New House

Front of townhouse (that's the seller's rep inside before we bought it)

We finally closed on our new house last Tuesday. Yay! We bought the house the two weeks before Christmas and we finally closed today. We are not moving until we sell or lease our current house. I've already started working on getting the house all ready for us to move in. We already picked out the window treatments and those should be ready in two weeks. We got a quote from Abt for the electronics (new flat screen, surround sound, etc) and are waiting for the other quote from Best Buy. This week I have appointments with two different closet designers, Best Buy to go over the quote, and the heating company to balance out the heat since there are four floors. Next I have to work on getting the back splash done in the kitchen. I'm so happy to have a project to keep me busy.

New Home (Hopefully)

The view from our balcony in the master bedroom. That's the park that is caddy corner from our place.

The master bedroom (there is an area for our bed which is in the first part of the room and then a seating area at the back of the room in front of the door which leads out onto the balcony)

The kitchen

This is the dining room, which is next to the kitchen on the second floor and those stairs go up to third level that has three bedrooms and two bathrooms

Craig and I put an offer down on a new construction place in Chicago the night before we left for Aruba and they accepted our offer. It's a 4 story, 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath, 2 car garage townhouse in Lincoln Park. We are scheduled to close in the next two weeks. I had been looking online for places for the last 6 months and only found 3 I liked, but when we drove by the neighborhoods we hated the area. We were looking for a single family home, but decided since we would rather live in a nicer area a townhouse would be a better fit. We LOVE the area of the new townhouse. It has a cute park caddy corner and we have already met the neighbors and they seem very nice. We have not sold our current place, but will be putting it on the market in the next week. We will not be able to move into the new place until we sell or lease the old place because we want the old place to be furnished since it will sell better that way. We are very excited and will keep you posted on how things progress.
