Closed on New Crib
 
Its not much, 3 BR, 2 BA, 2 Car Gar. Built in 1986, hardwood floors throughout.
I know absolutely nothing about buying furniture or home decorating, so it'll be a bachelor pad for a while. Only thing I bought was a Samsung 61" LED DLP.

Aaron,

Congrats on the new pad.

If you need help or advice on home projects, let me know.

Congrats, Looks nice, first thing to do, get those bushes off the brick and that vine off of the chimney. Plants and water can damaged things big time.

Also when furnishing, stay away from Ikea, 90% junk. Spend a little money and buy good strong pieces of furniture.

congrats aaron :cheers:

west elm is absolute crap, don't buy anything from there. Nice crib! TV is all you really need anyways. :D

keg1997 08-21-2007 08:41 PM

Do you have a comfy chair or two to go with the tv? Otherwise all you need is a bangin' bed and you're ballin'!!!

Seriously though....congrats on the place- one of the best investments you can make!

juniorbean 08-21-2007 10:24 PM

Sweet. Congrats on the new place. Let's see some interior pics :D

mantis23 08-23-2007 09:40 PM

updated with pics in first post. Ignore the lack of furniture.

Thanks for the advice, I got that vine off the chimney.

Not yet, bed first, then living room furniture. I'm sleeping on a damn twin bed mattress laid on top of a fold out couch mattress. It sucks.

I hope to be FIOS owned soon, they have put the FO in the ground and have been on every street corner for the last three weeks.

Sorry about you finger, but welcome to your first of many HO boo boob's.

GreenMonster 08-25-2007 02:46 PM

Nice... looks like it needs a little bit of landscaping, but the interior looks very nice...

Lister00169 08-25-2007 05:00 PM

Congrats and the hardwood floors look awesome!

Crazy Bimmer 08-25-2007 05:45 PM

Congrats!!

dallison 08-26-2007 06:41 AM

that place is awesome, now it's time to get some mesicans to do your landscaping.

btw the sharp end of the trimmer is used for the bush :poke:

mltk53 08-26-2007 08:27 AM

clean!

03typeS6spd 08-30-2007 01:00 PM

very nice

looks like a candidate for an eventual kitchen redo

owning by yourself is always :mantis:



also... crate and barrel has nice furniture... just put up for your "wedding" registry and put all the furniture you want on it.. after your "wedding date" they send you a coupon for 10% a one time purchase

just a thought
