It's finally here - our official first house tour! There will be many more posts about this and about all the changes we make but for now - here is the first look INSIDE our new house! 

Living Room \\ When you first enter our home you will be in the Living Room. 

 Dining Room \\ Next you will run into the dining room.  I wanted to go with a Buddha theme here. 

This wall transitions into the Kitchen...

Kitchen \\ My favorite place! Mostly because there is a skylight!

Screened-In Porch \\ Our dining room leads out to the screened-in porch. 

If you look down our hallway you will find 4 doors.  Behind each door is...

The Office \\ Our office is amazing and even has in-wall storage.  This is also where the dog pee pads are and our pet rat, Hoodie. 

Across from the office is..

Master Bathroom \\ Enjoy!

And then next is...

Master Bedroom \\ Which is basically where James has his clothing, dresser, and some decorations.  

which has a small bathroom..

And then... the moment you have ALL been waiting for..... last but certainly not least....... the second bedroom/guest room/ my get ready room .... This room contains my closet, my dressers, a bed, and my vanity.

Stay tuned for a look at the basement, the garage, and the yard!

Um....So This Happened....

So, as many of you may already know, my plans after paying off my debt was to buy a house.   We have been looking for several weeks and it was so discouraging. Great homes were going off the market so fast and it was becoming nearly impossible to find a house with our main needs (and a few wants) and the perfect location.  So as of last Thursday evening I told my realtor, Amanda Marzella of Exit Realty,  that I was going to take a break for a little and give it some more time to wait for new houses to come on the market.  

Then Friday at work, a coworker asked me how the house search was coming and I explained that we just couldn't find anything "just right" for us so we were kind of putting it on hold for now.  Then I said "I know something perfect will pop up just for us."   Then I thought to myself "I bet I just jinxed myself."

So lo and behold I get back to my cubicle and I have an email notification from Amanda.  It's a house in my DREAM neighborhood.  Yes, back when I had my apartment I used to take walks in the surrounding neighborhood and imagine myself living in those houses. It's always been an ideal location and I've told people numerous times that my dream neighborhood would be that one.   I was so scared so I clicked into the listing and WOW - it had a 2 car garage AND new hardwood floors AND central air!!! I sent it to James right away, keeping in mind what Amanda had said just days before (If we find one we like we need to act FAST).   He agreed to a showing and Amanda had one set up for 6:30 that day. I was seriously thrilled and could barely focus at work.  The price of the house was a steal as well!  

We fell even more in love after the showing.   The inspection was yesterday (Thursday) so I wanted to wait till today to make sure everything was still going to go through.   Settlement is mid June... it's so true that "Life comes at you fast." These next few weeks will be a whirlwind but I can't wait. And I am so excited because I will have tons more posts from now on about the house, decorating, organizing, etc.   


So stay tuned.....
