weekend and pictures of house

January 19th, 2009 at 11:08 pm

Well as I mentioned in my previous post, it was our last 'big weekend'. Here is the total damage:

Tickets: $281.50
Accomodation: $305
Dining Out/Takeaway: $150
Drink Tickets: $116
Petrol: $10
Activities: $175
Trinket-Memorabilia: $17.00

Total: $1054.50

BLAH!

Anyway, here are some promised pics of our new house, from the real estates website. Please excuse the previous occupiers furniture!

The view from our balcony. Our property backs onto a heritage park and creek, so there will never be another house behind us.


Main bedroom. Two of the four bedrooms have the squared-bookshelf feature in the walls. I love it! The entire house, except for the bathroom and toilet, have hardwood floors under the carpets and vinyl.


Front of the house. BF and his dad are going to put roller-doors where you can see the car parked, and then later on they will enclose that area so it is a double lockup garage.


The loungeroom. My favourite at the moment because it looks SO old. Again, when we move in it will have sanded hardwood floors and we will paint the walls white.


Back view of the house. I'm not so hot on the colour (who paints a house baby blue???) but it is freshly painted so neither of us mind leaving it for a while, until we build up funds. Then we'll probably paint it white.


And that's all the pictures I have now. I will post better ones later, probably after we have done all the work so we can post before and after pictures.

    What a gorgeous view out the back!! I can't wait to see what you do with the loungeroom. White walls with the hardwood floors sound really nice.

    Frugal Texan, I was thinking the same thing! Nothing wrong with blue. And what is wrong with the furniture. Looks comfey to me. The back yard looks gorgeous. Congratulations!

    there's nothing wrong with the furniture, its just not our furniture. i meant, excuse it as it is in the way.

    and i prefer plainer colours on the outside of a house, like white or cream or even beige or grey. i agree, there is nothing WRONG with blue, blue is fine if you really like the colour, but from a resale point of view (as well as personal preference) i much prefer colours that dont stick out so much.

    whitestripe,

    You are probably right, for resale value it's not the best color. But I just know that the mobile home I looked at in CA and fell in love with had only one thing wrong with it - the first thing I'd want to change - it was painted a neutral tan/brownish type color - freshly painted too.

    I love your view! To me so much greenery would be incredible luxury.
    Congratulations on this huge and amazing step. You worked hard for it!

    What a lovely home... and I think backing up to a park is absolutely wonderful. You will add your own touches to anything you are not happy with, all in due time. The important thing is IT IS YOURS. I am so happy for you.

    Ah so that's where the pictures are hiding.

    The back yard is gorgeous! GORGEOUS! It makes want to run out there and roll in the grass like an unleashed dog.
