Welcome to our humble abode!

We've posted photos of the house before, but we've had some requests for some "how does the house look now" photos, so I thought I'd post a bit of a tour.  It's amazing when you think that we've gone from 2 backpacks to an entire house worth of stuff in 3 weeks!

Entering through the front door - that stand will have a TV on it once Stephen gets a job :)

Our lounge room - 2 seater couch with a giant ottoman for putting our feet up.  It's usually pushed against the couch for that exact purpose as in the below photo.  That's our computer desk in the corner - I'm a big fan of putting the main computer desk in the main room because I tend to spend most of my time wherever the computer is  :)  It's nice to be able to take advantage of the view while working as well!  The painting on the wall is one that we brought back from our trip to China :)

We did of course celebrate the delivery of our new couch in appropriate fashion :)

Facing the other way - we have a computer-free dining table!

The kitchen - now with a microwave!  Unfortunately there really wasn't a good place to put the microwave without losing a quarter of our (already limited) available bench space, so it's living on top of the fridge.  Lucky Stephen is so tall!

Our bedroom - we're still missing bedside tables, but we're managing for now.  We are breaking the rule of sleeping with your head away from doors (the door in the picture is the door to the wardrobe, the entry to the room is on the same wall on the opposite side of the bed) - that white strip going around the outside of the room is the (hot water) heating, and Stephen was worried about his head getting too hot if we put the bed in the correct place (poor baby).

The bathroom looks pretty much the same - tacky bamboo shower curtain and all.  The only problem is that the shower curtain tries to attack me while I'm showering - I can't work out why, but as soon as you turn the shower on, the curtain moves in.  Short of putting the curtain outside the bath and ending up with water all over the floor, I'm a bit stuck.  Any ideas, anyone?

The second bedroom (on an overcast day) - at the moment it's just got a small table for quiet working and a bookshelf with the few books we brought with us, and our new printer (for my uni work).  The plan is to put a comfortable futon or sofa bed in here for visitors :)

Welcome to our humble abode :)

Also, as an aside, remember the last time I said it was "really foggy"?  I take it back.  This is the view facing the same way last night - and it's still hanging around this morning.  It's seriously bizarre - like living in a cloud.
