We Bought a House!

Yes, you read that right, nearly 9 years together and Face and I have finally bought our own house!


I've been saving up for quite a long time now and earlier this year we decided to start looking. When we found this place, it was too quirky to pass up. We're not exactly standard ourselves so it made sense to buy a house like no one else's XD
We put in an offer in around mid-July and it was accepted! Since then things have been slowly progressing, but it was only last week our mortgage was finally approved and a date set for the 'signing off', for mid-September! It is finally beginning to feel real, and I feel I can now announce that it is happening!
It still feels totally surreal, I've never lived away from a parent other than when Dad goes away on holiday for a few months. Maybe put it this way- I've never really paid my own bills other than my phone and car stuff! I'm not very mature for my age, I admit, but it's not that I don't think I can be and I am hoping I'm ready for all the responsibility of owning my own home and keeping on top of everything. I'm already thinking I'm not going to enjoy having to wash my own dishes whenever I eat!
So, shall I show you around a little?

First up is the sitting room, and don't worry, that carpet is going. OMG. The shame is that it's a really good quality one, but just look at that pattern. I think I'm going to have seizures. Maybe I'll try and cover it with rugs or something until we can sort it out!
Other than that, I'm excited for big bay/patio doors that open out into the garden and will cool the house in summer, and let in so much light x3
I'm hoping for a corner couch in here at some point but for now we've been given a leather 3 piece suite off Face's parents, so that will do until I drag enough money together for one I really like!

Moving on, this is the kitchen, it is small but Face is super excited for it, he reckons it'll be really convenient to have everything practically within arms reach. I'm not so fussed, so long as some time soon I can swap out those tiles! The company I work for has a logo which definitely comes to mind when I see these, and everyone I work with has also picked up on it, ouch! Other than that though I think this is a warm room and I can imagine myself pottering about here x3

The house has 3 bedrooms, but one has been converted into a study. Face and I are planning to have one of the smaller rooms each, so I can have all my craft stuff and computer together in one room, and he can do whatever XD I'm not sure who's having which room yet! This one is the smallest room, but is actually a little bigger than the photo makes it look.

It's pretty obvious what this one is all about! It's not long been refurbed according to some of the documents we were sent from the solicitors and it certainly has something about it. I can't wait to get my blue-and-white nautical theme going on in here x3 I've already been scoping out which shops have the coolest stuff!
Well if you can't tell, I'm pretty excited! Remember back to the very first post I made when I said things were going to be happening for me this coming year? Well, you're gonna be hearing all about this for a while, I hope you're ready!
