As a Belgian, I have no idea how you can just throw all the beers in this country into one category. Also, if you're a fan of Belgian beer, then why don't you drink, uh, I don't know, actual Belgian beer?

Not technology per se, but -

Main character in cop show goes to arrest bad guy with big special forces team for back up: all the special forces cops wear protective gear and helmets, main character wears sunglasses and *maybe* a backwards baseball cap.
Main offender: Criminal Minds.

Oh - and Alias always using a shot of a cobbled street to show the scene in question was in Europe. That actually bothered me more than the complete impossibility of Sydney's aeroplane travels.

Can I get a huzzah for completing this task despite working two shifts this weekend? Ok, tiny apartment kitchen - but very messy tiny apartment kitchen. No more!

We've been using a simple white Ikea rolldown shade as a projector screen for years. 15 euro for the 140cm Isdans, you can't beat that.

"the famous City Park in Belgium"? You realise it's a country, not a city right?

I was there two years ago, absolutely gorgeous garden.

That site posted above is in German, not Dutch. And if I understand correctly (native Dutch speaker, but my German is sketchy) that desk is going to cost you €789 €200 international shipping (EU & Switzerland). It doesn't mention shipping outside of Europe.
That's a lot of coins for a little desk.

God, I hated that bed :)
Though I must admit, your set-up sure beats what mine used to be.

"These are all items you won't see in everyone else's home."

Funny, since that pouf is 90% the same as the one sitting next to me right now, which I picked up in Fez, Morroco

But do the Belgians consider this "French style"???

Not really, this looks suspiciously Belgian to my patriotic eyes.

Personally, I'd go insane having only two burners (in fact, I have lived with only two burners for a year, and it did drive me mad). So yeah, for me it would be a very big turn off when looking for an apartment.

I think the chairs do more for the room than the lamp, but the after is definitely better than the before! Excellent transformation.

I second everyone else, add some colour! There's just too much white.
