We bought a house!
I'm pretty sure we used monopoly money or something.
I'm not entirely sure of the details since I was in America when it all went down...
But YES apparently we are homeowners?!?
And when I say "we" I mean it only in the sense that Nick is a homeowner
and I just happen to be married to him so I am a homeowner by default.
They wouldn't put my unemployed, no credit history in Britain,
American self on the mortgage...
and I think that's alright by me - for now.
I'm still playing house - thank you.
So you wanna see the place?
Come on in!
Living Room.
Kitchen
Kitchen again. Notice the lack of appliances?
Yes.. we're working on that.
My apologies in advance for the lack of gettin' busy cooking posts
- for the next month at least.
The garden, which we found out yesterday is NOT Doodle-proof.
Hello awkward way to meet your new neighbors....
Tiny bathroom.
Guest Bedroom - Come visit!
Master Bedroom. Goodbye hot pink walls...
Nursery. No we're not having babies.
Quit asking. It will be a man room.
Or what I like to call
"The command and control center."
Nick has a lot of computer equipment.
Well that my friends is our new house!
It doesn't look like that anymore though.
We've torn up the carpets,
pulled up the floor,
stripped the wall paper and broken up tiles.
Tomorrow we're going to look at kitchens.
Lot's of before and after pictures will be on their way!
