I Bought A House!

In July. 2015 I bought my first home. I'm hoping it will be my only home, but who knows what life will bring? I work in the SF Bay Area on the peninsula, but my home is in the Oakland Hills. It's quite a commute. I hate commuting, but I think it's worth it: you can get more bang for your buck in Oakland--houses with style for a somewhat reasonable cost.  There's no way I could afford a place in San Francisco. 

Here are a few pics--these are from the posting on the MLS, so the house looks very staged, I'll post more of my own as I go along. My little house on Sheldon Street is pretty cute, don't you think?

I love the gate. However, I can't get my car down there... well, I could, but I'd never get it back up the driveway!

Good sized living room...

AWESOME kitchen... 

Guest bedroom

TV Room downstairs

The view of the SF Bay.
The Oakland airport is in the distance--very sparkly at night!

The backyard... so much work needs to be done.

Loving the little deck!

I have all sorts of projects I've been working on: shelving, refinishing furniture, decorating, closets, organizing, etc.  As I've been going through endless websites, blogs, and Pinterest, I thought that maybe I should start a blog to follow my progress. As I work on projects, I'll post... maybe someone will even read my posts!

And away we go!
