Ok, so this is a narrow shot, but you can at least see where I sleep. I wasn't quite sure how my room was furnished before I got here, so I was just really hoping that I wouldn't be spending the year on a twin sized cot. My room is something like 3x4 meters thought I haven't measured. I've got a dresser and a wardrobe, a nightside stand and a window. That's about all I need. The sun rises on the other side or the house, so I can leave my shutters open and get some indirect morning light without being blinded. As you can see in this shot. I have my own bathroom just next to my room, which is nice, and the guest room is across the hall. Around the corner is also another spare room.
This is my favorite, It's the view from the guestroom (ah-hem... the view my guests get to wake up with). It's even more gorgeous at night, there's a light from below on the left side of the bell tower and it just glows against the night sky. This church is even prettier up close. Maybe I'll post some photos of the city soon. FYI, I'm in the Etterbeek (not Itterbeek) region of Brussels if anyone has looked at a map.
This is about half of the backyard. It's a bit small, but really pretty. You see the geraniums (I think, I'm no good at botany) here in the window box and there is a small olive tree just 'round the corner, a handful of evergreens that their cat Miche loves to skulk about under. There's some ivy running up and along the brick wall there. It's a favorite of one pigeon in particular who like to nestle down in a bit of ivy on chilier days. He's a funny looking little bird and drives Miche nuts! (she's way to fat to actually catch anything but she still dreams)
This is the kitchen and small dining area/breakfast nook/sun room? Europeans, go figure! So efficient with space I can't even name a room. haha There's a proper dining room near the front of the house that's normally used as a coloring table. The window just next to the stove looks out onto that same bit of garden above. Most of the rest of the backyard you can see through the sun room.
Finish up the abbreviated tour in the living room. It's a living room...watch out for the hot wheels littering the place. I nearly stepped on one the other day in the basement while i was doing laundry! Can we say 'who remembers Home Alone?'Ok, I'm done. You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here. G'night folks!

man, i was just in your room a number of days ago, and in my mind i had placed the church view from your bedroom window. i watched a show on discovery yesterday about the way that the brain processes visual images, so i now understand how this happened. p.s. i see you cleaned up for the photoshoot :) coincidentally, that is why i don't want to use a webcam... don't want to clean up every time i make a phone call :) hope you are enjoying paris!!
Wow. That shot of the dining table in the sun room is awesome. Looks like it should be in a magazine. At our camper our dining table is surrounded by windows but no where near as classy as yours. Still, I love eating bathed in light.
