Katie's New Digs in Jersey City



Katie has moved from Montclair to a fabulous new place in the hip neighborhood of Jersey City. She invited a few friends over to see the new place and hang out and visit. I took these pictures very early in the evening before most of the others got there. Maggie and Thomas drove out from the city which was awesome since I haven't seen either of them in awhile. Of course Nathan was there but camera shy as ever and I totally missed getting Stephen in a shot but whatever. How beautiful is this place??!??! Katie knows how to make things so dreamlike and fantastical. Her room looks like it was ripped from the pages of Dwell. She has taken her space and transformed it so that it seems so open and roomy yet warm and cozy. The kitchen as you can see is a vintage wonderland and the bathroom (which I did not take a picture of) even has a claw foot tub! One of the best features is that she has a back yard!!!! For those of you who live in areas where yards are something everyone has... you won't understand why this is such a big deal. NO ONE has a yard around here!!! Not to mention one as magical as this one. That is Frances's bunny on the grass. Frances is Katie's puppy and constant companion. We all had a great time and I even stopped at Billy's and got a dozen cupcakes.. how can you have a bad time when cupcakes are invited???
So glad you are closer to the city now Katie.. just a short subway then PATH ride away from the new place in Brooklyn (coming soon to a blog near you!). Now the next time JV comes to town, we will have no excuse not to go out for breakfast afterward!!
