ELmO's Bachelor Pad Construction - Page 2

Thanks for the advice everyone, I've been visiting almost daliy up until last week.

I visited today and the hardwood is down, the kitchen is almost in place (cabinets/island), and the walls are painted.

Here's the trim on the house (Blue). Will probably look better if I get some blinds on that window that are frosted or light blue to match:


Here's a shot from inside the great room, looking into the kitchen (iphone pic):


Color is off (iphone), but this gives an idea of the island size:


I visited lazy boy and chose this microfiber reclining couch (comes with 2 chair recliners in same look) - it will go in a 2 story great room with white walls and offwhite carpet:


I'm looking for a 2 seater for the morning room (hardwood floor), saw this one on modernfurniture.com for $850:


Here's a red one from lazyboy ($600). It comes in the beige on the left, also. Good because it has a low back and doesn't block the view of the pond:


I'm planning on picking these up for my basement theater (5 Berkline 088s, that colour is discontinued now, there is a slightly darker/shiner orange/brown now):

Brown microfiber microfiber sofa recliner and beige microfiber couch puchased.

Next up, 5 berkline 88s.

LOL I thought the same thing..


So you're closing today, let me know how it goes! I am trying to get all my "stuff" before I close, so I don't have the urge to try and afford more later..which of course will happen. =(


Thanks, I'll take more pictures and video when I actually move in. The island is fairly big, and I should be able to host well with it...not that I'm much of a cook, but I'll learn.

UPDATE: The Toshiba XA2 HD-DVD was ordered and should be delivered soon.

Good advice, I sort of thought I was in the clear with my loan somehow - didn't really realize I actually get the loan at closing time (?).

Apparently there are some things in my contract that my lender didn't account for, so rather than getting back about $1700 at title time, I still owe another $300 or so. So that's a net loss of $2000.

Argh. No berklines for me anymore...

OK, I talked it over with them and got a chunk of my money back! Thanks scaesare.

On a side note, I ordered my "winter" car and it should arrive next week, delivered right to my house (moving into a new house AND having a "new" car sitting on the driveway the same week!).

Not really new, but new to me!

Mark,

I do not post on e46fanatics all that much...I used to be a full time employee on roadfly.org.

I will have plenty of updated pictures this week. The HT will take a little longer, too many moving parts and way too many delays (SVS is back ordered on the ultras until december it seems) - don't have a screen yet (didn't order with carada yet)...etc.

I just had my walkthrough today and I am ecstatic. My project manager and myself noticed a few small blemishes, outside of that - looking at the inside/outside of the house, I have no idea why I'd ever want anything else.

It's my dream house!

I ordered some Berkline seats from Kyle from carolina interiors. He stayed with me for months while I searched for a good deal. I will post pictures/review of those when I receive them.

I got my Sim2 PJ today, man life is good. Now to spread the joy, gotta start xmas shopping!

-ELmo

So the white fit got sold to someone else, supposedly it already had a deposit down when it was "sold" to me - LOL!

My luck.

My other luck is I bet Ryan Homes won't give me the keys today for one reason or another....

I moved in and I ended up buying an 08 Accord, I'll post pictures when I have a second to stop moving!
