The Poverty Jet Set

We Bought a House!

[UPDATE! We got it! It's ours!]

It happened real quick (and it ain’t over yet), but Audrey and I just bought our first house! It’s a super fine lil’ abode on the edge of Fishtown in Philly. It was sold to us by a stylish and lovely woman and fellow blogger. We’re very, very excited about it! Closing in a few weeks. Cross yr fingers for us. And then come join us for what will be one heck of a house warming party! Yeeee-haw!

Oh, congratulations!!! It's gorgeous. And you have a front porch to sit on in the summer. I see color swatches and curtain shopping in your future!

Thanks, everyone!

It's just north of Cumberland, actually, Joshua. It's on Aramingo, couple blocks up from the Wawa and across from that ball field.

I'm so proud of you Marky! It's amazing - and I know you guys will make it equally (if not even more) stylish! A house like that deserves stylish folks like you and Audj! : )

Can't wait to come down to help you move/paint/whatever you need!!

YES, man! I am so glad y'all bought this gem!!!!
You *are* keeping the incredible wallpaper in the entryway, right? Because that is pure gold, my friend, just pure gold, and I am absolutely not being facetious. I love it.

I wish I could come for the party. (Maybe I can .... if I rub my paws together evilly enough ...)

Mark,
Congratulations! I saw this house in Craigslist and it made me jealous that I'd already bought a house.

Awesome score on the house!
You two aren't that far from where I live on Norris and Gaul now!
I can see not-a-few whiskey-laced evening visits...
