Love this balcony and view
This little room is intended to be a dining room but when Andrew and I saw that it had doors and could be closed off we immediately knew it would be Esme's room. The flat has only 2 bedrooms officially but I don't know what we would have done without this other room option for Esme. She had such a hard time sleeping through the night when we first moved here.
The kitchen table changes location based on whether or not we have visitors, but this is the place that works best. You can imagine that it gets a little cramped when we pull the table away from the wall and everyone is eating (also we move in the high chair). But setting and clearing the table is a breeze and we can usually reach everything we need in the kitchen without even standing up. Little perks. Also notice the little washer/dryer on the left side of the counter. People here know how to use every inch of space.
Now for the 2nd set of photos. We had to tidy up because the flat is being "shown" to prospective new tenants. So here are the photos after a some cleaning (and rearranging):
Just imagine this room completely covered in legos and you will have a more realistic idea of what it looks like in real life.
Out of the last 4 places we have lived, three had retro bright-coloured porcelain in the bathrooms. It might be a "must-have" in the next place :)
That is a tea maker in the corner btw. It came with the flat (supposedly it is an essential appliance in England). It gives me boiling water in 30 seconds flat and I use it all the time.
That, my friends, is the dumbest broom in the whole world and it is the only kind of broom I can find in this country. Someone needs to introduce them to skinnier brooms.
On the left wall you will notice a chore chart that started with SUCH HIGH HOPES...but alas, we failed. One day I will find the will to try again.
Haha, in real life we would never put a rug underneath a table like this. So many spills...
