We got it!!

After much too-ing and fro-ing and offering and counter-offering we finally agreed a price and the house is ours!!  Now, I hope you are all suitably impressed as it is ten days since we arrived in Canada!!
With a smidge of luck and some fancy footwork from the lawyer we could be in by the end of the month.
So this is it!

Kitchen with breakfast bar and that bit in the middle... island? LOL

Lounge - and I think that fireplace is going to be especially wonderful in a couple of months!

Breakfast nook which overlooks the deck and the rear garden.

Master bedroom suite is on the top floor with a walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom.... have always hankered after a walk in wardrobe....

This is the basement which is going to become..... a scraproom for me and study for Chris!  Wooo Hooo!

So, technically, you can see that I shouldn''t be doing WOYWW because at the moment there is nothing on my workdesk... in fact, there is no workdesk!!   But give me a few weeks....

    It doesn't matter if the house doesn't have your desk in it, yet. You have shown some "before" shots which will make good reference in the coming weeks. So glad you will soon be settling in to your new and lovely abode.

    Fantastic basement! Empty rooms are wonderful, aren't they - all those possibilities. I hope your other half appreciates that he doesn't need a large proportion of the space, lol.

    Looks gorgeous. My sister lives in Canada and whenever she comes back to visit she always says how small the houses are here compared to over there. Yours looks gorgeous. I have total basement envy. Oh to even be able to commandeer the hallway for crafting *g* Just been scrolling down your posts. Hope you puddy cats are feeling a bit less travel weary now :)
