I particularly love how it has a garden - and a shed! I've been longing to have something green and to be able to get out and enjoy the sun (when it finally shows up) so here's hoping it gets a bit of sun throughout the day. It's still in South London and close to all the transport links etc. we need (well, that I need, not Adrian on his bike!) and should hopefully be a place we can settle into for a little bit. We move in this Saturday - can't wait!
I also recently won tickets to the opening night of the Affordable Art Fair (£25 per ticket - score!) which we went to last night and we celebrated our new flat by getting two prints to hang on the walls. The first is a Graham Carter print (he's based in Brighton) and you can see it as the first picture to the left on this link - it's the one of the panda made entirely out of birds. It's reasonably large (bigger than A4) and we bought it just as a print so we'll need to get it framed.
The second is a print of this painting of the Battersea Power Station by Jayson Lilley (a graphic artist from Devon). We looked at possibly getting the original painting (maybe A2 square, so quite large), but at £860 or so it was quite a big investment! Instead we've got a limited edition print which is quite a bit smaller (maybe only 15cm square) but box framed which looks really cool. The power station is not far from our house so it should fit right in.
I can't wait to hang them on the wall!
