Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 3:12 pm Post subject: Apartment Photos |
|
|
I would love to see photos of various people's apartments, if possible. I'm in the process of getting my stuff together, and I like seeing pictures of how others have arranged things, what they brought, etc, so I can get some ideas of my own.
So, if you have photos of your apartment, please post them (or links to them) here!
Plus, maybe this can become a general thread/post for photos of people's apartments, so it can help others in the future. |

i don't have a picture...
but we don't have a couch, so what we did is we bought this huge pillow at Costco and a rug, and arranged a little "chillin' out" area in the living room, with a low coffee table.
adding many lamps around also creates a cozy feel, we only had ugly neon lights at first. it makes a huge difference!
i also bought some wooden boxes at homeplus (5$ each) and arranged them around to create some shelves. |

Luckily I only needed small tables and small shelves. I live near some good diving spots so the haul is short.  |

Yeah, I'm going to be on Jindo, so any hauling is going to involve buses. |

I just moved into my flat. Not big or anything to go crazy about, but, it is a lot nicer than my last one for sure. I was living in a box, working for a hagwon. I will never do that again. My new employer let me choose my own flat. It's not very expensive, it costs 450 per month. It's in Seoul, very close to the Han River so I can go swimming if I want to.
Move in day.
Moved in finally.

The last time I posted pictures of my apartment, they were removed. I don't know why. |

You have a RACE CAR KITCHEN!! I have a RACE CAR KITCHEN TOO!!
Except mine's dirty. Your apartment looks like mine but more spacious and more organized. My kitchen is in a tiny room next to the entrance to the outside (the actual outside, not a hallway). It means that I get very cold in the kitchen, and when I come in I bring all the dirt in with me.

I'll post some pics of mine tonight, too. Mine is an average hagwon villa. Not too special, but not bad after you give it a bit of love. Maybe taking a picture will give me incentive to clean the damn thing... |
