Skene House Whitehall - Our "temporary" Home

Well, for all of you who asked (and I am sorry it is so "late"), here are some pictures of our temporary living quarters. The place is quite nice. Here is their website: http://www.skene-house.co.uk/ It is called Skene House Whitehall and is located on the corner of Rosemount and Esslemont Streets. It is about a 1/2 hour walk for Mark to work, 15 minutes further than our house will be. He actually walks right pass it on the way to Marathon.

We are in building #8, room #12. It has three bedrooms, two baths, a lounge and kitchen. I will try to walk you through it with the pictures...

Here's the lounge... if you go out the door you see...immediately to your right (behind the big mirror you see) is the big bathroom.

Bigger of the two baths with shower/tub, toilet and sink.

Another view...going out this door, immediately to your right ( the "closed" door you could see in the lounge picture) is the "master" bedroom.

Looking in the door of the "master"... has wardrobe, chest of drawers, bed (UK sizes are way different that US sizes, Mark's feet hung off the bottom...mine practically did too), desk and little night stands.

The wallpaper and curtains were the same pattern! :) It grew on you, trust me...it is very European.

Our bed, this is considered a "big" bed...the closet you see was about 7 inches deep, pretty useless.:)

Going back out our bedroom door straight ahead is the smaller bathroom and taking a right, there is the entrance into the flat on the left and another bedroom on the right.

Here is the small bath...shower, toilet and sink.

Here is the double bedroom. Landen and Trevor stayed in here.

The far bed was Landen's and the one closer to the window was Trevor's. There was a wardrobe, two chests of drawers, and a desk.

Back to the lounge, the center of the flat...I am standing in the doorway of the first lounge picture, looking in the other direction. The door on the left hand wall is another useless closet. It was about 7 inches deep and stored the ironing board. The closed door next to the window was the other bedroom. An the door that is open, is along the right hand wall and is the kitchen.

Cameron's bedroom. It had a wardrobe, bed and chest of drawers also.

And, last but not least, here is the kitchen. It was small, but served us fine. The two small things under the counter are the refrigerator and freezer.

It had a hob (stovetop), oven, sink, frig, freezer, microwave and dishwasher.

It was obviously a lot smaller than we are used to living in, but it was fine. It served the purpose and there was breakfast every morning downstairs. That was a perk I loved...one less meal I had to cook and clean up after...:)
