My Apartment

I live on a great street that is really central to everything (If I'd thought about it, I would have taken a picture of it today. Next time). Its bracketed by two squares, Place Jourdan and Place Flagey. It is about 20 minutes from school, about 10-15 minutes from work, 20 minutes from Cenquantenaire and that area, 20 minutes from Avenue Louise, etc. As I've explored Brussels lately, I've come to appreciate exactly where my apartment is placed!

I live in the basement level of the building. When you first enter, you walk down some stairs and immediately into our living room.

It looks dark, but that is because I didn't turn on the overhead light. Whoops!

We call our living the "boardroom," because as you can see, we have these black leather recliners (with matching footrests!). I actually really like those - I sit in"my" recliner to do homework, to get on the computer, to read, etc.

"My" recliner is the one in the back left :)

The next room in the apartment is the first bedroom, where Theresa and I sleep! It serves as a bedroom and a hallway to both the bathroom and the back part of the apartment. I like our room, its nice and cozy.

My bed is the first one

The door opens to the bathroom. Also fun sidenote: One of Tri Delta's emblems is the dolphin. Apparently Tri Delts were supposed to live here, because the rug between mine and Theresa's beds has dolphins all over it, and the bath mat in the shower has dolphins on it as well! Fitting for me and Cameron, I supposed! :)

Path to the rest of the apartment (and our wardrobes)

Attached to my bedroom is the bathroom! In Hungary, I quickly got used to the detached shower head. I actually missed it when I was home. Thankfully, my NEW European bathroom has one too! :)

Yes that is a drier. Fun fact. The washer is in the kitchen, and the drier is in the bathroom!

The next room is a combination bedroom/kitchen. Allie and Cameron's room is seperated by a curtain. I didn't take any pictures of it, but its back there! :) The kitchen is great! Its a good size, plenty of storage, and you don't need a lighter to start the stove! :) There is a huge fridge, a tea kettle, and lots of supplies for cooking. There's also a pathway upstairs to a patio that we technically share with the girls upstairs, but we haven't gone up there due to the weather (its either been cold, rainy, or both) and our busy schedules!

The kitchen (pleae note the washing machine)

The last image of our apartment that I want to post is interesting. We have two large de-humidifiers. We have to empty them out every night because they are filled to the brim after barely 24 hours. I DO NOT want to know what our apartment would be like without these machines!
