We're under contract!!!
A little starter home for a little starter couple, how lovely! We're looking at a closing date of September 30th, so things are gonna be moving quickly from now until then. We're sooooooo ready to be first time homeowners! Carlton is ready to have a computer room (no more computers in the living room). I'm ready to decorate a home (we still only have a door and two filing cabinets as a friggin' desk, Carlton's gross-ola blue-ish gray college sleeper sofa, and not to mention we're using our coffee table as a television stand, so sad).
We'll have a Christmas tree window right in the living room up in the front of the house (one of my requirements). We'll have a huge back yard for Vespa to romp around and bask in the sun. We'll have a walk-in closet and a kitchen that I can move around a little and fix up on a budget (because right now, the kitchen is funky and as soon as I get better pictures of it, I'll write all about its... quirkiness). There's also plenty of space and an extra bathroom for guests, so anyone can stop in overnight on their long drive down to Florida!
On an afternoon drive at lunchtime today, Carlton and I drove past the house. They're having a "Moving Sale" this weekend!!! I'm seriously considering stopping by tomorrow after church to see what items she's selling because she's got some great stuff... would I be able to keep the secret that we're the home buyers as I talk with her? I think her little hutch in the dining room might be worth the risk.
I love it!!! And are you kidding me?! OF COURSE go to the moving sale!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! The layout seems like it has a good flow. A walk in closet will be so nice (wish I had one!) and those hardwood floors look great.
ReplyDeleteI love her decorating choices ... seems like the UGA flag inspired a lot of the living/dining room! I love all that red and black, and esp. that distressed coffee table!
oh my gosh! Starter home? Ummmm not!! It is perfect! 3-bedrooms is big enough for anyone unless you are thinking about staring in your own "Carlton and Trish plus 6"! I mean really! It is adorable, I would def. go for that hutch. It fits perfectly in that spot and she ain't gonna need it in her new house anyway. ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteI love it and congratulations to you both! This is such wonderful news! From what I can see the hardwood floors look fantastic and I would go to that yard sale! She needs to sell and you need to buy! Match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteHey liked my starter so much I am still in it, and just paid it off! Nothing wrong with a 3 bedroom, and you have 2 full baths!! More than my 1 and 1/2!! Soooo happy for you. Enjoy every moment, and wish I had hardwood floors. Congrads on your decision
