Home Sweet Home - pictures

Our home for the next 2 1/2 years.

Because the countertop is cracked to the left of the stove, we negotiated with the landlady to replace the countertop with a white speckled solid surface. We think it will brighten up the kitchen. In addition, we will get a countertop to cover the wooden heating unit to the right of the picture where Mark can chop vegetables. :) Can't wait to see what it will look like in March.

The drying room off the kitchen. We now have an electric dryer, but I will probably use both the dryer and the drying room as Chinese dryers don't dry clothes very well or at least take a very long time (several hours). I found by hanging clothes here in the drying room and opening the window just a little, clothes dry overnight. The challenge came when we had overnight guests and I had towels in the washer but didn't have the dryer yet. How was I going to get sheets and towels dry for guests?

Facing north. The kitchen is to the left, opposite the coat rack.

The one bathroom

The spare bedroom and Mark's office. Ready for guests. Come see us!

 Sorry the pictures turned out so dark. The apartment is really bright with the sunshine streaming and the white walls. Now we need to find some soft textiles - rugs or wall hangings.
