You’ll be happy to know that I finally vanquished the washing machine and did two loads, so I no longer stink while I’m smiling from ear to ear. And yes, the apartment is as beautiful as the photos suggest. Just ask Mr. French Frye, who came over yesterday to see the place before we started our historic walk together. Oh, how I wish you could have joined us … but in September, perhaps? Please?!

Good luck with the laundry though – remembering your battles last time… But oh, I think I’d be prepared to crawl under the sink to do my laundry if it were in an apartment as beautiful as that. Is that seriously on the Isle St.Louis? With those gorgeous beams? Swooon…

And like you, I *love* the creative ways my space-starved European friends have found to cram in life’s little necessities. (Like my stove/oven/dishwasher combo. Brilliant!)

Love the space-saving kitchen.
I’ve had a microwave on a shelf underneath the draining board before, but never a washing machine behind the sink.
When we had a cat I converted two thirds of a double cuboard to hold two bins and the other third cuboard I kitted out with a low shelf where the cat used to jump into to eat her food … then when she was finished eating, I could close the door to keep the flies off.

But for me, that’s part of the fun — and the adventure! I’ll let you know how the clothes turn out.
