Well, it ain't pretty in the slightest, nor is it the least bit "Christmas-ey",
but I figured I owed you guys some house shots, so here they are.
In case you're not up to speed, we are currently vying for the Guinness World Record
for the longest relocation from one house to another.
I think we have a pretty good chance to win!
We're still not moved in, so that would account for the sparseness of decor.

What you're seeing:
The Master Bedroom.
What's going to change:
Obviously, there will be bed linens.
Still looking for window treatments.
And nothing has been hung on the walls yet.
See that circa 1990s Broyhill dresser on the left in the pic above?
It's going to be painted and the knobs will be changed out.

The little nightstand to the left of the bed
will move to the guest bedroom and be replaced
with something more substantial.

Looking out from the Master into the entry hallway...
Moving across the hallway...
What you're seeing:
The Living Room
What's going to change:
There will be some rugs down.
There will be new window treatments.
The furniture placement will change,
and there are several more large pieces coming in here.
And this?
Just a little sneak peek at my dreamy
Carol Hicks Bolton sofa.
Carol Hicks Bolton sofa.
Back home in Fredericksburg at last,
home of the original, iconic Homestead store where I purchased it
So that's it for now.
I can't wait for you to see
how it ends up all pulled together.

Have a happy week ahead,
and this SHOULD be the week when I'm able to reveal my secret! ;-)

Uhhh yep. I still have sofa envy. Now I have house envy on top of it. Oy! ;)

I still can't get over how cool your new house is, Anne. I adore the way the rooms flow, the big windows, the windowed door in your bedroom, all the wood floors......soooo pretty! I can imagine how much fun you're going to have dressing it up once you get all moved in! If you need votes for that Guinness record, you've got mine! lol!
xoxo laurie
Hi Anne, everything is looking wonderful, can't wait to see more... love the Carol Bolton sofa!!!

I am completely charmed by it already...can't wait to see it finished. Enjoy the season Anne!
mind if I drool on your sofa...?
It's coming along!! Let me know when you are officially in, okay? xo Ann
Anne,
Only you could have a sparsely decorated home look beautiful! I like it so far; the hall rug is awesome as is the living room furniture. I love it! This is so much fun to see, but I am sorry that you have had such a long wait to get into the house. I hope you will be soon!
Hugs,
Nancy
It will be WONDERFUL!!!!
Blessings

Love how the house is coming together - your furniture is so yummy! I don't know how you are keeping a secret this long .. I always spill the beans.
Anne, I feel the same way... It seems as though we will never move into the new little house! This week I was feeling disapointed that we will not be in the house for Christmas, so I decided to just enjoy the whole process of getting there. I think the planning and dreaming of how it will all eventually be is part of the fun. kind of like planning a vacation is part of the fun... ( :
I am so excited to see your home complete.
Have a pretty day!
Kristin
I LIKE what I see! Can't wait to see more!!
Take care, Sue
Things are really looking great! Everything is going to come right together. You have done a lot, even though you may not think so. I am so excited to find out about your secret. I don't wait very well, but I promise to try!!!Have a wonderful week. Love & blessings from NC!
You will have it exactly like you want it soon! It takes time and you have the touch. I think it looks great and I know you are just happy to be in! Have a great week!
How fun! House looks awesome.~Enjoy Kim
It's beautiful and it's going to be more beautiful. Love keeping up with it all.
It's looking good, Sweetie Pooh!! Can't wait till you have all things in this sweet house and you put all your magic to it.

Hi Anne, I had to come back for another look... I want a little farmhouse so bad!... we had the one we built over 25 years ago that I posted about some time ago, but moved when greedy developers took over the countryside around us and put in billions of cookie cutter houses that all looked the same and spoiled everything... but I want to move to a new "old" one... I LOVE your transom window and your door with the lace panel in your bedroom... so reminds me of my grandma's home... I want transom windows and doors like that in every room of my house!... hope you don't mind if I keep inviting myself back... xoxo Julie Marie
It just oozes charm Anne. Fluffing the nest is so fun...excited for you:)
It is already so
YOU, Anne! And
my heart is all
aflutter about your
big reveal.....
Nothing better than
Christmas secrets : )!!
Happy Monday,
xx Suzanne
I love the feel of it Anne- the way the light filters in...perfection!
Happy new week my friend.
xo~

Everything worthwhile takes time and I know you will have it all looking fabulous when the time is right. I loved the picture of your hubby working on a dresser with kitty watching from the top. Just adorable! We need a Physics and Chemistry teacher at school so send him on over to Kuwait. HA! Hope all is well. I know how it is being busy all the time. The days are just flying. Wishing you all the best, Tammy
Your house is just filled with potential. It's already fantastic as is. I can't wait to see the finished results. I'm loving your "Paris" mat btw...
DELICIOUS SOFA!
Oooh, a secret! I love secrets.......

Hurrah, at last we are seeing glimpses of your new home. I so love seeing all your bits and pieces, and I am trying to imagine how everything will look when you have implemented the changes you have planned. Oh do hurry up, please, the suspense is just too much ;-)

Your new home seems to have a lot of wonderful light, and what I see so far of your moving in looks great in it! You and Mr. Twig are perfect for this house becasue you know how to dress it in its appropriate finery and I am so enjoying each post!

If one day you come home and the cabinet in your entryway - along with the chair in your living room should be missing...
I promise I'll leave a pocketbook in their places.

And in your master bedroom, that little built-in cupboard and the style of the door to the left of it....on my!!! Talk about charming! Your house already has such good bones and so much character. Your personal touches are going to make it a HOME!
