Great news!

I have found a new home and will be moving March 1. Such a relief!
First floor which is going to be great for my eldest son and myself. He won't be stuck at home anymore if he has to use his wheelchair.
It is close to so many things, (a mere 12 minute walk from his day program) Also a 20 min walk away is a great park with lots of features (a carousel and bandstand for summer concerts for a couple) and events...ok so it will take me an hour..lol BUT it is also right on a bus route which will be nice. I can already imagine all the inspiration photos I will be getting there :-D
Anyhow here are the pictures that were posted online from the apartment.
I figure you can tell what room the first picture is..lol isn't it purty???


This is MY ROOM! And it is HUGE. Was an addition they had built on the back of the house. Fan and light is remote controlled. Room is going to be painted to something a little more soothing and also something that blends with the teal carpet a bit better :-)
There will be room in here for my full bed and also a daybed for when my grandson stays over..or I may just use 2 twin beds...we'll see.


Look at all this empty space...this is the kitchen, although technically I guess dining room would be a better term for it since all the appliances are in the next picture..this room is going to look so empty with my little round 4 person table in it..lol..BUT I'm thinking it might be a good place to set up my hand quilting frame so I can finally start using it. Again..we'll see :-)
I just love the wallpaper in here. Usually don't see wallpaper anymore so this is a nice change. Through that arch is the living room, which is on the smallish size but will certainly hold my loveseat and tv..and I plan on looking for a couple of overstuffed chairs to add to it.

And here is the official kitchen. Not shown here is the brand new microwave they just installed in that space above the stove, the knobs on the cabinets are porcelain with painted flowers, again just my style.
There are 2 more bedrooms, a space in the cellar for me to hook up my very own washer and dryer, a small yard, off street parking and many many closets. Oh and let's not forget the skylight in the hallway leading from kitchen to my bedroom

Oh yea and under that pink bedroom in the cellar? There is a very big storage room, that is also heated and has outlets! Storage room? No say I...STUDIO! It does after all have a locking door.
No more of my creative mess visible in the main living areas...ever :-D

Will *go to work* during the day. Come up in the afternoon and at night do handwork, crocheting or (the reason I am thinking of putting the quilt frame in the empty kitchen) hand quilting :-)
Have to admit, the overall apartment just thrilled me but that room in the cellar was the icing on the cake for me.

I'm sure I will post pictures of things after we move in,,including before and after ones of my studio :-D

  1. Cathy, to say that I'm thrilled for you would be an understatement! What a fantastic home you're going to have! And having your own studio space is so wonderful. Those wide doorways will help with the wheelchair, too. Wow. This is truly amazing. I can't wait to see the "after" shots! This is truly good (and instant!)karma in action!
