I took some pictures, but the lighting was weird and they didn’t turn out the best. But you can still get the idea. :-) And if you didn’t see it before, here is a floorplan of our apartment. This is the sight you see when you first walk into the apartment. There’s a small foyer, then you see the living room and the porch is beyond that. To the right, in the foyer, is a bookcase.
