Home Sweet Home

After three years and seven months, I am finally back in my condo. I moved in last weekend. And this weekend. And also during the week. I've been living in the same building since I came back to Toronto, sharing with another owner, living in one room, so it was just a matter of slugging stuff between floors. But now, I am finally living in my own place, which I bought almost seven years ago for less than $120K. The exact same unit, two floors above, is currently listed for sale for $225K so I guess you could say I made a good investment!

This place seems HUGE to me! It only has 660 square feet but the floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows in the bedroom make it seem larger. And I only have a desk in there so there is a ton of empty floor space. I slept in the living room last night (not much furniture there either) and when I woke up after TEN HOURS, I realized I could easily live in one room, as long as I also had a kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. Does that make four rooms or just a studio apartment?

I'm on vacation this coming week too. I don't really feel like I need a vacation but I do need the time to find some furniture. I've bought a few things but am still waiting for delivery on most things. However, yesterday, my new occasional chair from The Bay arrived. It's actually more beautiful than I imagined it would be. What do you think?
