In the midst of planning our wedding, Mark and I purchased a condo. We were lucky to find a place that was move-in ready, close to where I work, and a steal of a deal ($30,000). We closed on August 12.
 |
| We got the key to our condo just before our closing appointment. Happy day indeed! |
We both took the 12th off from work for the closing appointment and so we could start moving our stuff in. Well, technically, it was my stuff because I moved into the condo first. My parents and Mark's parents came the following day to move the big stuff (bed, dressers, desk, coffee tables, etc.)
 |
| Our kitchen is galley-style and small. But there are plenty of cabinets! |
 |
| I like the green paint on the walls. |
 |
| Ron, Dad and Bette take a break. Behind those mirrored doors are more shelves. |
Mark moved his stuff over gradually, finishing up just days before our wedding. I wouldn't recommend moving only a month before your wedding, but luckily for us, everything worked out fine and went smoothly.
Here are more pictures of our condo...
 |
| The bathroom is one of our favorite rooms in the condo. |
 |
| Our decor matches very well. |
 |
| The guest bedroom was previously a nursery. We turned it into the guest/craft/running room. |
 |
| Besides having the running bibs on the wall, I have other random posters and photos. |
 |
| These closet doors look really nice, but are a pain to open and close. |
 |
| Master bedroom. Yes, we need more stuff on the walls! |
 |
| I purchased this a long time ago, and am glad it's finally getting used! |
 |
| We have a few items on one of the bedroom walls. |
 |
| We got this china hutch off of Craigslist. The previous owner even delivered it! |
 |
| The previous owners converted a closet into an office. We made it the "Cloffbrary" (closet-office-library). |
 |
| Our books, DVDs, CDs, games, and other assorted items are in the cloffbrary. |
 |
| See... those mirrored doors do hide shelves. Our condo has awesome storage! |
We love our condo... it's the right amount of space for us at this point, and we live just a short walk away from one of my favorite aunts. :) Mark and I are so glad to have a place that is completely ours.
