well, we're officially (almost) homeowners. and by home i mean an adorable new flat. in a cute little "villa" community (aka a set of three 4-story apartment buildings) called the The Story (how cute is that!), up a curvy, windy hill. with lots of trees. fresh air that makes your lungs smile. dirt to make mud on the tires. wildflowers. birds singing the loveliest songs. you get the idea :)
it's lovely, really. we adore the whole naturesque atmosphere and are totally psyched that's actually ours. we seriously can't wait to move in!
here are a few pics of what it looked when we signed the contract. we're having them redo the wallpaper (yes, wallpaper is such a thing here! more on the later).

▲▲▲ kitchen + living room: we love the wooden floors and open concept! during the daytime, it gets such lovely sunlight coming through the big glass doors :) ▲▲▲
▲▲▲ les toilettes: at first i thought, "oh no! colored tiles!" but the bright happy colors have actually grown on me. plus the rest of the house will be white, so that'll be a fun splash of color. and i really love yellow + green :) ▲▲▲
▲▲▲ master + baby room (yes, a baby! :): the wallpaper is going and everything will be white. the mb is actually quite spacious, and we'll be adding in the most amazing built-in closet of every woman's dreams :) ▲▲▲
▲▲▲ study/guest room: if you visit us, this is likely where you'll be staying :) it's got a little veranda off of it (which doesn't look so nice in this pic), which we're hoping to make a super cosy reading + relaxing nook. ▲▲▲
▲▲▲ le café + mini gym: this is a nice little plus, especially since getting to anything else is a bit of a hike down our windy hill :) we can't wait to cool off by the pool and sip refreshing ice coffees during hot summer months! ▲▲▲
▲▲▲ aaaaand the pool! this year the owner built just a temporary pool so that tenants could swim this summer, but next year he has plans to install a more permanent one. gotta love his happy rainbow signage :) ▲▲▲
well, that's it for now, folks! we'll be sharing more interesting cultural differences here in korea about homes and certain related traditions (and baby kim!) soon, so stay tuned. :)
xo,
the kims

ps. a few fun summer links...
this makes my mouth water every time i see it!
i've always thought horseback riding on the beach was so romantic :)
i just love these sandals + this swimsuit
the perfect hat for shading summer sun (and the company does amazing things!)
definitely have added this to my list of summer eats to try. looks sooo delish and refreshing!
this quaint little beach town that Joanna Goddard recently posted about looks like so much fun!
