Our new digs

This was taken during the viewing. Love the bit of greenery in the terrace.



There’s a fair bit of space though it’s not so obvious from this angle.



We spent a couple of weekends just fixing up the apartment. I’ve always been a big Ikea fan but it’s in Chiba, an hour and a half’s hike from central Tokyo, so I made do with Muji, Tokyo Hands and Daiso.



View from the bedroom… Sorry I don’t have pictures of our sleeping area. I think it was fairly empty at the time, with only the sofa bed standing against the wall. I wanted to take a photo of the room with the futon laid out but I forgot…



I made Thai green curry and tom yum kung soup as our first dinner in our new pad.

I’m just slowly adding new touches to the apartment. I’m eyeing a small coffee table from Muji but I have to wait for the kangaroo to have a free moment because I don’t think I could carry it home myself.

One other quirk about our new place is our living room area is in our bedroom because there’s just so much space. The study, the kitchen and soon-to-be dining area are on the other side, which is smaller. If we have a guest sleeping over, we would have to move the sofa bed into the study-cum-kitchen. Bizarre, but it works.
