Moved!

Well, we've moved most of our stuff now. Just the dinner table, clothes closets and the bottoms of the beds left at the old place. Which was sadly due to running out of time :(

And of the beds we do have the matrasses but well the sofabed is quite comfortable as well.. We have kind of nested in it for the moment while watching tv :) As seen on the picture below. More pictures will follow soon when I can find the camera and batteries back :p

Keys!

Well, today we've gotten the keys to our new apartment! I'm soooo happy!! I was until now constantly expecting something to go sideways still.. But no, it's really ours! :D
So, here come the promised pictures!

This is as we just got the place. So it's nothing too fantastic yet, but very good for it's age as it's not too young any more! From 1979 to be exact, so ten years older than me! :P

So, at the top at the left is the front door and at the top at the right is the outside. Nothing too special about that though.

The one on the right is the kitchen, with room for a gas stove, and a proper vent too :) The empty space on the left is for a fridge, but we're not sure ours is going to fit due to the heater and it's pipes just straight in front of the door..

The one on the left is the rest of the living room, no idea who came up with the colour scheme by the way, but they do not have taste if you ask me... Baby blue and light green?... No thanks :P So the green walls will end up white-ish later :)

Then on the right is the bedroom, very spacious :) Will have plenty of room for our stuff, and we'll be able to walk around the bed! How luxurious will that be!
Below is the other side of the bedroom, again the green and blue :s ... It also has a door straight to the bathroom from the bedroom as well as from the hallway.

Next up, the bathroom. Very nice. Could do with some more storage room though, but that will come over time :) It's got a connection for a washing machine, which I think is just plain awesome! On the picture to the left the connection fall just off it. But once I get the washer in I'll take another picture anyways :)
The washer is actually a birthday present of my parents, complete surprise! We also have a bath now! That is going to be nice now and then :)

Then we also have a nice little balcony :) It's pretty much completely out of the wind, but will get sun most of the day :) It wasn't a sunny day today though, so that will have to wait a little bit for now.

Then the view of the balcon is just FANTASTIC! As said, it wasn't a clear day, so we'll have to redo these pictures again on a clear day, because you can see nearly twice as far then! But due to being on the 7th floor, we can see pretty much all of the south of Diemen. The pictures are arranged as the view is. The first picture is when you look to the right, the middle one when you look ahead and the last one when you look to the left. All standing from our balcony.
We also can't wait to take some pictures at night, as we can imagine this will look absolutely fantastic then as well!

I have no pictures of it, but we've got some ground floor storage space as well. When you enter it's like soooo odd, it's almost a building change. It is small and damp and the numbering is all over the place. So, Dan and I have started to dub those the catacombs from now on, as even the guy from the estate agent didn't know where our storage box was. So we all ended up just running around down there, just about not getting lost :P

Either way, this is all I've got for now. I will keep on posting as we continue to work in the place and move in over the next couple of weeks.
