Moving on up...

So I bought a condo in the Spring. I also made the silly move of buying one that wasn't built yet. Silly because now I have to wait... and wait... and wait... for it to finish. So if you can't tell I'm currently in the waiting phase.

Here is a picture of the construction. It is a little old, August 9, 2005. I need to get over there and take some new ones. In this picture they are forming the 33rd floor. About a week ago they reached the 40th floor, the top of the building. My floor is about half way up.

The second picture is what my kitchen will look like. Well actualy it's the mirror image of what my kitchen will look like. Plus I probibly won't have plastic fruit on the counter.

There were only three choices of cabinate colours and this is by far my favorite. The others were a strange olive green in an almost carbon fiber pattern, and the final one was a light blue. I imagine much of the building will be done in the wood grain colour.

The unit I'm getting is a one bedroom plus den that's approximately 700 square feet. The original floor plan had 2 full bathrooms on it. I couldn't imagine why I'd need two full baths. I'm not planning to have guests over so often that sharing a bathroom will be a problem.

So I had the second bathroom removed from the plan. It makes the den much larger, and much more usefull. I also moved the door of the remaining bathroom to the living room wall so it is no longer an on suite, and I moved the bedroom door so the closet could be extended the full width of the bedroom.

I think this will work out well for me. It gives me a lot of useable space in the den, which will be a workroom kind of area. It will allow me to have normal livingroom and bedroom.

But as I said in the beginning, I still have to wait. However I did get my first movin date of early Spring. I'm not expecting that to hold, but it's encouraging.
