my 'FLAT'

so you are curious about where i live. actually, so am i - i'm never there! but here are some pictures of my apartment, err . . . flat!














these are pictures of my kitchen/living room. In England, they call the living room the "lounge" and in many apartments (like mine) there is no lounge - hence the random couch in my kitchen! Its quite a good space though, we can have a quick glass of wine there - and watch the clothing dryer go! (thats what the random tube stretching across the floor is for, the glorious glorious dryer.)

our flat is 2 levels of a 3 level rowhouse. the kitchen and antoni's room are on the 1st floor, and alex's room, my room, and the "loo" are on the top floor. this is the stair landing upstairs, showing my door in the background with a 'welcome back' poster on it for the guy who used to live there. yes, maybe i will take that down.

i took these pictures one night and they were very yellowish orange for some reason, so i made them black and white so they would look more artistic than they really are. the walls are peach, people. Peach.

and so we go into my bedroom. it is quite large and has wood floors and 2 big windows. exciting! other than that, it is, well, peach. There is also really pretty ugly maroon curtains and a big poofy chair which is scary to look at, but not that bad to sit in! the desk is also a monster from the past, but hey, it holds up and i didn't have to haul any of it up the stairs!


there was a small issue with the heat for a couple weeks, (i.e. there was no heat in my room and it was freezing cold!) but now, you will all be pleased to hear, i have gotten the registers working and heat is pumping into the old tanks. YAY WARMTH! It is good.

yay for my room.

peach(es) + orange(s)!
What is wrong with people painting peach rooms?!! Your place looks comfy though and your room is big-go you!
