Yesterday was possession day at the new condo and it was with some excitement that I met MJ, my realtor, at noon to get my keys. It didn’t really hit me at first that it was actually my place. There were some things to sort out and discoveries things that had been left behind by the previous tenant. Like two nearly-empty bottles of liquor and the pack of roladen in the freezer.
Then I had the painter in to estimate things along with Reilly and Miranda to help with color choices. As a software guy I am totally unqualified to make good color choices! So I’m leaning on my creative friends for help with that. Shan and I had found a great color for the bathroom at our Wednesday night band rehearsal and Miranda and Reilly have used some fantastic colors in their place right now.
One that was all over and everyone had piled out I spent some time alone with my new place. That’s when it hit me that I owned this space! I could do whatever I wanted to it! Now I have sheets of paper filled with diagrams and scribblings about closet organization, things to take care of in the next week, and layouts for living room furniture.
I never understood the need for people to “nest” but now I find myself knee deep in that mentality. I blew most of my money on the down payment, closing costs, and painting so it’ll be a while before I’ve got the place set up to my liking. What’s great is it gives me the opportunity to take my time and do a proper job of setting it up over the next couple of years. I’m excited!
