In Dutch, schattig means cute and huisje means little house. A friend of mine used the words to describe my new place, and it's an apt description. It's also the first time in my adult life that I've rented a house unattached from any other building. Although it's more than big enough for 2 people, it's still fairly compact, which contributes to it being cute. For those of you living in North America, it'll look like a pretty typical house, but for those living in the Netherlands, it's quite a bit different.
The following gives some pictures of the house so that you have some idea of what it looks like, at least until you can (hopefully) come visit in person. Half of the kitchen is missing (it was messy), as is the quite large (but dirty/dusty) basement. Furthermore, most of the living room is missing, as it's missing furniture. We'll be getting some eventually, but if you're more than welcome to help us with that, if you'd like :)

| kitchen (2) - thanks to Bette and Diego for the table! |

The only shelving at the moment - in the future, it will hold the games and knick knacks, but now it's a book storage space.

| Bedroom - the closet will be much more full when Matthijs and his stuff arrives |
 |
| Bedroom - note the cat window and a lovely dresser from Bonnie and Jim |

| Front bedroom,
aka Matthijs study and/or the spare room. Thanks to Blythe and Pete for
the lovely orange curtains! (and the other ones that you've seen
previously) |
And since we have all these lovely pictures, I thought I'd also include an extra one : Jerry meeting a squirel in front of the neighbour's house.
