Welcome.....


...to our new home!

Click here for the tour.


We made an offer, they countered,
we countered back, they accepted.
Bam, just like that. All in under 24 hours.
When it's right, it's right!

We close in August,
so we won't be moving for a little while.
Which is perfectly fine with me,
as we need to get our current home ready to sell, too!

I'm going to take a blogging break this weekend,
so I wish each and every one of you a very happy and safe Fourth of July!

Hugs Galore,

  73. Just a note to thank you for stopping by my humble blog...and leaving a comment.
    Can I say I love those transoms above your doors. The only place I have ever seen those is is schools or places like that. Anyways, I love em...
    drop back in when you aren't too busy working on that beauty of a house...
    congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  74. YES!YIPPEEE, HURRAH! I am thrilled to bits for you, heartfelt congratulations! I am glad you are not moving real soon though, lol, very selfish of me, of course. But I will be away for a couple of months, at the cottage in France, until middle September without internet access, and I so much want to be around when you start your work on the house!

  77. Anne-I just ADORE this house! It really is just so perfect. The rooms are such charming spaces and even the paint existing paint color are so pleasing and inviting. Let this new adventure begin for you!

    My retail space is doing pretty well. We just finished the 2nd month and I was able to cover my rent and get a little bit of $$$. I've learned so much in the past few months and it's amazing when you think somehting will DEFINITELY sell right away and it doesn't and then of course the opposite happens all the time. I have quite a few furniture items in there and it seems a little crowded. I'm hoping some of those find new homes real soon so I can do some rearranging and bring in a few new pieces. I have a few old school desk that have been three almost 2 months now. I think I'll rotate those out until the fall.

    The important thing is that I'm having lot of fun and the Consignment Store owner is a delight to work with and see a couple times a week. She is working very hard to make the business a success and I want to do well for her. I love to see "young" women (in her late 20's) take on such a big challenge and color outside the lines of the corporate world. I applaud her and women like her.

    Happy 4th to you. I know you have your work cut out for you getting your house ready to sell. I look so forward to seeing your house transform over the next several months.

    I'm so happy for you.

    hugs,
