6 months TODAY!!

Well, the countdown has begun! Six months from today, it will be my tentative closing date!! I can't believe in 180 days I will be an official homeowner. Lists are being compiled, finances are being organized, questions are being asked and answered at a fever pitch. I am learning so much about the home buying process and it can only get better from here on in.

Mattamy U? Yahoo!

I know it's been a while since I posted as I haven't had much to report but I am happy to say that I have received my invitation to "Mattamy U"! For those who aren't in the know, Mattamy U (or University) is an educational seminar provided by Mattamy to provide purchasers with an overview of the building process associated with our new homes. It usually lasts a couple of hours and it allows people who are closing in / around the same time to meet each other and the builder and customer service people to review the home building and warranty process.

This is a big deal (to me at least) as this is a signal that the building process will begin soon. Stay tuned for a post-meeting update!

It's all in the details

I have been pouring over my monthly subscriptions to Canadian House and Home trying to get decorating ideas for the new place. I am learning what size of rug would be suitable for my Great Room and how big the art pieces should be for the walls in the stairways. I have a friend who is a photographer and she has some amazing photographs that may be just the thing I'm looking for.

I did find this AMAZING light fixture for the dining room. It's called Arctic Pear and it's made by Ochre. I have absolutely no idea of the price but it's beautiful and someday, yes, it will be mine.
