Today T.'s parents arrived with the other one of his sofas and many other things and as evening turns into night we're happily relaxing in a living room that looks far more inviting. The dining area looks really good too, and we're slowly finding spaces for most of our stuff. A mountain of boxes has turned into a smaller and far less daunting hill, but there are indeed quite a few boxes left.

It's funny to realize that every house has its own quirks and characteristics and that even a new house might require something different from the place you lived before. One of the quirky things that caught our attention when we moved here was the lack of storage space in the bathrooms, the broken roll-down curtain in the bedroom, and the number of additional lamps we need to buy since the house is so much bigger than our previous apartment.

In order to address these issues we have bought a LUPO chest of drawers and a shoe cupboard that have been placed in each bathroom and hopefully will contain all the things that need to be in a bathroom but does not necessarily need to be seen, and we plan to buy a new roll-down curtain from Rusta, as well as two reading lamps and a lamp shade for our bedroom from IKEA.
