethical jerks when I left, but I got back most of my deposit and never have to contact them again. Thank goodness. I've waited to post pictures of the new place for a variety of reasons: I had friends visiting, I didn't have furniture, I was traveling, but I think the place is finally close to being set up the way I want it. (More plants, a bedside lamp, and a desk lamp are on the list for the next IKEA trip.)

There isn't a door to my bedroom, which is fine since I live alone. I hung these ribbons to help divide the bedroom from the living room. So, the picture is taken from the living room.

I went on my balcony to take this picture (notice the open window?) I have a bed and a little bedside stool instead of a table for when I need extra seating in the living room.

This little nook is used as a closet. I have entirely too many clothing items. I'll have to send some home with Mom and Dad when they visit in October!

This picture is taken from the perspective of my bed. (You can see me in the window reflection.) The room faces the East which makes 7 am a VERY bright time of day for someone on my bed. When Anne and Emily were here I would wake up to find them off of the air mattress because the sun was so bright and hot. Since I've survived a Berlin winter, I don't complain about the sun. I know the alternative...
