I made another offer......

I made another offer on a house yesterday....the other one is still pending and I've continued to look. The funny thing is this house is in the backyard of the other house......must like the neighborhood! Cameron loved it and already made friends with the neighbors.

Living Room (the fireplace appears to be floating....it needs a little work)

Kitchen


Master Bedroom


Backyard



I like both houses for different reasons. Here are the pros for this house:
  1. it's in a cul-da-sac
  2. 1100 square feet instead of 884
  3. they made the 2 car garage a 1 car garage and now it's a big play room
  4. the kitchen is not a hallway and actually has a little seating area off of it
  5. the back porch is covered
  6. it has sky lights
  7. hardly any flower beds to weed :)
  8. Has an alarm system
  9. laminate flooring throughout...which means only 1 room needs carpet (the play room)

The cons:

  1. has metal windows
  2. no fridge
  3. needs paint (this is a given)
  4. the fireplace is missing the hearth

I will find out tomorrow if they accept my offer!!!!!!

I think I found the winner.....

I have fallen in love with this chair.....stopped by Stupid Prices today and look what I found. I can get all three piece set for less than $1000 (ok, it's $999)! What do you think about this? I think it screams me!!!!

This is the love seat!!!!!!

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!!

Which couch do you like?????

Cameron and I spent FHE couch hunting...fun for me and so so fun for him. We pulled up in front of the furniture store and Cameron said, "look mom it's Mor Furniture for less!" I think he watches too much TV. I was not too excited about their selections. I want a chocolate brown couch--how hard is that?
I want to hear what you think.........my end tables/coffee table is brown/black wood. This couch is $499 but not the color I was thinking. Do you think I should go with this color since my tables are so dark or would chocolate work?

or what do you think of this one....it's $599???

I need interior decorating HELP!!!!!

An offer has been made...

I really, really, really, really, really, really want this house!!! I made an offer yesterday and now the waiting game begins! It's on a short sale so it's going to take 3-4 weeks (maybe longer) before I hear anything. I've put it in God's hands and if it's meant to be then I'll get it and if not then I'll keep looking. I'm trying to keep this attitude so I don't cry when I don't get it!

Here is the living room....I just love the tile work. It's a small house and it needs a little work....all the walls and baseboards need to be painted, new carpet in all the rooms, and there is no fence on the right side of the yard. Any takers on painting???

Here is Cameron's new backyard...it's a perfect size!!!

Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!
