New Life

Life has a way of changing and change it did a year ago. The home that I made in the earlier posts of this blog doesn't belong to me anymore and I didn't take too much of it with me.





After a year of living in Singapore, Zürich, Köln and a furnished apartment in München (hmm, seems like I like cities with umlauts in their names), I signed a lease on my own apartment and will move in a few short weeks.

I am starting with absolutely nothing other than a few kitchen things, my clothes and my dreams.



So, a few shots of the place (with the previous tenant's furniture). What to do...

Maßtisch

A long delayed decision is finally made. A couple of weeks ago we were handed a flyer for a new furniture shop on Marienplatz where they build custom Maßtisch. We stopped by and picked one out and now it is ordered! It should arrive in October.

We got the table customized in brushed oak, which may be a real pain to clean since it has grooves but we loved how it looks. The size is smaller than that shown, a 4 person or tight-squeeze 6 person table. For seating, we got a bench and two low stools so it is a more informal setup. Perfect for our small kitchen/dining area and in the future would be a great breakfast nook table.

Picture of the style we got:

Which Color?

We will arrange to have the apartment painted and I have convinced M. that we should do some color on the walls (after a year and a half) but the question is, which color??
