On Tuesday I bought a 4 bedroom, 2 bath 2700 sq ft two-level ranch style house built in 1956 and sitting on .56 acres of mature landscaping atop a prominent ridge overlooking my city and the foothills behind it. :)

Then I spent 4 days moving everything I own into it and wishing I owned less stuff. :(

:congrats:

Ha!  I'll see your your house and raise you my chocolate chip pancakes from the diner.

I bought metal studs for my hoodie jacket. The zip doesn't work any more so my mum said she will put studs on it.

Wouldn't it be easier to fix the zipper or just replace it?

A wooden headboard approx vintage 50's for $5.  Need to go touch it up in a couple places with some stain and rub on some lemon oil.

Should match the rest of my vintage junk nicely. :thumbup:

Groceries, a book of quotes, a flat sheet, underwear, a knickknack for the PR.

My mum has tried fixing it. What happens is it catches on fine but when I zip it up, the teeth come apart. Replacing it would be hard as unpicking it would probably ruin it. I will be happy with the studs. As long as it does up, I would wear it.

Nice  8)

I have two nightstands and a headboard that I need to refinish. It's early 70's though. Not as cool looking as the 50's but it will serve its purpose. ;)

It is nice. I can't imagine living in anything else than my own house.
