Moving out: update

Okay, so the apartment was indeed as awesome as I’d hoped!

Since the apartment starts on the first floor and not the ground floor, I was kinda worried about cats and keeping them. Although there are often no problems with having cats inside all day, I’d prefer to see them go outside as well. This apartment has an open flight of stairs going down where cats can easily pass. In the room next to the front door the previous owners had installed a cat door, one of those things where you put a magnet on the cat’s collar and it opens when the cat arrives. They have two of those collar thingies, and they allowed me to take over the entire set. It was precisely what I’d hoped for.

Apart from the (imo) hideous colours on the walls, which will need to be painted over, the house is in a very decent shape. The wooden floor isn’t brilliant anymore (old), but will still function for a good while until I can afford a floor. The top floor has cork floor tiles, which look better than the wooden floor. There’s a tiny toom at the front of the apartment that I can use as an office, it will suffice just fine. The kitchen has a few extra cabinets I can also keep, and it is possible to have a dish washer there. The balcony is spacious and it faces the south so I can get a nice tan during summer. The bedroom… I have no words. My current bedroom fits in it at least twice. I intend to make it two bedrooms or at least separate the two parts using a curtain, since that will give me another space I can use for pretty much anything. The previous owners made a custom-shaped shower curtain which can hang from the roof-side of the bathroom (check the pictures for it; I’m having trouble explaining this but it looks awesome!). I can keep all the curtains they installed, since they have no use for them anymore (that saves me a ton of initial costs). The complex has a very decent-sized storage space per apartment, in which, at the time of viewing, were two bikes and a whole bunch of junk which fit easily.

Check out the pictures on my gallery for a nice look of the place, I’ll post more once I get the keys and start working on it. If everything goes OK, I’ll have the keys on tuesday. So wow, that’s fast!

I’d also like to make some requests. I still need a few things, and it would be great if anyone can help me with them.

• Closets: I absolutely need a bedroom closet, otherwise I’m not that bothered yet.
• A refrigerator
• A couch
• A table and some chairs
• Possibly a dishwasher (I’m spoiled)

Most other things I have, thanks to having moved out before and thanks to my grandmother, who left me a coffee table, a microwave and a washing machine among other things.

Oh, and next weekend I start painting! I pay in beer and food, everyone’s welcome ^_^
