Introducing: Aspect Court

Hooray! We finally have moved into our new apartment in Accra! Friday was a crazy busy day of meeting the air freight and furniture delivery people, unpacking everything, and attempting to find new homes for our things. Nothing was broken and there were only a few miscommunications. All in all, we have had a very productive couple of days and are looking forward to settling in and spending our next 23 months calling this space our home.

The apartment is 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Quite the size upgrade from our 827 sq foot, 1 bed, 1 bath apartment in San Francisco, though quite similar in market value. There's a master bedroom with an en suite bath, a guest bedroom with a sizable bath across the hall (you hear that, potential guests?!?!), and a small third bedroom which has become my office and our workout space. There's a large great room that will be both our living and dining space and a decent sized balcony. Currently, the balcony only holds Dan's most prized purchase... the grill. We intend to purchase some outdoor furniture from a vendor on the side of the road at some point (I think there's a new blog post brewing there).

Here are some photos of the new space. I intentionally took these before anything got delivered as I wanted you to see the "blank canvas" if you will. Once we get things situated (read as: get all the dirty laundry washed and put away), I'll take others of the furnished space to share with you. Hope you enjoy these in the meantime!

Kitchen... though I'm quite sure you didn't need a descriptor here.

Guest bathroom (hell-oooooo, soaker tub. Have I mentioned 

I love that corner ledge for a glass of wine? Just sayin')
