As Promised--More House Pics

Before you laugh...
Keep in mind that this IS Egypt and that there are DEFINITE differences in what is considered beautiful!

This is our front entry room--the mirrored Taj Mahal thing is directly opposite the front door. Note the coat rack with all our heavy winter coats on it. I took this picture 2 weeks ago when we were still wearing them, and now it's 100 degrees here. Anyway, there are some seriously bad tile choices throughout our whole apartment--they definitely did not visit the "new home center" when building this place--and this black and white combo is some of my least favorite. However, there WAS a huge rug in this area with King Tut's death mask on it, and thankfully, that was removed before we moved in. A framed picture of it still remains on the wall, luckily! ;)


To the right of the entryway there's a door leading to the bathroom and bedrooms. The bathroom is on the left hand side. It's actually not bad space-wise and color-wise compared to our last apartment. The window at the back opens to a tiny bathroom off our bedroom which we call Jason's bathroom. It's got a shower in it (which is worthless), a little sink, and a toilet. I haven't taken any pictures of that one, but here's the main one:


Just after the bathroom on the left is our bedroom with its lovely furniture. There are some pretty rugs on the floor, which is made out of pine, I think. I actually like the blue walls paired with the black and white...but the mirrored headboard speaks for itself.


There is also some nice crown molding in the bedroom which I think is really pretty.

Across the hall from our bedroom there's a guest room which is spacious, but not noteworthy...

Across from the bathroom is Luke's room, which is pictured in an earlier post.

To the left of the entry way is the living room, seen here with its gorgeous entertainment center. And yes, those are brown mirrored walls on the left side of the room.


Then next to the living/dining room is the studio, which you've seen before. It also doubles as Luke's playroom. That big coffee table is perfect for trains.

And last, there's my kitchen. Sigh. It is my least favorite room. It actually has lots of storage and a new refrigerator, which are its good points. The stove/oven is ancient and doesn't get hotter than 400 degrees.


Anyway, there it is, folks! As you can see, it's not a dream home by any stretch, but it is big, comfortable, and has lots of windows. We like it lots better than the other place!

Greece pics are coming soon...but Luke needs dinner so I have to stop for now!
