My new front door...
It comes with its own skeleton key.
Seriously....
could I have designed this any better if I tried ?
We did the walk through today, it all looks good!
Now, if the bank can just get their ducks lined up, we'll sign the papers Friday.
I took 75 pics today of the empty house,
and I promise to post most if not all of them before the end of the week.
Be sure to take the tour on my sidebar to tide you over until then.

You want another teaser?
You see these killer signs on our barns?
They're all staying!!!
Somebody pinch me, I thought for sure
the owner would be taking these babies with him.

Wow Anne, your place is just absolutely beautiful. I could see you for many years to come, sitting on your porch, on a cool evening (we do occassionally have those in Texas don't we). Happy for you, T
Oh how great! I am sorry the bank is taking so long! I cannot wait to see your beautiful new home!

Okay, you got me with the signs! The front door was the first tease, but I LOVE old vintage signs! Those are awesome, especially since they are staying!
Take care, Sue
The door and the crystal door handle are really beautiful! It's beyond charming. I love that you get to keep those signs too! What luck!

Oh, wow...can't wait....hope I don't forget and miss it!
How exciting! I have my fingers crossed for Friday.
Anne,
I love the signs on the barn! I collect antique signs. The Fairfield House came with a huge ring of skeleton keys -- one for each of the doors in the house! Yes, we use them all. It's the only way to lock the doors. So happy for you!
Your Friend,
Deborah
Can't wait to see the pictures! Ooooooooh! How cool you get the signs. Those are really neat!
Hugs,
Nancy
Score! Love that doorknob and key!
Anne, I wish you all the best. Having gone through the house buying 5 times (can't believe it's that many) I know how hard it is sitting on the fence waiting for the t's to be crossed. Your're so excited-I guess it's like waiting for Santa Clause! I'm sure it will all go smoothly and Friday will be here before you know it.
Best,

Hi Anne! Oh, great! You have a skeleton key! OOHHH, I saw that scary movie! :)
Love the glass doorknob and your signs! You've got vintage signs and a coke sign! John Deere! Oh, how wonderful! Rest up, you've got lots to do! :)
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Honey your home is beautiful. I know you must be on cloud nine as I would be for sure.
Those signs are really great and their all yours now.
I am looking for a Mrs. Bairds Bread sign for my screen door in the kitchen. My dad retired from there and would love to put it on my door. Let me know if you find one.
Love
Maggie
The house I grew up in had a front door with a skeleton key. My parents finally replaced the door...the door went home with my brother and I took the key!
The signs on the barns are wonderful....don't let the American Pickers try to buy them from you!
Jane
Squeeeel! Love it!
I am sure Fri. will not get here soon enough. I can't wait to see the new pictures. Any time there is a change in life it can be so exciting. I hope to see you at Round Top this fall, Missy
OMG, it's like the universe has been hiding this house since who knows when and saved it just for you... I'm quite jealous. It looks fabulous. I would seriously be willing to hop on a plane if you ever have an "open house" to see it all dolled up with your magical touch! You are truly blessed... enjoy :)
:O
I love your barn, Anne and the signs are so cool! Hopefully you'll be able to move into your new house soon. I'm excited for you :-)!
Hugs,
Julia

Ok, I think I am ok to type this post now. So I am going to scream out loud in my office now "WHATTT????" Are you the luckiest girl on the planet??? That is unreal. First and gorgeous house, then I see it has property...and now a skeleton key with a super gorgeous glass door knob?? Too much, girl...just too much.
Thats it. I'm packin' my bags and movin' to Texas. Anything in the 'hood' for sale?? ;o)
I am a good neighbor that will mow your lawn while you are away and bring you treats when you are sick. Really. I am a good neighbor.

Many more teasers like this one and you may just find your name written on a bathroom wall!
Loving the key. Only in the hill country could you feel safe with just a skeleton key for security!

Naw! Pinch me. Surely the ex-owners will see the error of their ways! I am so jealous.
Brenda
We're all jumpin' up & down with you, Anne! HOW UBERLY EXCITING!!!
:)
Zuzu
Anne,
Be careful showing those signs, you will have American Pickers, knocking on your door! Great, exciting time for you.
Debbie
What a door!! Our old farmhouse came with a wonderful door, too, but for weather proofing to prevent cold Kansas, winter winds coming through, and for safety's sake, we had to put up a "real" door with good lock on it. I saved the old door and used it at the top of the stairway, though. I just love it, and am sorry it wasn't practical for the front of the house. I hope you get to keep yours there!!
you must be so excited! how wonderful to see it all empty and start from scratch!! have fun and don't work too hard! sending you hugs!! susan
