Our Swiss Beach House

A lot of you have been requesting pictures of our apartment. We lucked out in finding this gem of a place. When my mom came to Zurich she kept calling it "our" beach house, which I thought was really cute of her. We always feel like we're on vacation. It's an old house that's been refurbished, and it's got an amazing view. A few of my favorite things about it are the old wood floors, the bright yellow fridge (probably because it's the only normal size fridge I've seen in Europe), and the tiny bathtub, which Josh seems to hate. lol! I didn't get a picture of the office. But it's just another room. When I think of our place, I think European all the way. It's full of character.

Your place is adorable! I love how cozy and warm it feels. It's great to have somewhere nice to live...especially when you are far from America! Let's do go to lunch when you are here over the Holiday. I would love to catch up with you and just remember the good old days on Scenic Drive. Hope your family is doing well! Much Love~ Kelli
