In Oktober, we came to the conclusion that me and hubby should move in to our own apartment again, while it is more expensive to rent out our own than to share it, we needed our own space.
We had a few ideas what we could pay and what we needed, and thankfully, we found a few apartments that suited our needs, some were the same layout just in different buildings, so we could weed out quite a few like that.
We choose a nice little place, very similar to where we were before, but closer to the city center. Still looking down to a park and have a little creek on the other side. Hubby is close to his main work area and I am close to shops and the post office.
My main concert during hunting a new place was a fully renovated bathroom and kitchen. Those are the things that we longed for since we started looking 2 years ago, and those are the things that usually get left out of renovations at our price point. The other must have was at least 2 rooms, one living room and one bedroom, that had a door. We were lucky and found a really nice one, it’s on the 8th floor, has one huge living room, a decent sized bedroom and even a little storage nook where I can store my fabrics.
I think we unpacked for a week at least, slowly getting from the most necessary to the things that are just put away and will come in handy one day stuff. My dolls spent a week in their carriers too but I’m glad to say none were harmed during the move.
The only issue with the place were the windows, it had an old set that was very unstable, plus some parts of the blinds. Glad to say that that is all take care of now, we have all new windows and all falling hazardous stuff has been removed~
