We have our own apartment. It's bit old and shabby, but I'm very excited to have a place of our own that we can (within budget constraints) decorate how we want. We have two rooms each with a size of 6 tatami mats (a mat is 91cm x 182cm. We have one room set up as a bedroom, and one as a living room/office. There is also a pretty large kitchen/dining area (with a dining table to seat 1), and a bathroom with a fairly large area outside it. Yesterday, we vacuumed it out thoroughly, and re-arranged furniture, and today I went shopping for a few basic home supplies. As Hunter and I are the first married couple, we needed to buy bedding for ourselves (last night we slept on separate single futons). I bought a double set, including a double futon (thin mattress that goes on the floor), feather doona and 2 pillows for a little over $200, which I think is pretty good, considering what you'd pay in Australia. Also found nice sheet set for a reasonable price, and a few other bits and pieces. Sill need to get a few more things (such as a dining table), and some fabric to spread over shabby furniture. I'll post some photos when it's nice, Hunter has some of before and after the clean up already.
Other interesting things to note - the washing machine walks all over the bathroom in a spin cycle, and we don't have an oven :-(. Overall though, I'm very happy.
