Last weekend, my agent took me to see a two bedroom top floor apartment here in Brooklyn. The apartment had been on the market for a few weeks and was in a quiet building on a tree lined block and close to transportation. Almost immediately I was taken aback by the size of the unit. As we entered, there was this huge window over looking the rest of Brooklyn and allowing an amorous about of natural light into the apartment. It had a nice layout, adequate closet space, updated kitchen, hard wood floors and it was practically move in ready condition. I immediately made what I thought was a fair offer and the sellers countered at almost $10,000 more. I'm a girl on a budget and though I liked the apartment, I wasn't going to overextend myself. I made a counter offer. After several days and numerous telephone calls, we didn't hear back from the sellers agent. On Thursday my agency received a call from the sellers agent stating that they are having an open house this weekend and if they don't receive the price amount they are looking for, then they will consider my offer.
I have a long to do list for my home. The problem is trying to priorities that to do list. Every item in my home was purchase, from the farmhouse chandeliers in the upstairs bedrooms to the doorknobs. All the door knobs. Furnishing a new home is quite expensive. Even though I am giddy and excited to get this home completely furniture and renovated, I have had to take a step back. I have had to just learn to live in a minimally furniture home. I love it. I love the bare walls. I love the space. I love the feel of not having clutter. On my last blog post, I showed some pictures of my kitchen and dining room, Today I want to share a few pictures from some of the other parts of the home. It's not perfect. I still need a dresser and a mirror but those will come in time. In the meantime, this is what it looks like.
