why I fell in love with my condo

When I was looking at places to live the idea of a condo or townehome seemed to fit me best but this was the first one that came with land, a charming backyard of my very own. It's very idealic and with a creek running through the backyard my heart melted and I made an offer. Through the years its changed a lot 

Unfortunately the past two years its flooded but never come into my house and this year the HOA decided to build in a drainage system and they are re-modeling all the backyards. They just started construction this week and I can hardly wait to see how great its going to look!

 

Another huge plus with this condo was a fireplace. I've snuggled up next to it several times with friends, books, movies, blankets, and coffee. I told myself if I bought this condo I would put the fireplace to good use and I think I have. Although I will say decorating the mantle of my fireplace has been really fun and its always changing.

Right now its decorated with my collection of Matrushka (stacking) dolls from Russia

Although one of my favorite things to do is line up a bunch of tea light candles... I'm a candle girl!

 

hope you've enjoyed my home tour so far!

Beautiful dear! Who wouldn't fall in love with your condo? Especially the backyard. The creek is very nice. I think you can put a small hut or gazebo on the banks. It would be nice to have a barbecue there.

Donna's right. It's good to do some grilling' at the backyard and maybe have some drinks with friends. =) Those ornaments you displayed in the fireplace look good. Did you get those figurines from another country? They look like the ones that are usually found in Russia.

I agree, the backyard is beautiful and doesn't usually get direct sunlight so in the summers its always a perfect temperture! On the fireplace yes, they are from Russia, they are stacking matryoska dolls that I bought when I used to live there. Thank you!
