Confession time... I'm getting a little bit excited... but don't tell! I don't want to jinx it. I have a song and it goes like this, "New house, new house! LALALALA!" It's very annoying. I'm quite proud of it.

If all goes according to plan, we close on Thursday. And then? Well, I guess we'll eventually move in. Next week I'm taking a bit of vacation to start packing and job hunting. You'd think that with only two people in our tiny 725 sq. ft. house, it would be a cinch to move. Wrong. We have so much stuff that sometimes it feels like we live in a storage unit... one of those plush units with temperature control... but still. I have a LOT of work ahead of me.

Here's a link to our new neighborhood Brady Heights. It is the awesome.

I've also begun a little bit of planning for the great amount of cosmetic remodeling the house will require. So, without further stalling... here is the very first picture from the new house to appear on the blog! Woohoo!



We'll start out small. Behind the dining room there is a second living area without much purpose. Chris and I have dubbed it "The Mystery Room". Since there is already a breakfast nook off the kitchen and we'll be using the third bedroom as a joint studio, most likely we'll be using the Mystery Room as a study. The space has a half bath attached to it as well as a door to the outside. Because of its lack of purpose and distance from the front door, as well as it's current status as the ugliest room in the house, we've decided to start our renovations here. Paint stripping will come first and hopefully the wood underneath will be gorgeous after a little staining. Add some Orla Keily wallpaper from Anthropologie, some paint, a fixture from Schoolhouse Electric ...and we're all set! I hope you guys enjoy my Photoshop mastery. If you have any advice or suggestions, let me know.
