Permanent

Well, permanent as far as we no longer flit from apartment to apartment paying rent to whomever will take our money. Now we just pay a mortgage to the evil mortgage company. But hey, we finally have some space, and visitors no longer have to sleep on the balcony. We kept the main color the same throughout the house, but repainted, recarpeted the upstairs and bought a whole suite of appliances (courtesy of the previous owner who took every last one, including the air conditioner).
