Moving

Contracts have been exchanged and the paperwork is in place. All being well, at month's end I'll be lady of this:

living room

Living room 2

Kitchen

Bedroom

I've been driving my friends crazy by being unable to shut up about how cool it is. (Sorry, guys: I definitely owe you a drink and/or crash space whenever you like.) But this will be where I live and work for as long as I'm in London, I think, and I am ridiculously excited about it.

I particularly like the pink floor of the kitchen!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
The pink floor is actually kind of knackered (those photos are the real estate agent's, and kind of old), but I hope to replace it with something equally funky!

WOW!

Congratulations!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! (and see you soon!!)

Woah! That looks lovely!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! *high five*

[identity profile] mirabehn.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow, it looks gorgeous! I don't blame you for being excited. :-)

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it can't quite compete with the one in your icon... but a girl can dream, right?

[identity profile] captrenault.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow. Gorgeous place.

Floorboards like that demand you get a little remote control car of some kind. ZNNNNG! ZNNNNG!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Sterling idea, sir. VRRRRROOOOOMMMM!

[identity profile] fracture242.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It is absolutely stunning hun (except for the pink floor in the kitchen, but I'm sure it will be covered in fabric and other creative materials soon enough ;) Can't wait to see it in person!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
The pink floor is actually kind of faded and stained, so I'm going to replace it with something more awesome. Maybe red?

[identity profile] badmagic.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
If the place looks only half as good as it does in the pictures, wow! And in London. Go you!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you soon. (I'm back in DC 1 Sept-15 Sept, with a brief jaunt to Atlanta...)

[identity profile] mirrorshard.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, fantastic! Very nice catch indeed.

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Many thanks, good sir!

[identity profile] rajsmith.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
We are totally coming to sleep on that couch. Congrats!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU MUST COME SLEEP ON THE COUCH. IT IS THE LAW.

[identity profile] nineveh-uk.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fabulous - what a find!

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, loveliest! I wish you success in your own househunting endeavours!

[identity profile] fairie-ring.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Smashing! It looks lovely and light too.

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the windows mostly face northeast, so kinda-sorta. But come stay soon and see what you think!

[identity profile] fairie-ring.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be lovely. When you're settled do you fancy furthering plans for a return visit to Kensington Palace in costumes?

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
OH HELL YES.

[identity profile] speedlime.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
BAD ASS!! I can't believe it's actually happening! And I TOTALLY can't wait for Thanksgiving in your new kitchen! Also I support the choice of red flooring :)

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-25 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I really hope the renovations will be done in time to have an EPIC THANKSHOUSEWARMINGIVING. If not, it can be a valedictory do at my current place. Either way, it will be fab to have you here!

[identity profile] drpaisley.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Most excellent. When we went to InterThingy (the 2005 Glasgow WorldCon) we started out in London, in a flat on Buckingham Place, between the palace and Victoria Station. I felt so at home in that city. If I had stupid money, London would be my base of operations.

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It has its crazy-making aspects like every other city, but it's definitely an OK place to live. I hope you get to come back here soon.

[identity profile] breltard95.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Suh-weeet! Or as Machaut would have said, Douce, dame jolie! If I had a plane and a pair of socks, I would totally be doing Tom Cruise impressions on that floor.

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
... Machaut WIN.

Shall i send you a plane and a pair of socks? A pair of socks? A most ingenious pair of socks?

[identity profile] esdi-leanne.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Wowza. That place looks BIG and very pretty. I'm already looking for an excuse to come down and see it properly...

BTW, I know that I asked what colours you would like in a blanket, but I have forgotten what you said and the company I buy from seem to have changed all of their dyes slightly. So, let's pretend that I'm asking this for the first time: what colours would you like?

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello my dear. How about dark blue and black?

I would love for you to come down any time. I still feel really bad about breaking our date for the Sieben gig. I'll be in the US from 1-15 September, but at any other times I would love it if you came to visit!

[identity profile] gothichaven.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 10:08 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-27 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love to see you soon! It's down in Southwark. I've not yet seen your new pad-- are you loving it?

[identity profile] miriya-b.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
WOWZA -- congratulations! Where is this delightful new abode?

[identity profile] artnouveauho.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Southwark, London. A very Chaucerian place.

I'll be in DC for about a week from 6-14 September, and it would be great to catch up with you and Mike!

[identity profile] miriya-b.livejournal.com 2010-08-31 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Chaucerian indeed! (And I'm having happy flashbacks of our trip to Canterbury now... ;) )
We'd love to see you -- let's be in touch about when, because we're actually headed to Louisville for Rosh Hashanah for a big chunk of that time (leave midday W Sep 8, come back Su evening Sep 12 -- also means we'll miss SPX that weekend, though I think Isaac will be sticking around an extra day, so we will see him). Depending on when you're coming & going, Labor Day Monday Sep 6, or evening of Tu 7 or M 13 look like good possibilities...
