Progress on the apartment

After a bit of unsuccessful shopping and meeting a local celebrity, we passed by the apartment to check on the progress over there.
And there were big progress vs. my previous visit:
- the pavement at the front of the building is done. Now we can nicely walk to the entrance. No more muddy shoes :)
- the kitchen is fully finished and was amazed by the cupboards and drawers mostly because there are designed in the same way as at my parents'. I'm so looking forward to cooking and having the cutlery, spatulas and pans just below it. Even the dishwasher is ready to use. Something tells me cooking in this kitchen will be great.




- the bathroom is ready and I have to say I'm amazed by the quality of the finishing. Lot's of storage in the cupboards under the sinks and behind the mirrors.

- there will be a thermostat to manage the heating of the apartment, highly appreciated as well (and needed to save energy)
- the boiler is not in the apartment but in the small room between the 2 triplex. This means some extra space for storage by the washing machine
- the 2 toilets are ready and have water saving button
- the doors are there only waiting to be painted (in principle next week)
- the stairs are there!!! this means we could really see how they will fit in the room and also access the different floors.
- the top floor is really nice... so nice we're wondering if we shouldn't put the bed up there and transform the bedroom 1 in a dressing / reading room.
Going to the first floor...

Landlords were there as well and told us we could get the keys on Dec 15th!
