Yep been in new flat this long now, seems to be flying by. Have not finished unpacking, not by a long way, but the main living areas are tidy.
Still undecided where to decorate the lounge/dining/kitchen area, but have had some advice. Bought a nice deep green colour , and an eau-de-nil cream to compliment it. Finding myself too tired to decorate at weekends though.
Bought some nice plants, some to sit on balcony, some for the lounge, so things are getting a little more homely. Ordered a few Ansel Adams prints to go on my wall; brief story, when i saw his famous pictures of Yosemite national park, and his use of the Zone system for exposure, it inspired me to learn photography. So some of his shots will be up on my wall soon.
It's been odd being on my own however, and when i had a long chat with a colleague this week it has only just dawned on me that i have never lived on my own before. I have always been in a relationship, rented a shared room, lived with friends etc. So it is no wonder that i feel odd.
I only really have one set of neighbours in the flat below, the 2 other flats have not sold. This side of the building has a nice view from 2 angles, looking down an avenue of trees out of the lounge, and view of fields from the side. The other flats, to my left, have neither view (I chose well), and i think this is why they may have stayed unsold.
Almost have all the furniture i need for my lounge area, just awaiting a price on a coffee table from IntoTheWoodz to match the two other pieces if have - Sculpture number one and console table .
So I'm getting there.
Nice to see you are settling in, better to buy slowly than get a load of stuff and decide its not what you really wanted.
