The Biggest Purchase

Pocket of Bolts and I are contemplating the biggest purchase of our lives to date, a condo in the South Loop. After a hectic and fascinating few weeks of shopping, we've found one that has just about everything we're looking for. The people living there now have it decorated in a style that is very "not us", but at the same time gets us both thinking about a different kind of lifestyle. Less cluttered. Cleaner and more elegant. Stylish even.

If the deal goes through, I'm sure we'll change a lot of things--just the presence of us and the basic necessities of our lives will change the feeling of the place. For example, there's currently not a single bookshelf in it!!! But maybe it will change us too. Maybe even in a direction we're both a tiny bit interested in going.
