This weekend I decided it was time to take some pictures of our little apartment, especially before the baby comes and I don't feel like cleaning or taking pictures of my mess :)
As I've said before, our apartment is 400 square feet; the whole apartment measures 20 x 20.
The owners built this little cottage in their backyard, which makes it nice and cozy and secluded.
Here are few pictures of the apartment, I didn't take pictures of everything (closet, cupboards, bed) because I honestly couldn't find enough space to position myself to get a good picture of it, or it just wasn't worth documenting.
Some things I LOVE about the apartment:
- high ceilings
- lots of windows--one whole wall is completely glass
- stylish design--window coverings, furniture, bathroom
- outside view--tall trees, bushes, flowers
- flooring in bathroom--it is made of wood slats that drain easily, which is great since there is not an actual shower, just a head sticking out from the wall (see picture below)

| you can literally sit on the toilet (which is on the right) and take a shower at the same time! |
 |
| as you can see, the wooden floor is actually a large drain, and the walls are completely tile, so you can get the bathroom as wet as you want! |
 |
| On the left you can see some evidence of our unmade bed, and on the right (which you cannot see) is a large desk area with a flat screen TV and tons of cupboard space. |
- no oven
- mini fridge that can fit only 3 days worth of food
- no bathtub (postpartum recovery is not going to be as pleasant)
- bed that is completely cornered between 3 walls (Aaron has to crawl over me in the night)
Overall, we love our little cottage! There are a few things that aren't so great, but they are easy to live with for 3 months. It's interesting how much you can simplify and live without.
Love it! We are going to be taking some very cute pictures in that room :)
