This post is about our new apartment. It's not very big but very beautiful, recently renovated and cozy. It's exactly the right place to be 'burgerlijk', like we are - there is absolutely no way to translate this Dutch word into English without having to describe it by a complete sentence, like 'gezellig'. To clarify its meaning in English it literally means 'civilian', as it does in Dutch, but in this the following meaning is implied: 'dull and uninteresting, the way couples and families get when they settle and get a very regulated life'. And I love it!
Anyway, I promised to post something about our casa and, as actions speak louder than words, here are a few photographs:
The little door
The view from inside our courtyard
The gallery with its typically Milanese railings
The dining room
The dining room from the other side with the mezzanine where we sleep
The petite kitchen
