Decorating Challenges
Jul. 16th, 2009 07:53 pmToday, I signed the purchase contract for my apartment. In this multi-step process, I've completed another important one, but there are still some more that are equally important, and at any of which the whole deal could still fall through.
1. Seller reviews our minor changes to the purchasing contract, and signs it. His attorney cashes the check I gave in (for 10% of the purchase price).
2. The bank receives a copy of the purchase contract and approves my mortgage; the money goes in to escrow for up to 60 days.
3. I submit a range of materials to the Co-op Board in the hopes of being approved to be a member of the co-op.
4. We close sometime in late September.
While things could still fall apart in a number of ways (with the most likely, though hopefully still unlikely, being not getting approval from the Board) I'm going to assume the best and start to think about what I want to do with "my apartment."
It's a studio. Here's the basic floor plan. The main living area is 250 sq. ft, the entrance area (kitchen plus "foyer" is another 250 sq. ft., and the bathroom and "dressing area" look like they're around 150 sq. ft. combined. My unit looks just like the one in the picture, except that my fridge is where the "bar" is and that side of the kitchen has cabinets.

Well, I feel like I've got a better understanding of this - I'd love to hear peoples ideas... :)
