Whispering - Looking nice man! You've put in some hard graft it seems.
Rowan - Looks like your studio setup has definitely come together a bit then. :)
I'll take a couple of shots when I get in. May have to do a quick tidy, had a few mates over Saturday and a lazy recovery day Sunday lol.

Thats one huge room. It's weird that you have white walls and roof. On other forums when we've had a similar topic, many in America have all sorts of weird colors, even the roof. Which is _always_ painted white here :P
Also your closet is screaming for a storage system.

Thanks. After the initial few months to make it into livable condition, its been a very slow progress. Still need to get money for the shower door and some other stuff, even though it's been 4 years already :P

Right, here we go.
Lounge/Dining room:
Hall:
Kitchen:
Studio:
Can't be arsed to get one of the downstairs toilet or upstairs landing and the bedroom is off limits. ;) Not taking pics of front or back garden either as I think that's a little bit of a security risk.

Also have a Gunslinger Girl wall scroll myself. Though don't have it displayed ATM. Only have the Haibane-Renmei one visible. Still haven't watched the second season though.

It is an ingenious idea, never seen one before lol. I suspect the same is true for most people here too as they certainly wouldn't be passing up such a good opportunity to be lazy for no reason.

we dont dry...we just use a drying rack on the side, like alot of other households:
i expect there are different reasons it never made it over here, that is space people would usually want for food storage (some of our kitchens in our tiny british houses are small enough as they are!!) and often the sink is under a window, so a window would be in the way of where the drying cupboard would be
also - surely if its wood...and you're putting damp, (sometimes hot) things in it to dry then closing the doors.. surely that creates a worrying mould problem? build up of moisture and all that because they arent airing properly..?

might as well get a dishwasher if you want to avoid the whole process altogether. not keen on the idea of the items being over each other on the finnish invention. usually we use something like what Rowan has or when we do have a lot of stuff to dry, we use the dry setting on the dishwasher. Our whole family prefers to handwash everything.

yea well we don't own this house we're only renting it. and yea most ppl even if they're renting paint the whole place up. The rest of the walls in the house are painted though. Every apt. u rent here will always come with white walls or ceilings b/c in most contracts it states that ppl moving out have to make sure that everything is as they received it, including the white walls so they won't get penalized for it. i'm not that into decorating as you can see from the pic lol. I used to have my walls full of posters and whatnot during grade school but stopped after that.
altho I am considering starting a project of kind of "framing" old t-shirts that I don't see myself ever wearing again, but that I don't want to get rid of b/c they carry some sentimental value and whatnot.
as far as the closet goes, spent $200 on some really good velvet huggable hangers and I've had a few break on me, but have also bought a tremendous amount of clothes again after college lol so I'm thinking about buying some more again. It's not really the closet it's me lol i'm terrible at organizing I never am one to put stuff back where they belong after I've used it.
@OneAndOnly lol i bought that shower curtain for when I lived in student housing for college. I thought I'd get it so it would impress my roommates and it did lol.
