I just wanted to say thanks for all the well wishes with the house. I appreciated everyone sharing in my excitement!

And Basalle, I probably should change my name now that I have the house, but I think I'll keep it. I like the possibilities it has...plus as I learn the ins & outs of homeownership, there will be more to learn & be 'hopeful' about.

Boomeyers: I took your idea & used some of my plastic storage bins as coffee & end tables. I probably will give in soon & buy some soon though. I have a good idea what I want in style & in the type of wood to match the tv stand. I'm going to look at an offbeat furniture store about 1/2 hour away. I think I'll be able to match it and possibly get a good deal in the process.

Also, thanks to LuckyRobin & LuxLiving for the pre-move advice. Unfortunately I had a cold when I moved, so for every hour of work, I spent about an hour sitting or laying down. The overnight bag with the clothes, meds, ect came especially in handy since the bag contained Nyquil. VERY handy!

Thanks again to everyone for all your support. I really appreciate it. This board is always friendly and has great ideas! I'm inspired by you all!
