Home owners...

So the saga has finally come to an end. Yesterday we signed our lives away, at least for a while. We are now the proud owners of a flat in Berlin. The building directly behind where we live now, one floor up and on the opposite side. So we'll have a view of the Fernsehturm and the Berliner Dom:

The place is 100m2 (so twice as big as where we are living now) and is currently decorated in the quaint DDR (East German) style of 25 years ago (read it's a hole). I'm sure that at some point Baby Poo Brown (BPB) was in, but it sure as hell needs to be out now:

There's a lot we need to do to it to make it how we want it, some walls need to come out, some other walls need to go in, the floor has to be redone, a (new) kitchen and some changes to the bathroom. Not to mention actually buying furniture, plates, towels, etc... Somehow we get the feeling that this is gonna be a bit like building the shed before we left Australia...

Here's a few pics of the current setup, the guest bed (yes that's a hunk of foam duct taped to the floor - WTF?), thankfully neither the old kitchen or the BPB wallpaper are very well attached:

So this is roughly what it should look like before and after:

Wish us luck, or drop by and give us a hand ;-)
