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.




Update:
FIOS got installed today, now I can post better pics.

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.

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!

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.

very nice

looks like a candidate for an eventual kitchen redo

owning by yourself is always



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
