apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Anyway, if you don't know the storyline, it can be generally summed up as, "Jennifer Garner wears wigs, kicks ass, and has the best apartment EVER from Season 3 to the end." Or, if you have a LOT of time on your hands and prefer reading to watching TV but finds this all very intriguing, then may we recommend these awesome snark-filled recaps at TWOP? Unfortunately, neither the DVDs nor the recaps answer our nagging question: Do CIA agents make enough money to afford an apartment in Santa Monica a block from the beach? If so, we may have to rethink our career. Oh well, we'll probably never know...Here are a few screenshots from Season 3 (although in retrospect, we wished we took screenshots from Season 4 when Mia Maestro moves in).

Another shot of living room during an episode where Sydney and Weiss (Greg Grunberg) unpack all of her worldly possessions...was it all in storage for the two years she was faking people's death for some rogue terrorist organization? All right, fine, we'll stop with the Alias commentary and focus on the set: as much as we love the sofa and the lamp, it's really the wood walls and huge windows that had us from the start.

The counter/bar that is easy access to the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Convenient for entertaining...and cross-indexing a top 10 list of why your ex-boyfriend's current wife is an evil, evil person (with help from your dad).

Sydney's bedroom. The wood walls are carried throughout the entire apartment; and in this particular shot, it works beautifully with the windows and the bamboo greenery outside. This bedroom still feels very cozy despite the hard angles of the furniture--we suspect it's all in the warm colors and soft textures of the rug and blankets.

Because no home is complete without a bottle of tequila and a good friend to get wasted with on a weeknight.
