Recent purchase

I bought a house

And some burnt orange paint. my home was built 1892 and neighbors the Historic district here in Ogden.

I wanted to move out but have never rented...ever. It just didn't make sense in my mind. So I figured out my price range for a poor college student with low or little to none credit and

made an investment. Original windows, but mostly it needs love.

It's on an .25 of an acre. So I can't wait to Til the earth.

You will need to see it in person.

This was $5.00 paint and I have been buying home accessories for years, that interior designer in me. I hadn't match them up before.

but in design, you can trust your eyes... most of the time... Girls belong in this bathroom, Girls being pural means, I need roommates, so leave your husbands for regular dance parties,

Spinach omelets in the morning

Fresh tap water

noteworthy conversatons

The kitchen needs more cabinets but I was excited it was bare and not too over bearing...

it has a sweet green spirit! right?

So it is 3 bedrooms and one bath, half of the house was built with hard wood floors

So I can't decide about carpet.

I am impressed how large the closets are.

Okay so I really don't expect you to give up your wonderful marriage and kids but I am looking for roommate

Or a help meet. Help meet:Noun 1. helpmeet - a helpful partner
helpmate
better half, married person, partner, spouse, mate - a person's partner in marriage

I mean this second room would make a perfect nursery

Okay well I will try to rent out the nursery to a girl, or use it to make my crafty cards... or my art projects for class.

There is alot of bare walls, after they are sanded down

I kinda want to do a mural or something fun.

This room is extra large with a walk in closet that was referred to as a second bedroom

so This is where I will be..maybe

White walls feel restricting to me and less personality

Everything kinda needs a personality in my life

What what is your favorite type of tree, what grows best. The yard needs me, but I'm committed.

There is a great tree house in the back

but the pine trees are coming down soon

I'm a tree hugger but these ones you can't hug

Working with very old iron

Tempted to flip it, but no plans

I wonder if Mary Poppins needs a roomy.
