Our Old Home

As of this, our first post, the future Greyshade Estate is in escrow. This is the condominium we sold to buy it. The furniture in these pictures is not ours but belongs to the staging company we hired to show off what a potential nest for modern urban living it was. When we actually lived there it was not being used such a modern urbanite style. It crammed full, of among other things, brass bits, tools and art supplies that really wanted a workshop to live in. We had stored water, and emergency supplies crammed in odd corners and copies of Make, Steampunk, and Backwoods Home magazines piled up. We also had few lonely potted herbs on the tiny window sills that were our only real growing space since our balcony was north facing. It didn't fit where our lives were going at all. The high ceilings were nice, and the second bathroom. I will definitely miss the stone fronted fireplace, but there was no room for how we increasingly wanted to live and no potential for it to be anything but what it was.
