Through the Accordion Doors

Continuing, insha'Allah, with a tour of our apartment, we pass now through the brown accordion doors out of the foyer and into the first of two sitting rooms.

This room pulls triple duty. In addition to being a very comfortable sitting room, it is outfitted for use as a guest bedroom (note the bed on the left) as well as a study (the desk on the right). This is a pretty good shot allowing you to see most of the room, although there are some bookshelves and a bureau to the left of the desk.

All the windows in the apartment are outfitted with these fantastic roll-up blinds that are fitted to the outside of the window. In the picture you see they are lowered, allowing in only pinpoints of light. They can actually be lowered even more, blacking out the room entirely. This is a huge boon on hot days or for sleeping in.

This is the room I probably spend most of my day in, whether I'm studying or taking my after class nap. If you come to visit, this is where we'd put you up.
