Our First Home!
G and I are very excited- this past weekend, we finalized the purchase of our first home!! We have bought a two bedroom condo townhouse in downtown Toronto, which we are thrilled about. We won't be taking possession for a couple of months, but it is exactly what we have been looking for, and we're so excited. I spend a lot of time going over my Pinterest Home Inspiration Board lately. Here are a few of the real estate shots of our new place (keep in mind this is how it looks currently, none of this stuff is our furniture):
Of course, we'll decorate the place and make it our own, and the furniture that they have now is not at all like our furniture, but I'm looking forward to making it our own. These are the photos from the main floor, there is an upstairs, but the bedroom photographs are terrible. Today we have the home inspection, and I'm looking forward to going over the space in more detail with G, and talking about some potential furniture placement!
Oh, and here's a parting shot of little Bruce Quillis. He's very camera shy, but he feels a little safer when he's peaking out from his little wooden house.

Congratulations!! Such an exciting moment! I love the little patio and can't wait to see what you do with your space :)
Congratulations! :) Owning property can be scary but also very cool! I remember when I bought my apartment 5 years ago, I was in love with it! Still am ofcourse, but by now it looks less impressive then it did at the time ;)
Anyway, goodluck redecorating everything, I'm sure it will become beautiful!

Ohhhh, what fun! Something to build together.
When searching for wall colour, take a look at Benjamin Moore's Sag Harbour Grey. It is amazing the way it adjusts itself to its surroundings. In my previous house I had it in the kitchen and upstairs hall. In my current house I've used it in the master bedroom which is huge and gets various light during the day. Cloud White is a great companion.
Your home is lovely. Congratulations! It will be perfect for you guys are Bruce Quilis. I still can't get over how perfect that name is.
Having spent my working life in the mortgage business and my husband in the business of real estate, I can tell you there is nothing like your first home. Congratulations.
