British housing in the non-ghetto. Plus a 3 bedroom home without 2 of them being walk in closets.

Notice how there are three trashcans. They have an established eco-friendly system. The brown can is for garden waste. The blue is for dry recyclables. Anything but glass will go. The black can is for anything that is indeed trash, fish bones qualify for this catagory. I am enjoying the fact that I can recycle and not have to go out of my way to do it, or pay to have it done. Very nice.
Most homes here boast of having 4 bedrooms. What they fail to mention two, if not three, of those rooms are dressing rooms: our version of walk in closets. Our home does not have a single closet in it. We will get loaner wardrobes from FMO, which we will hang my dress and his nice cloths in. Of course a handy dandy dresser will always come in. I love this form of storage. It is beautiful and a nice focal point in a room. Talk to me in six months, to see if I still am enamored with it, but right now I like it. Plus, we found a nice little place that auctions almost anything, but cars, every Saturday. We will be making future trips to the auction to furnish our house with that cute little peice of british furniture. You can see our purchases in the pictures. The chair has the cutsest print ever. Also, use this blog as a before. Since these pictures were taken, a crafty little elf painted the kitchen in a beautiful teal color and plans on painting more rooms. Also, we have done some gardening. I did not tak any before pictures of my flower bed, since there was nothing in it execept a lone rose bush
