I love our condo. It’s so great – such a blessing. It’s not very big, but it’s brand new and it’s ours and we’re trying to make it more ours every day. Tyler’s at work tonight, so how about a tour?
One Saturday during a rain storm we painted the kitchen. Yellow. It’s different but growing on me. We stayed up until 1 a.m. another night painting the living room “brown tepee.” Good, tired memories.
And we got gift cards for doing this study at work (sold our bodies to science), so a few weekends ago, we turned our bedroom green. (ummm ... well you can kinda tell it's green. It's greener in real life.)
We closed on our condo five days after our honeymoon (we got married six months and one week ago!). Our parents were kind enough to help us move in that Friday night - we couldn’t wait. We finished late, and you know what we did next? Set up our T.V. in the only place there was room - two feet from the couch. Then watched a movie. In our own house. Boxes everywhere, but those weren’t important. We were home.
The couch was my parent’s. The kitchen table belonged to my sister. The desk - Tyler made it in junior high.
Almost everything else was mine or Tyler’s from our single days. So far, we’ve bought a fridge, washer and dryer. Then a side table at an estate sale for $5. An armchair for $25 on KSL Classifieds. And the sweetest purchase - a porch swing for $25 from the same place. It creaks a little, but it’s perfect.
We love it here. It’s a happy place.
Oh it's darling!!!! :) I love all the colors! And definitely a fan of the red and green! :) (wait, is that a spot I can see on the floor in the bedroom? ;) jk) I'll have to see it all in person! Thanks for the game night! We had so much fun!
