The Condo

Ok let's start with moving here - luckily I found a place to live on my first trip down here to look at places. I saw about 6-8 places in one day (I lost count). The last one of the day was a condo downtown in a high rise- The Tennyson. It is only 5 blocks from campus, very nice area, convenient to everything, covered assigned parking, only 2 years old and best of all- furnished with very nice furniture.

The problem is that it is owned by a huge FSU booster who originally bought it just to have a place to stay when he came for football games. Seems that now he has purchased an RV so he rents out the condo. As you can see in the pictures below there were a few things that I HAD to change. Take a look at these pictures:

Yes, that's right, that is a Bobby Bowden autographed picture of the FSU Standium, and you cannot see the whole thing, but next to it is a picture of a Seminole (also signed by B.B). Well those had to go! They are now in the closet. I have replaced them as seen below:
Next up - the second bedroom I am using as an office:
Yes, more Seminole/FSU pictures and the room is even painted in garnet and gold. This did not make for a good work environment for me! So a few more changes were in order!
Too bad there was nothing I could do about the paint!
