Finally the Flat!

Welcome to our flat!
Here is the living room; we have three couches (the blue ones are the most comfortable) and a TV that is still not working correctly. This area is connected to the kitchen (as you will see in the next picture.)

Here is the kitchen area! The wooden door is blocking the refrigerator/freezer and then there is a microwave and oven there, as well. There is also a dishwasher, which is underneath the oven, but hidden by a door. (They really seem to like to hide the refrigerator, dishwasher, etc by making it have the same decor as the cabinets. This is done at my work, as well.) The kitchen has also become our place to do our hair because we don't have plugs in our bathrooms and the only mirrors are the two in our bathrooms. Therefore, we use the silver-looking area above the stove as a mirror to do our hair.
Here is the hidden washer/dryer. It takes about 3 hours to do one load of clothes.This is Heather's, Amy's and my room! We have four beds, so the one furthest to the right on bottom is used for more storage. We have two small closets that we use to hang things up and then two dressers, as well.And here's Amy in our room!Looking at our closets.

Here is Veronica and Andrea's room after our first cleaning day. Included in our flats is a once-a-week service for maids to come in and change our sheets and tidy up our place. It has actually been a lifesaver because the couches seem to collect dust really quickly so they would not be pretty if this didn't exist. We do all of our own dishes and laundry, though. This is Heather's, Amy's and my bathroom. This is one of the only mirrors - the other girls also have a bathroom with the same size mirror. There is not a full-length mirror in our flat at all.And here is further into our bathroom. The shower only has that half glass area to ward off water going outside of it. It is definitely an interesting take on showers.

The only room not pictured is the other girls' bathroom, which is just like ours. We have a hallway from the main door into the flat to all of the other rooms, so that adds some nice space to our area. That's it! What do you think?
