Yes, we get to live in a mansion built in 1890! It was built for the lieutenant governor of New Brunswick. We live in a top floor apartment at the back. Great view, but soooo many stairs. (For more info go to this page on St. Stephen architecture and scroll to the bottom).


Here's Matt crashed on our camping gear after the first night. Our house hadn't caught up to us yet, it was somewhere in Quebec.


Here's the bedroom. It's a much nicer color than our last bedroom, but smaller too.


Here's me pretending to do the dishes in our small-ish kitchen.


Here's Jac pretending to read. She continues to do so for the next few pictures as we get the full panorama of the living area. It's still pretty cluttered as we aren't quite unpacked yet.







Jac made me pose for this and the next picture so that you can get a better sense of the scale of the place. My wide-angle lens usage in the four pictures where she's pretending to read make things look a bit bigger than they actually are.
The apartment seems to be the perfect size for us, even though its only approx. 380 square feet. Plus the soaring ten foot ceilings make it feel kind of like a studio loft.
