YIPPEE and YO HO HO we have finally got the keys to our new house - happy happy, joy, joy as Stimpy would say hahah.We are the very proud owners of the Alexandrine Tinnehof 5, 1087 CM in Amsterdam!
On Monday 10th July it happened; we went over to the offices (converted container) of the developer (Era Bouw) to meet Mr Bes, whom Martijn instantly took a dislike to haha, we had a bit of a chit chat while waiting for the inspector … once he arrived – I don’t know his name but he was wearing all black in sweltering heat and not sweating therefore I think he was an alien – we headed out to inspect the house before taking receipt of the key!
The kitchen has been placed and looks pretty cool – we have the funkiest lights touch-tone – just one soft touch and they go on and another soft touch and they’re off haha can you see me touching the lights for a full 10 minutes?
Oh the painter also came by to check things out and probably see how much extra he can charge us – cynical? Who me? – Anyway he seemed a nice enough guy, a true Amsterdammer hahaha with tattoos absolutely everywhere – I’ll see if I can get some shots of Jan to share with you all …. We start the work on the place soon; I’ll keep you updated on the happenings!

Congrats Van Rooijens... well done!
But, what's with the preppy look man? I can understand the Mart - now not only the mother, but Scott too!! Is this the new Van Rooijen Ijburg vibe? Yacting set - like that y'all!
That damn Scott is so adorable - I can just see him biking along the fietspad and scrambling into his little boat on the canals (with Jilani in tow).
Enjoy and may you spend many good years in your abode!
Hey Zelle!
I've just been checking out your blog and the photos of you, Martijn & Scott over the past little while! You sound sooo happy, I'm thrilled for you :)
love,
Jeannie
