Delightful, Tiny Apartment

Okay: ask and ye shall recieve. Here are some photos of my delightful, tiny apartment. Unfortunately, they are already outdated: I went to the National Gallery this afternoon and comletely lost control in the gift shop, so I now have, um, a few more postcards decorating my room and a poster up in the living room/dining room/kitchen. Sorry, but I was too lazy to take more photos...
Anyway, this is my bedroom. I'm calling petite, not small...it sounds better. Most of my things fit in, which is the important thing. It's actually quite charming, and gets a lot of natural light. I need to get some more decorations for the walls, and maybe some sort of night stand (I'm currently using one of my suitcases), and I'm going to try to stop myself there...but we'll see how things turn out.

Another view of my room, clearly illustrating the good natural light, and the amount of stuff I have already piled onto the window sill (hence the necessity of the nightstand). My window looks out over our little courtyard--our private little courtyard. Celia and I are looking for some little chairs to go out there. I'm afraid that the courtyard's privacy is really the only exciting thing about it at the moment, but I'm on the lookout for some plants, maybe a few tasteful statues, a pond for the goldfish...

Celia's room is right next to mine, but she was napping so I didn't take any photos of it.

This is a shot of our Lilliputian bathroom--the shower, in particular. (And yes, for those of you who caught that, that was a Swift reference--he was Irish, after all!) You have to climb around the sink to get into the shower, and of course, any sudden moves in there are completely out of the question! But it works...and I'm looking for some sort of miniature shelving unit.


This is the kitchen/ dining room/ living room, of course. As you can see, we really have everything we need, most of it supplied by our friendly landlord. Okay, the empty wine bottles are ours, but you see my point. It's a very cosy and useful kitchen, fairly well designed (though the sink is a bit awkward to access). The great thing, I have discovered, about having such a tiny kitchen with so little in it, is that it takes about 5 minutes to clean absolutely everything in it!

And yes, that is a washer/dryer that you see ... please, try to control your envy. I know it is a lot to take in, but...

This is my street, as seen from outside my building. It is rather a small street, and I'm afraid it doesn't have much to make it stand out. I will say this for old Emmet St., though; it is very convenient. You can actually see our local little store, which carries all manner of essentials, just two doors down! And it's only about a 20 minute walk to the heart of the city centre, which is essential.

So, in the end, it is an excellent apartment. We're having a great time with it, and have actually spent quite a bit of time basically sitting around, admiring our apartment! I will try to include more pictures as the little place grows up (that is, fills in!).
