I'm excited to tell you all that we close in just 2 weeks on our new home!
It is very bittersweet I must say. We bought our current home 11 years ago when our first born was just a few weeks old. Honestly, I never thought we would leave this house.
So, why are we? Good question!
It seems that with the addition of the RV this past 6 months, and the blessings of my successful painted furniture business, a motorcycle, 3 cars and a boat and 2 growing boys we have outgrown out "play" space.
While on vacation to Maine in August I was playing on the Realor.com App on my phone and stumbled across this house just a few miles from our current one, and still in our school district. It haunted me for the rest of the 2 week trip. I pulled it up everyday and stared at all 16 pictures several times a day. I called my real estate agent and we went to see it the day after we got back. Our boys were horrified that we were going to look at another house. I insisted that they go, they had to like it for us to even consider it. We all knew the moment we got there that it was more than a house, it was our new home! The boys are so excited too!!!!
Even with 4,000 square feet of popcorn ceilings and more brass and oak than you have ever seen, she is our home! She sits on almost 3 acres of beauty!
That being said I'm inviting you along for a the makeover ride of a lifetime!!!
Check out my almost 700 square foot basement workshop with its own garage door bay as well!
Stay tuned....I'm off to figure out how to pack up 11 years of my life!
Congratulations on your new home. We move into ours in early November. Ironically, we stopped RVing fulltime after 2 1/2 years and decided to move back into a house. We are retired and thought we'd "hang up the keys" before our kids made that decision:) Next, we'll sell the RV and truly retire. I'll keep watching as you decorate your home. This will be fun!

ReplyDelete“...they had to like it for us to even consider it. “ – I couldn't agree with this more. Buying a house isn't a decision a single individual is to make. Some might think it is absurd, but looking for that connection to the house the moment you step inside is a good thing. Glad you've found it!
