Welcome to Our Humble Abode

Friday we took possession of our house. Our house!!! It feels so awesome to have a place of our own that we'll build our lives and memories in.

We haven't moved in yet, but we've started demolitions and fix-ups right away! We plan to move in the house this Tuesday after the new carpet is installed. The old carpet was so yuck.

Seriously, ew.

I snapped a few shots Friday evening but the light was fading fast so I didn't get the greatest shots.

Here is the backyard which is off the carport to the left of the house. The back entrance sort of acts as the main entrance of the house at the moment. Eventually we'd like to change the front door (which is currently a sliding door) to be the main entrance. All in due time!

The backyard is really beautiful actually. There are some incredible flowers in the flowerbeds and I can't wait to add our veggie garden into the mix.

When you step inside you walk into the living room. The living room is quite large with a wood burner for cozy winters. Mmmm!!

Beyond the living room is the kitchen and dining room.

(Note the tiny space for a fridge and the red counter-tops. Haha! Not really my fave.)

diningroom

Off the dining room is a long hallway leading to all the bedrooms of the house, the laundry, and the bathroom.

Bedroom 1 (Quite a large room, I think the original master bedroom?)

Bedroom 2 (Still big, though slightly smaller)


Master Bedroom (Worst picture ever. Sorry!)

Through the master bedroom is a small nursery or 4th bedroom. I know it as my future craft room. I can't wait to decorate it and have a place to organize all my craft stuff! It's like a dream come true.

There is lots that needs doing on the house, but it's so exciting to us! We have a place to call home and make our own. It's an exciting next chapter of our married life.

Today is the big day!

Today we finally close on our house! We will officially be proud owners of a house and a mortgage in a matter of a few hours. Sadly, we won't be moving in until Tuesday when the new carpet is laid, though I'm finding it hard to complain about new carpet. ;)

I'm beyond excited. I'm over the moon. I can't wait to decorate our new house and make it our home. I have lots of ideas for simple decorating and can't wait to start pulling it together piece by piece.

We both had Fuji Instax cameras and have a big stack of instant photos that we can't wait to display. We were thinking a big display wall of all the photos we love.

Between the two of us, the mister and I have a lot of cameras. I'd really like to figure out a way to make a cute camera display!

Tying vintage books with a ribbon is a simple and effective way to give them a polished look and appear more like a display than a stack of books. So cute!

Over time, I plan on hand making a lot of things for our house. I would love to make some rugs, curtains, pillows, towels and other things for the house. This will be an ongoing process for years to come. Love!

I can't wait to get into that house and make it our own! I'm going to take a million pictures. This is a milestone in our lives I want to capture it!
