A Real Grown-Up Little Boy

#9 Saint Nicholas Street



BEFORE



AFTER



I'm all grown-up (not really) and moved into my first Big-City apartment! I'm in an old packaging factory that has been converted to residential units so it has lovely hardwood floors and exposed brick. I'm living with a good buddy from Uni and Anneli comes back from school to visit on weekends. It's really big considering what we pay and that its right down town but I think we're benefiting from the fact we're on the top floor, there's no elevator, dishwasher, and it's next to a naughty leather store!

I'm very much enjoying my new found job and independence but I must confess I'm writing this from Mum and Dad's, full of yummy pot-roast and I definitely miss the legendary Singapore Slinger's hospitality and the beach-bum life!

Pip's Top 10 Reasons for having Chairs on top of bookcases:

Reason 2.
EXTREME musical chairs

Reason 3.
Those IKEA instructions can be SO confusing!

Reason 4.
Haven't you ever heard of a High Chair??

Reason 5.
To save space in the apartment for my speeding ticket collection

Reason 6.

Reason 7.

I was reading 'Into Thin Air' and got a little carried away

So, NOW I know! Am plumping for Reason 5 as the logical one - the others are just plain silly!
