Pimp My Flat - Volume X

We have been officially pimped!

We are out of alpha and beta phases and into version 1.0 of the flat. Nat and Jim took the week before the house warming party (Sat. Aug 13 - blog entry to come) to get the final touches done on the apartment: a few hooks, lamps and other small items were all it took to baseline v1.0.

Now come the longer-term plans to upgrade furniture and make improvements. Need to get a new cover for the sofa, for instance, or new shelves in Nat's study. Or we're thinking about converting the bathtub in the washroom into a shower (right now it has no showerhead), and we'd like to put a skylight in the kitchen. The list goes on and on. Now the we are home-moaners, we have a different perspective on investing in the place.

Here are some pictures. These were taken the day after the house warming party.

We're pretty wired: DSL with WLAN, wireless speakers, external hard drive, and so forth - makes for a good cable salad.

Sorry, no pictures of the bedroom: we hadn't cleaned or made the bed at the time of taking these pictures. It's basically a room with a bed in it (imagine that!).

Here's a rough floorplan that is not 100% accurate. It's just enough to give you an idea of how the place is laid out:
