The diary of a Scot in Amsterdam

New furniture

My new bedroom is extremely small. I do not mind this (it’s a lot cheaper than my last room), but decided that the best way of compensating for lack of space was to make sure that the furniture therein was exactly sized to fit the surroundings. This seemed like a good wee DIY project, but as is usually the case it kind of grew arms and legs, so to speak, and has taken me about 2 weeks to finish. I am quite pleased with the end result, which consists of a desk, a shelf above this, a long bookshelf, and finally a bed, complete with headboard as can be seen. And all of it is built from recycled timber off the street, so cost me fuck all, too.

Oh, and one other thing. The pink wardrobe is not mine, it was there when I got here. Wouldn’t be my choice. Enough said.
