One of the first things to go was his big screen TV, which thankfully was a flat panel and light enough to be carried down the stairs:
Phu's girlfriend Magali also served as free labor and hustled one of Phu's many bikes (the kid owns like five of them) outside:
While I thought Phu had a pretty full bedroom, along with belongings scattered around the apartment, turns out all his possesions fit nicely into the back of my car and a rented U-Haul truck. You can tell these things belong to Phu because of the plants:
The two biggest plants went into the back of the U-Haul. Did I mention that he had actually moved a bulk of his plants the day before? You'll see what I mean further down in this post.
It was time to say goodbye to the apartment in Brookline...
...and hello to a brand new apartment in a gorgeous building:
I loved all the green spaces around the building, including large patches of beautiful purple flowers complete with benches to take in the view:
Walking into the apartment, it's all stark white walls until you hit the massive wall of windows that faces Phu's new kitchen and dining/living room. I think his plants add the right touch of home and life to his new new space:
Here's his beautiful new kitchen (adjacent to the windows) with stainless steel appliances and granite counters:
A surprisingly roomy bathroom:
And the studio bedroom that is not quite a studio, since there is a half wall separating it from the kitchen/living room space:
It was exciting to check out Phu's new apartment and the whole moving-in process only took a few hours. We ended up toasting his new place with the strawberry lemonade served in solo cups.
The unpacking process may take a little longer, but I think Phu will find much to be happy about in his new digs. Congrats Phu on being a homeowner!
