這個網友好像有許多的畫作，想到詹老師也約我們動工後去他家畫畫，有點興奮了！生平第一次畫油畫，就是要為自己的家留念，酷唷！

overdue sneak peak

I finally got around to taking some photos of my 'new' apartment. I've been here for two and a half months now and things are coming together and feeling 'homey'. Lucky me - I'm renting this great space from a friend of mine for a steal! The furnishings are all mine and after some rearranging, creating, and hanging, I finally feel content to curl up on the couch with some tea, a good book and the fire going - without feeling like getting up to rearrange things yet again. So, enough of the talking. Here are some visuals and descriptions of my own little space on this planet...

Welcome! This is my entrance way - great big closets for shoes and coats and cat food :) To the left of the door (but unseen in this photo) is another skinny closet with a stand up clothes washer and dryer - one of my favorite things about living here! No more coin laundry - yay!

When you enter the apartment you can walk straight ahead to the eating nook and kitchen or turn right to walk into the living room and access the stairs to the loft...

外國人好愛這種小邊桌，可以擺照片、裝飾品、蒐集品的。感覺很不錯，家就是家，什麼會讓你心情好的東西，就該擺出來，而不是放在櫃子里收著。 ps 這裡出現了IKEA的燈

The living room is the 'heart' of my home - it's where I curl up on the couch to read, it's where I use my laptop, it's where the cats stretch out in front of the fire, it's where I hang out with my guests. It's also 'home' to most of my books (on my makeshift 'bookshelves'), my solitary plant, my dumpster-diver-find-turned-coffee-table and my blank canvases (hung up on either side of the fireplace awaiting divine inspiration ;)...

這個沙發好眼熟阿！Francfranc好像有在賣！皮沙發會冷冷的，他還鋪了像棉被一樣的座墊，我們看起來好像很搭，其實這只是作者反應他的身活需要，家就是該這麼樣子。

上樓梯前，這個貓可以休息的地方不錯唷！


And up the stairs to my sleeping and 'grooming' nook...

(sleeping loft - the thing in the corner is a little cat bed which is never used. Why would they sleep in that when they can sleep on my bed? What was I thinking?)

這個老外真幽默，所以根本不用幫貓買床，他們一定不會睡的！這些貪得無厭的傢伙！

IKEA燈再度出現

再來一個小邊櫃，除了放置衣物外，也可裝飾得很可愛。
(and last but not least, the bathroom)

The bathroom: if I were concerned about looking really coordinated, I would have hung up my ivory-coloured towel that matches the shower curtain, but instead I'm just going to tell you that the blue towel is my back-up towel and it's what was hanging up when I took the photo (and yes, I acknowledge my geek-factor by caring ;).

And that's my sneak peak - thanks for coming!
