Now these pictures, taken soon after I moved in, show the flat looking something like immaculate, compared to the state I was complaining about so vehemently in the months before I moved out.
What you're looking at is relatively neat and tidy period that prevailed for about three months before my flatmate introduced the the hamsters, his girlfriend and other assorted piles of crap that filled up a further 30% of the living room.
My room: the culmination of 25 years of learning how to arrange the most number of things in the least amount of space (I had a small room throughout my childhood). The major challenge here was the total lack of closet cupboards (bar my flatmate giving me some of the space in his, next door). Hence the love affair with Muji storage began.
Now that I have a closet I can actually have my clothes out of sight and not hanging all over the place.
Clutterkitchen. Imagine this clutter extending to the rest of the room in the picture below and you'll get something like an image of the bric-a-brac shop I was living in in late 2006.
The miserable fish. Not long thereafter they were sidelined in favour of tall, conspicuous, rusty cages full of noisy hamsters.
