the eventual new home

I'm watching game 4 of the finals (Stanley Cup) ... but I can't watch. I get too worked up and freaked out.

Anyway, I saw the condo again today to go over the minor details that were mentioned in the inspection. These are the things that I have to get in order to bring the condo up to MY standards ;)
  • Washer/dryer (stackable). It's a condo that was originally an apartment, and I'll have to petition to the association because it's an alteration. I don't know how long that will take, but once it's approved, I'm running to Sears and grabbing one. Hopefully one that's dented because those mo-fos are PRICEY.
  • New kitchen faucet (old and/or original from the 60's).
  • New bathroom faucet (see above).
  • New kitchen above-sink light fixture (it's crazy old school, and not in the quaint way)
  • New range hood (see above ... it's not gross but its OLD looking, and I'm sure it is indeed old. I will have to consult Dad on this because there's alllll sorts of stuff involved that I'm ignorant about)
  • New counter tops (this can wait til next summer ... especially if I'm going granite)
  • New facing for cabinets, maybe one or two with mesh! (ditto on the waiting)
  • Slipcover for recliner. I have to get this relatively soon because the fabric is wearing out and the duct tape is going to be needed soon! I like surefit.net -- anyone have other ideas?
  • Slipcover for couch. Not so dire, I might be able to wait for the summer on this one too.
Seriously, if anyone knows the most reasonable places to find the above, please feel free to shower me with your brilliance! :)
