Feel free to buy now. Anytime...

Boy, it went smoothly on this end! House comes on the market Monday, we see it Thursday, offer that day, accepted next day with only one small change, and then today the inspection, which was nearly perfect - only small items to fix. Feels like a Divine appointment to me...

Picked out flooring and carpet today. Niiiiiice. Dark gold plush for the bedrooms, incl. den, and with that cherry furniture, mmm, mmm. Ooh, and the white guest bedroom set with the gold leaf, too. And check out this new bedding for the master! Yowza! Pretty spiffy. :)

Closing is May 15, with immediate occupancy. I'll have the new flooring (hardwood in living/dining, and new carpet in bedrooms) installed 5/16 and following, have the plumber install a utility sink in the "wine cellar" (if you can call it that), get the electrician to put in some different outlets and a ceiling fan in the Florida room, and hopefully schedule the moving van to drop furniture that next week, with an eye toward spending Memorial Day cooking out on the deck in the new house! :) Bring on Summer!

Plus, when I'm home next week it's off to the modern furniture store to look for neo-retro lounge furniture for the basement. Hipsville, baby! I can actually put out all my vintage vinyl on those modular shelves, crank up the hi-fi, serve a martini or two on the green teardrop table, and lay back on the orange naugahyde sectional. Woohoo! Groooovy.

Now then. All you prospective buyers out there, c'mon down! We still have a house to sell, appropriately priced... and stop telling me it's dated! Grrr... no more dated than the one I just bought! Hey, I like the 1980's. :) A lot of nice things (and some of my favorite people) got their start then...
