Beautiful home, and those built-ins are stunning...this is truly the house that was waiting just for you...glad you found it, and congratulations.

[Ben Staad]

Congrats my friend. It is a beauty.

These shelves don't even stand a chance - they are going to get FILLED up so fast!

[Sock Monkey]

I'm just joining in to add another "congratulations!" to the mix. That is a nice looking house. To be honest, I'm much more of a dark wood kind of guy, but those pictures of the inside of the house, especially those beautiful built-ins, have got me rethinking my stance. So beautiful! I'm also a sucker for french doors so that entry into the kitchen is right up my alley as well. I'm joining Jeff in the "jealous" category! Congratulations again!

WOW! Beautiful house. Congratulations! I am adequately jealous.

Holy shit guys - I did it.

I bought a house. A HOUSE!

We closed yesterday (I piloted the first 100% digital mortgage with my credit union too) and got the keys. IT HAPPENED!

Here are some pictures - let me tell you - this place has an ABSURD amount of storage, and some of the most beautiful built-ins I've seen in a house.

There are more built-ins down the hallway with the bedrooms. There's also a 75% finished basement with more bookshelves (not built-ins but the previous owner did a HELL OF A JOB mounting a bunch of book shelves.

This house checked every box we had and then some.

So yeah - this finally happened.

Congratulations!

Great looking house and those book shelves are awesome!

TacomaDiver  Now that's a house! Those built-ins are really nice. They'll look even better once they're filled with books

That's exactly what I ended up doing - going some Goo Gone and got those pesky stickers off.

[Sherlock Joe's]

Our book shopping yesterday started out visiting an ARC (which is like a Goodwill) and we got a GIANT stack of really nice books for about $22 (although the damn sticker residue will not come off - they use some industrial grade stickers it seems).

If you (or anyone) is looking for a good way to get sticker residue off, try Goo Gone sprayed on the end of a Q-tip. You can spread it on with a light or heavy hand, let it sit for a few seconds, then use a plastic scraper to work the residue off.

If you don't get all the residue off the first time, just flip the Q-tip around and repeat. A regular-sized bottle of Goo Gone will go a LONNNGGG way if you're only using it for this.

Fun stuff, Mike. We have something similar called OddMall: Emporium of the Weird that hits our area a couple times a year. There's usually one a month or so before Christmas...looking forward to that one if schedules allow.

Ron, there is one scheduled for Seattle Oct 14-15 and one for Portland oct 21-22..Side note, I will touch base with you the first week of September, we'll be in Seattle visiting our son and daughter for a week.
