The new pad

Arthur and I moved officially moved in together on Feb 1st. And have spent the past week making the new place a home. This would include our trip to Ikea yesterday… in which we spent over two hours walking through the store. Our house was already furnished with all Ikea furniture. So we purchased a few things to make the place feel more like home and to make it more organized.

The first picture is our new place 22 Norman Mount. It is a back to back terrace.



We live on a very steep hill, and I have to parallel park, which I am not a fan. It was my only draw back for the house. On the positive side, it was the most reasonable in price for what the house was. In other houses we saw it seems the owner would upgrade the kitchen, but then only put in a tiny fridge with an ice-box for a freezer.


As you can see our kitchen is nice, but doesn’t have much space, which is typical for UK houses. We do have a full fridge and freezer.




From the kitchen you can walk down in to our basement / cellar. Right now this just a big empty room, where we are going to store our luggage and bikes.



The laundry room is also down here… through the doorway.

If you go back up stair to the main floor then through the kitchen you enter the living room.



This is where we added the area rug, throws, pillows, DVD bookcase, wine rack, but most importantly our Colorado poster and Colorado Map.











Then you go upstairs to the first floor, we have our master bedroom and bathroom on this floor. We still need to get pictures for this room, and getting one more end table but it is almost complete.


Then there is our lime green bathroom… it is very bright, but helps wake me up in the morning.

On the top floor or second floor we have the office and second bedroom.

We are getting a duvet for this room, but have purchased pillows for the bed.



The view from upstairs is great, but hard to tell because of the snow....

That is the new pad. Hope you enjoyed the tour… oh and please come visit!
