movin' on up

At the end of this month we'll have our easiest move ever- we're moving to another apartment in our building. Person power is the only thing required for this move! We love our current apartment, but it is a wee bit small and awkward for the number of overnight visitors we have. Our new apartment will have a bedroom large enough for us to fit a bed and a dresser! The other great thing about the new apartment is that it gets a lot more light. It's higher in the building, faces south, and has a great deck on the back that I plan to fill with plants.

The cons: larger space to heat and cool, lots of halogen light fixtures (very energy intensive), electric stove (less efficient than gas stoves), and no ceiling fans (yet?). Hopefully we'll be able to improve the lighting and ceiling fan situations to reduce the apartment's energy use (of course our habits impact this more than anything else).

I'm not sure yet how the apartments compare in terms of square footage or volume. I'll try to figure that out.
