Day 98 -- Our "permanent" apartment



I have received numerous requests to see our new place.  This past weekend with Collin away, I worked hard to get the place in order.   So here you go!  We'll start with the outside.  We live above an Italian restaurant and a pizza shop. Our windows are the 5 on the left directly above the restaurant (1st floor for those of us in Denmark, 2nd floor according to you Americans)


Starting at our front door:
Entry way (Yes, mom, I have a bike helmet!)
 First door on the right is the tiny tiny bathroom
View of the bathroom from the door looking right...Shower and toilet 
View of the bathroom from the door looking left...sink and washer/dryer
 First door on the left is the third bedroom which we are using as storage.  It still needs some work but looks MUCH MUCH better than it did a few days ago.  You can now walk in there, and dry clothes in there!


Notice the new wardrobe courtesy of IKEA

Hopefully the movers will return this week to take away these empty boxes.  
Continuing down our entry way we have the kitchen on the right and the living room straight ahead.  First for the kitchen...

Our oven, which is opposite the sink and not visible in the other pictures

Now for the living room...if we would have continued straight from the entry instead of turning off into the kitchen

View from doors to dining room..more boxes that need to be thrown away

Happy Easter!

Now on to our dining room.  I apologize for the mess.  It has become my office while I work from home this week.

From the dining room we can enter the second bedroom/guest room/office/Collin's clothes storage

This desk ALMOST made me swear to never buy anything from IKEA again.  But it is standing now.  and yes, the leg on the right is crooked but I have since fixed that.

View from the 2nd bedroom window...more of the Italian restaurant eating area

Home for Collin's clothes.  Pretty, huh?  (he picked it)

And finally on to our bedroom.

View from window...that' the second bedroom you see through the door

My wardrobe...considerably nicer than Collin's...but still IKEA

View from our bedroom window...that's a little grocer across the street.  Haven't tried it yet

And that concludes our tour.   Hope you enjoyed it.  We are open to visitors any time!

    Loved the pictures of the new apartment...it lovely, spacious, and well decorated (views are great too). You've done a lot in a short time...all ready for Charlie's arrival.

  2. I would like to add that I chose that wardrobe based on price not appearance. I am very un-Danish in this way.

  4. I just wanted it to be clear that YOU chose it and I did not force you to get the cheaper one while I spent more money on mine :)
