Our Flat

Finally some pictures of our new apartment. We engaged in a frantic weekend of unpacking and buying things we forgot we would need, or need just because we're in London. Most of them are electronics. Since the place is still largely a disaster area, we've limited the pictures to the areas that are relatively presentable - like the outside. We'll add more later as we continue to settle in.

First is a picture of the outside of the flat. Really does look like a converted stable.



















Next are two pictures of the Mew we live on. You can see our green doorways in both of them. Just a mere three doors down is an actual stable. There is a working stable/riding school in our Mew for Hyde park. Most days we see about 20 horses out and about. It may be a stinky summer of horse poo....but quaint right?














Now for the inside. The first is of the downstairs. It is one long room with the big barn doors on one end down to the kitchen on the other end. There are two sofas, a huge table and a bathroom under the stairs.













Then there is the upstairs. Just above the barn doors is an open room with two doors that open onto the Mew. This picture was taken from that room down the hallway to the two bedrooms and bathroom. The highlight is the giant skylight over the stairs. There are also skylights in both the bathroom and second bedroom. The upstairs is flooded in light. It's great.














We'll send more pictures as we get more set-up.
