I have to tell you. Being A first time buyer is no joke in this market. I have been looking at real estate for ages. During the summer it has been easy enough to squat on a dwell in the library (I live 2 miles from the city, I am a city dweller!!!!!!!!!!)
Coming winter, I really needed an upgrade and My Silly Owner came to rescue. She identified a little shack in the area I fancied:
Box on the landing = house with a view |
My Silly Owner also explained to me that some decoration work would need to take place to make the place feel like home. She then invested in the raw material and proceeded in putting in the free labour.
Real fake wood feel for the top and the sides |
Corrugated carton for the roof and wall paper for the "facade". |
I really could have gone for a more sleek and contemporary look rather than this shabby chic galore but....what can I say, the place was a bargain and it is pretty cozy.
So now I am the proud owner of some cat-estate. I have finally jumped on the ladder and I am mortgage free. On the other end My Silly Owners go to work every day in this horrible weather to pay for the loan on the their flat when they coudl have just gotten a bigger carton.
Sometimes I jsut do not know why they bother !!!!!!!!
