My first own appartment

Coming back to Sweden after more than a year i Australia I got my first apartment that was not rental but actually mine to do what i wanted with.

Generally I really liked it with its four big windows, but apart from needing to be repainted there were two issues that bothered me about the space. First, the single room had just a few to many odd corners, and secondly I had gotten used to the comfort of a separate bedroom while living spaciously in the tropics.

To me the answer was simple, building a wall. This solved both problems as the main room got a more pleasant shape while a small bedroom was created. And that´s how I ended up living in a 2-room apartment of 27 square meters.
