The Sun Will Come Out...

Did that just want to make you bust out singing a song from Annie? I did. :) Well the sun did make it out briefly in London last Saturday. See below for example of how pale Londoners react to sunshine:

Is That Really Sun?

Silly silly :). And now we would like to proudly present...

Sko and Joe's New Flat (aka apartment)

StaircaseThe Entrance: We are on the top floor of a 2 story building. After going through the door to our flat you walk up this flight of stairs. I luv the artsy painting on that wall.
Living RoomThe Living Room: The first thing you see when you walk up the stairs is the living room with vaulted ceilings. Inclusive of 2 futons, a gas fireplace, and lots of room for books! It's bit cold in the winter so we need to get some space heaters
KitchenThe Kitchen: To the left of the living room. We have a teeny tiny refrigerator. But it's okay since we don't cook that much anyway :) We initially didn't have a freezer, but asked for table top one so we can have a place to keep our ice cream and frozen potstickers.
Kitchen & LoftThe Loft: Above the kitchen is the greatest feature of this flat. The loft, aka lots of storage space! If you are a bad visitor, you might end up there. :) The previous tenant did have an airbed up there, but we thought it would be too dangerous at night if you had to go to the bathroom.
Bathtub & ShowerThe Bath Tub: I can imagine lounging in this thing in the summer with all the light coming through the window. Unfortunately, it is a bit tricky to turn on the hot water! Arg.
BathroomThe Bathroom: Opposite the bathtub in the same room, we have a statue of a naked lady, which I think adds a lot of character. Joe wanted to take it out, but the landlady asked him to try to lift it - Impossible! :) So it stayed. Tiling on the floor is delightful as well.
BedroomThe Bedroom: We actually do have a lot of closet space on the far wall that is not visible in this photo. It's the warmest part of our flat so we tend to hang out here most often. Complete with plants and reading lamps.

And that ends this edition of cribs :) Looks forward to your visits! Cheers!
