Ha...Whiteville...not a bad small town to grow up in, but would definitely pick the Holy City over most cities to live in. And working way too hard right now...but hoping it will pay off in the long run. Really excited about this house. Going to enlist my mom's interior decorating expertise when I'm finally ready to move in.

I agree, that booth is awesome.

Jersey, what is that thing on your roof?

5/28/2010 5:01:16 PM

some sort of a missile deflector, I reckon

5/28/2010 5:08:21 PM

jersey86, who did the painting in the second image you posted above?

5/28/2010 7:47:48 PM

sorry for the dark picture....heres a stock photo of the dining set:

also, the geisha/cherry blossom picture i got from BB&B.

and the big thing on the roof is a solar panel...which doesnt even work. it's pretty ugly, but im just renting the house, so there's not much i can do about it.

Supposed to close on a house at the end of June, and then moving near the end of July. Once things are mostly in place, I'll post.

jersey, your place is very rad

6/7/2010 4:25:55 PM

I am definitely jealous of jbrick who got a decent place for good $ in a place I want to live but not for half a million or more.

YOU LUCKY ASSHOLE YOU

Let me know if you find any other gems while LIVING THE DREAM.

IKEA

you can follow instructions written on a 5th grade level?

6/30/2010 10:40:55 PM

6/30/2010 10:45:06 PM

7/8/2010 5:06:54 PM

Some of y'all have really nice places. At some point I might post pics of mine, but I wouldn't have much to show--90% of our furniture is shitty old hand-me-downs and the decorating is all my girlfriend's work. Plus (unfortunately we rent) the landlord wouldn't allow us to paint even if we would repaint upon leaving, so every freaking wall is white except for the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms which are, oddly. lavender and mint green. :-/

True. But 2 people can damn sure fill up a 1320 square foot house and half of a 2-car garage without even trying, especially when said house has no attic and no shed.

@jbrick83, nice place! I love historic homes and preservation, and I'd love to live somewhere like that--especially somewhere that was facing demolition and brought back from the brink. But you also get brand new roofing, systems, and appliances, which is nice and should keep you trouble-free for quite a while.

7/12/2010 10:43:04 AM

^^wow, the layout and finished product of your room reminds me a lot of my bonus room growing up. nostalgia like whoa

I can't wait to put pictures up of my place all decorated

that's what scares me about the house i'm really considering. Right now it's just me, and there is no garage but there is an attic and 2 outbuildings. That's plenty of storage for just me and what I own, but the moment a SO moves in, we'd outgrow it in no time.

7/12/2010 10:56:13 AM

my next house will have BALLER decor


my current house...not so much

7/12/2010 11:03:00 AM

^^exactly. we're 1200 sq feet w/ a small attic and small shed and little closet/storage space. we're are packed in here...whenever we decide to have kids we'll have to move. there's just no room. our 2nd bedroom is more like a huge closet

7/12/2010 11:10:06 AM

1200-1300 feet sounds tiny for a house

I'm at 1100 for my one bedroom apt and I'm running out of room to put shit

7/12/2010 11:20:00 AM

it is tiny, but ours is also a townhouse

it's worked for us for the past 4 years...we're just gonna need more room eventually, but also wanna put 5 in to the place first.

yeah, it does sound tiny the more and more i think about it. but the asking price and what i could potentially get it for, plus what i can put in for a down payment and I would make out like a bandit in terms of mortgage payments. I really don't want to be house poor..especially when it's just me these days.

7/12/2010 11:26:41 AM

I love some of ya'lls places. I want one

7/12/2010 11:43:57 AM

and here i thought my 1100 sq. ft, 3 bedroom place had plenty of room for me...

and a roommate...

and a dog...


damn...my standards must be really low

7/12/2010 11:50:26 AM

my place is only 925. There are yachts that are bigger than my condo. but then again I do live in San Diego! and 5 miles from the beach.

7/12/2010 11:56:20 AM

Sam, that is going to be a bonus room and a workout room. I'm going to put a pool table in there and tv sitting room. I will probably add a bar too.

The upstairs alone is 1100 sq ft.
