Most of you probably know our exciting news this Fall, the year...this century.
We just bought our first house!!!
I'm so grateful that all the painting, wallpapering, gardening, and spiffing up that I love to do won't just be left behind as I move on to another rental. It's finally for our forever house! I first saw this 1956 ranch house on a whim with a realtor friend Sarah and fell in love with all the built in cabinets, green house and general midcentury awesomeness; but it seemed totally out of reach. sigh.........
Four months later when Andrew and I decided we were ready to start actually looking to buy it was STILL on the market at an even lower price!!!! As soon as we'd made an offer I became a firestorm of elaborate plans for decorating and renovating every room simultaneously. And of generally driving Andrew insane with my constant, "do you like this or this better? Should that room have a rustic modern vibe or like a bohemian rainbow feeling?" I had 12 giant mountains of pictures and swatches and paint samples for all 12 rooms. But now that we've been moved in for a month the craziness has subsided and I keep reminding myself that we have years to get around to everything that I envision. And while I love all the decorating projects this house has waiting for me, I'm mostly looking forward to having space where our giant family of friends and relatives can celebrate together.
Here's some pictures from before we moved in and hopefully I'll post up some after pics soon!
