Yes this is our place. It isn't much but its where we gonna live fo a while. Down the road we would like to do more to make it "our home".
Australian vocab word of the day: 'FLAT' - As in "Welcome to our flat."
Flat - Aussie Apartment. Most of the time these are an everyday small to mid-sized apartments. But called both names by YWAMers who seem to have a sub-culture of our own vocab.
ABOVE: Our Kitchen/Dining room. We are lucky to have those Kitchen cupboards. Although for as much as we eat at the base there isn't as much a need for them. But they are nice for storage for future cookie making and funky coffee mugs and such.
The table came with the flat (left) with those nice chairs I got off the curb of a office building. Free--Oh yeah!
We have coffee together quite often, whilst reading, blogging, and writing to people home.. wish each of you had just a few moments at the chair on the other side. Miss you!
And those stools to the right I got at a thrift-salvage yard. One thing I have learned is Yard sales may not be the popular thing here, but recycling and upcycling is-- And that makes my little vitage color palette happy.
BELOW: Turn the corner and your in the bedroom, blink and you might miss the living room, (containing the 80's black pleather back-sweat enducing goodness couch. haha)
LEFT: Oh joy.. storage! At this point most of it is hanging storage so we would like to make it more practical by adding some shelving when we get a spare day. **Its currently filled with suitcases and several students suitcases --When all the newbies figure out they're over weight then... why not provide a way.
LAST but not least to ever be taken fo granted when in YWAM especially (community living). A bathroom, aka: 'the toilet'. In North America we say "Im going to the bathroom -Ill be right back." Here its- "Goin' to the toilet, be back in a sec." Toilet referring to the room not the piece of porcelain you make your sacrifice to. BELOW: Just a little extra. This is the park outside our window. As viewed from the other side of the park. Ive walked through it quite a few times.. but haven't had a chance to hang out in it much
Beautiful Ain't it?
Oh! and just for fun as a new reference: Our old apartment in the States -- the last time we had our own space 2008!! (notice the camera quality difference too!)
