PISO!

So here is our apartment (piso) so far, however, it is still a work in progress, we need more art! Feel free to send any pictures you would like (with yourself in it of course) to add to the decor, picture frames, or other art you deem appropriate :)

So this is the entrance hallway


Act as if you just entered the front door, the door, not the one I'm standing in to take the picture, but the one at the end of our view. Now if you entered that door, you would see a door on your left, this is the kitchen. 


Entering kitchen. To the right, inside the kitchen is a little two seater table where we enjoy lovely little breakfasts hahaha


On this table there used to be a super cute, lime green, table cloth that accented the brightly colored runner you see to the right. 


More kitchen. Outside the frosted door you see, is our washing machine and sink. 


No room for a dryer, plus it's not common in Europe to have a dryer.


This is common, for there to be a sort of courtyard area, where the back of everyones apartments face each other. (but there is no courtyard at the bottom, that is some one's backyard or patio if you will). Here is where everyone hangs their clothes to dry, notice our blue lines for drying. 



Oh, Look Down!!! There is our super cute (NEW) tablecloth in the downstairs neighbors "backyard". It must have fallen after being hung out to dry! Hahahaha greaaaat....


Now act as if you are walking back out of the kitchen, toward the front door. You are now standing in front of the front door, looking through the entrance hallway into the living/dining room.



Dining Table 


I made dinner tonight!


This is the rest of the room.



The TV was left behind courtesy the old woman who used to live here.


The couch pulls out into a full sized bed for guests! Come visit us!!!


We're now looking back from the opposite view. See the door on the right? We're about to go through it!


When you open the hallway door there are three rooms, one to the left (the office), one to the right (the bedroom), and the one directly in front of you is the bathroom.


Next to the toilette is a bidet, which I am not accustomed to using.... So.... seeing as we have limited space in the bathroom, I decided to put a table over it, use a basket for towels, and added some height to the lowness of the toilette by adding the plant. The tablecloth I made myself, FIRST! and Proud :)

Now for the bedroom. 


Our view is awesome





My closets, and across the hallway is the office, where Jannik spends a lot of his time studying and where his built in closets are.




That is it for now! It is very clean and tidy and cozy and we love it. We are looking forward to our next visitors, Jannik's sisters Jill and Sarah <3
