Home owners again

It looks like we are joining the ranks of homeowners again. After renting for a while, we found a place we like. It’s not our dream place. We always wanted the classic Brooklyn brownstone with the garden in the back. But the housing decline isn’t really happening here and those places are either out of our price range or require way too much work.

So we’re getting a nice apartment in a good co-op in our neighborhood. We’re moving really far. Amusingly, the building we are moving to is called the Ex-Lax building. Because it really used to be the Ex-Lax offices and factory. But it was converted to a co-op a while back and it has nice, big (by Brooklyn standards) loft like apartments.

Here are a few pictures (current owner’s furniture). It has big 13 foot ceilings which I love. Makes it seem very roomy.
