Owning your own home

Yup, we needed the ad up before the long weekend but the photos are pretty terrible. We're getting someone in on Wednesday to re-do them.

Anyone need boxes for moving (or storage)?

Finally started moving more from our selfstore unit to our house and freed up a few boxes.

Would need them collected between now and Wednesday or they're going in the recycling bin.

I'm finally in! Wahoo. Keys on Friday, moved stuff in today.

Next stop, furniture.

Congrats dude! Amazing feeling isn't it?

26 days after starting, mortgage offer came through today and is now with solicitors to do that expensive dark conveyancing magic (basically writing to each other)... never again.

"Millennial Pink" is not something i'm going to internet search for.

it's not far fucking off.

needs Aesop.

OG eames tho.

Nothing! I need to get to work.

I think my entire house is painted millennial pink.

The best.

Now I have millennial bingo to fill in as I purchase things. I do like a good pineapple.

(I'm sure something here is Ikea. But I'm slightly pre-millenial.)

There’s a legit Eames chair in our gaff does that count?

the narcissism of small differences :-)

Hehe you are not wrong. anyone prepared to shell out upwards of 300 notes for a plastic chair is quite frankly, dumber than they look.

O hi.

Eames is for povo's

I'm sat on OG Hans Wegner

Finn Juhl or >>>

Until you’ve comissoned, you’ve not made it.

hah yeah. Sits to pounds spent ratio is weak.

just for contrast: when i was a sound engineer I had to record a series of voiceovers about Hans Wegner chairs for a museum, but I'm still yet to actually see even a photo of one.

Ohhhh anecdote time.
When the Sainsbury’s centre at UEA was refitted they ripped everything out and chucked it in a skip then replaced everything. This included all furniture, I’m not sure of numbers but there must have been near 100 OG Eames chairs in one of the skips. My parents friends who noticed them grabbed themselves a set for their dining room.
