My boyfriend has bought us
a place to live!! It was finalized today. He's on the phone with the bank
people right now working out the financing details.
It's right across the street from where I work. A condo apartment on the 2nd floor with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living/dining room, kitchen w/ laundry, and solarium/sun room. The building has a pool, tennis courts, saunas, exercise room. etc. It's probably about 10 years old.
The deed is in his name of course but I will pay too. I'm excited... We move in on April 11th!! We already have paint colours picked out.
Our bedroom is going to be monochromatic shades of bluey-purple (Behr 4F2 "Sweet Surprise" and 4F3 "Blueberry Kiss"), conducive for sleeping. It has a window on one wall and the bathroom and walk-in closet are on the opposite wall.
The living room, which has parquet floors, is going to remain the creamy colour that it is right now except in the corner (it's an L-shaped room) we're going to a feature wall in red (Behr 30A3 "Gardening"). We plan to have a black leather couch and silver wide screen tv, speakers, and shelving. I'm hoping to get a couple of potted plants and trees.
I haven't decided what to do with the sun room yet I need to have a space where I can do my makeup in natural lighting so I may set it up in there. At least it will be out of the way.
Since we have two bathrooms, we have two different themes all ready to go. The guest bathroom which has a shower stall is going to be the periwinkle bathroom with all the same colour of accessories. Our ensuite bathroom will be turquoise and bright yellow with the accessories that are clear with ducking swimming inside. (I'm not sure if you've ever seen them but they're SO cute!)
The kitchen is teeny but clean. The person we bought it from kept things really well and he had recently upgraded all the appliances. There is a stacking washer dryer just off the kitchen. The counter tops are a mottled red brick colour. We're eventually going to replace the kitchen cabinets because they're a little small but it will do until we can same up more money to do it properly. He wants custom made cabinets in a wood finish from Ikea but I want to build them from MDF myself and paint them to match. Yup, we'll see!
We're going to use the second room as an office/den. We need a place for the computer and he wants a display area for all his sports collectibles. We won't be painting it just yet. We need to buy a desk for the computer with a good chair too. It'll be expensive. All our cds, movies, dvds, etc, we'll be in there also so much of the wall will be bookshelf and other storage.
When we get in there, I'll take some pictures so you can see it.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!!!!! FINALLY!
