My Newest Purchase

Well, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do one of the
biggest things ever. I purchased my very first home. It really
happened quite quickly. I wasnt really looking at buying. Where
I was currently living, my roommate was getting married in May
so I was going to have to move out anyways and I had decided
that I wanted to live on my own again, so I was trying to decide
whether I wanted to rent or buy so I was just surfing the net to
see what was out there and out popped this place. That happened
on the Monday and by the Friday, I had put in my offer.

Below is the picture of my kitchen. When I got it, it was a mint green.
That had to definitely go and I have ALWAYS wanted my red
kitchen so I finally got it.


The next picture is taken from my front door looking into the
rest of my place. The living/dining room. Its a pretty small
place but it is really comfortable. It has a nice fireplace and
balcony. I still have to get a picture for above my fireplace. It
drives me nuts to see the empty spot above the fireplace but
I want a particular picture so I have to be patient.


The next picture isnt all that exciting. Its just my bathroom.
That room was painted a peach/yellow colour. YUCK! So I
painted it a nice taupe/brown colour. Well, I didnt paint it.
My dear friends who actually enjoy painting, did it.


I would show you my bedroom but its not that exciting. Its
really small and its pretty much just my bed in it.

So there you have it. I am now officially part of mortgage land.
Not quite sure how I feel about it but it is pretty cool to own
something and to have some sort of investment.
