Big New Adventure



So we just bought this. --> 
As an impulse purchase at an auction. It took us a year and a half to choose a CAR, so this was a little out of character for us. 

It's a 2300 sq. ft. English country style house with a lot of Tudor-style architecture. We absolutely love the style and the outside of it, but the inside is a total wreck. We are remodeling it slowly on our own, and so far it has been equal parts exhilarating and stressful. Take a look. 












It's full of interesting details like the arched front door here. It has a knocker and a little window covered in shutters that can be opened from the inside. It's very Keebler elves.





There's also this on the side of the house...






And this super fun gate on the other side...  




And there's a window box. I LOVE window boxes!













This gorgeous attic will (hopefully one day soon) become a kick ass Peter Pan-style nursery for the kids. 


I'll be posting pics here regularly along with little snippets of updates. Follow this blog to keep up with all our amazing / horrifying exploits!
