The Roman numeral looks a lot better than the “2” right? Anyway, here I am again, and surprisingly here YOU are again for more of the tour… so without further ado ….
Kitchen:
The Kitchen is sooooooo much bigger than the other flat. It still has no disposal or dishwasher (except me and Chris) but I enjoy the room. It is quite outdated, but we actually have cupboards in this flat as well – bonus!! Just a question – is is strange to have curtains in a kitchen?? Should I get something for the window besides the roller blind?
Our squatty fridge complete with collection of DIY things on top – hopefully when we re-do the Sitting Room we can get rid of this “feature” – not the fridge obviously – the collection….
The window ledge. Cookbooks (thanks Mom and Abbie), recipe cards, (the cups have gone now), and plants.
The Bathroom:
The Bathroom is a lot bigger as well. They put in the 70’s bathtub – just for us (they hate us). Chris came in the bedroom the other day and said, “Its amazing, after 5 years of marriage I FINALLY have my own shelf in the bathroom!!!”
P.S. Still no shower 
The Bedroom:
This room needs the most help – by far! But, it is second on our list so it will have to be plain and boring for now. Yes, that is a stuffed rabbit, and yes I brought it from America with me, and yes, occasionally it has a spot on my bed. So what? My life my business – right!?!?
The view from the bedroom window. The pub across the street. People think that because it is a small town that we live in, that it is nice and quiet – its not. That road has constant traffic all day and on the weekends we have all the drunks walking home from the pubs and clubs and it is NOISY. That is one downside to moving – at our other flat we were far away from the street we never heard anything. It’s a bit different now and we are still trying to get used to it.
These are more flats on top and the local take away and fish and chip shop on the bottom. Sometimes the smell can be lovely – but most the time the smell of the food – all the time, until 2:30 AM is quite sickening. Oh well!!
The car park.
The Office:
My desk – quite busy I mist admit. But, there is method in my mess.
Shared bookcase (by shared I mean Chris has a FEW books on here – the rest are mine.). Also, remember when you were little and you saw adds in the magazines for Sea Monkeys and you asked your mom and she always said no?? No, just me?? Anyway, the other month we saw a kit at the shop for a reduced price and so I got them and now am raising my own tank of Sea Monkeys (but really, that is a whole other post). Also yes, that is a teddy bear, but I have it here for a reason. When we first viewed the flat we walked in this empty room and I immediately thought – Nursery! I realize in my mind that devoting a whole room to a baby that might never be would be silly so the logical thing would be an office – and I love the office. But, I keep the teddy bear in the room to remind me that miracles do happen and that, if God sees fit, this room might not always be an office.
The view down. The office is on the same side as the bedroom so the view is pretty much the same.
Chris’ office desk area – empty compared to mine – well they do say opposites attract.
Well there you go – there is my new flat. We really do love it. There is a lot more room and Chris and I have even had to shout, “Where are you?!??!” Which never happened in the old flat. I wish I had a magic wand and could have it all decorated to my taste but I am having to learn that, as an adult it takes time. This is the last move until we move back to America (hopefully) so we want to make it as homey as possible. I am going to be re-doing the Sitting Room within the month (oh yeah, I’ll take pictures).
Have a good weekend!!!
