Our flat

Come on in! Take off your coat.





Here is our flat! Quite "cosy" isn't it? But just what we were looking for.




This is called how to decorate your tiny, boring white flat on a shoestring budget. Requirements: must be cheap, colorful, British, and easy to carry home (or part with). You might recognize those pictures on the wall. The Beatles poster reflected in the mirror was just 4 quid, and it won't likely be making the journey. The postcards strung along the far wall are vintage from Portobello, and we've been clipping theatre tickets, etc. to them as we go. We wanted the whole place to be a reminder of our time abroad.


Except this. This gem was at the vinyl store around the corner. It's 80s-tastic and we agree that Willie, Kris, Brenda and Dolly are indeed the winning hand.


You may have noticed the "Bath" sign in the previous picture. Wouldn't want you to get lost. It's just to the right of the trashcan - you can't miss it!


Here's the kitchen. Note its proximity to the bed. Hopefully never again in my life will I be able to say I bumped my head on the kitchen counter while adjusting my pillow.


Our "dining room." Just dandy for a spot of tea by the window. And a pot of violets, which I have managed to keep alive since we moved in; perhaps the English are bringing out my green thumb.

Thanks for stopping by!
