Hey girl..
The closing is in the end of july.. and my mom, my sister and I are going to go up then to do a little scubbing and alot of painting, and I will probably move in in the middle of August. In time to start a job so I'll have a little money and get settled and know my way around by september when school starts.
hmm as for your questions, I actually think it will be perfect for me as well.. I couldn't imgaine having two people in there though.. it will be a tight squeeze.. oh yeah.
I don't have a garage, but then again I don't have alot of stuff at all. I do get a deeded parking space, in a fenced in area right outside of my condo which is great considering it is boston.. and parking isn't something in full effect around there...
and I do have a balcony which is really exciting! its pretty small.. definitly can't fit a lounge chair out there, but it can fit some flowers and a regular chair to sit out there and relax.
The kitchen is actually attached to the living room.. well it looks into it, the living room is off of the eat in counter with barstools. the best part is that the kitchen was just redone, so it is in great shape and there are hardwood floors throughout which is nice.
The bathroom however, is a different story.. its 70's mustard yellow, but it will have to work because I can't afford to have in any other way.. However, I found this great shower curtain at target with a tiny bit of mustard yellow, sage green and blue.. and we got sage green paint in attempt to tone down the flaming yellow bathroom.. my mom has years of decorating experience so she thinks it will really work...
As for curtains.. the only bad part is that there are hardly any windows in this place.. well there is one HUGE window in my bedroom, and I already have curtains for it from my old apartment from college.. and then there is only a sliding glass door in the living room, which lets in tons of light however, and I will probably try to make something cute to put on there.. however, there are blinds on it already.. (kinda boring) but will work for now..
And lastly, its a fourth floor unit.. my parents refused to let the agent even show them anything ground level.. haha they were scared about me being in the city alone.. Even though my area is really safe, they didnt' want anyone scaling the walls to get in.. typical parents, and I'm glad too cause I'd probably be scared of that as well. My old roomate and I used to sneak around the house with pots and pans because of every sound we heard.
I am pretty excited and I am looking forward to it.. especially now that I have my paint all picked out and that I can start getting things to make it look pretty.. luckily I already have alot of stuff because I've lived away from home for five years now (aside from a few summers).. but I still need to get some new and cute things..
Anyways, thats the story for now.. sounds good to me..
have you planned out everythign for your house? and the colors etc?
