This...
Is to become this...
It is definitely what you would call a fixer upper, but it's a house. A whole house, with stairs all of our own. I can hardly imagine such a thing. It is only being rented so we don't have free reign over it, but what we do have is two floors, three bedrooms and a whole heap of space to fill. Oh, and a garden, A GARDEN! I can't explain how incredibly happy this makes me.
Hopefully this means Bean will start sleeping again without the constant sirens; no longer sleeping next to the kitchen. I may get more than 40 minutes at a time to myself. Such things are surely just fantasy. But I can dream and, gosh darn it, I will! Hip hip hooray!

Fantastic news - you were sounding unhappy with your flat. This will be better - double yay!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new move! Hear, hear to new beginnings :)
ReplyDeleteOh Congratulations! That is super lovely! The carpet is actually fantastic...you can totally work with that! Just really pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal! Thank you for your nice comments in my blog and for joining. Congratulations for the house and the garden!! I feel you completely. I want to move So bad. Own house would be perfect - but just not possible at the moment. I hope someday. Fortunately dreams are always available. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy tuesday to you and yours!
Nova :)

Ohhh, sounds so exciting! And thanks for your lovely comments on my blog recently. So exciting that you're coming to Bath!
ReplyDeleteYou have to head to the junk shop for new bits for the house...it's on Julian Rd and is only open from 10am to 12, but is totally worth the trip...get there at 10 though as the good stuff goes quick! Have an awesome time xx
And a garden too? Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you :)
How exciting! Have fun setting up a new home x
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased for you reading this post. And there's lots you can do in rented properties to make them your own. You will have it looking splendid in no time, I'm certain.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comments! I feel somewhat overwhelmed by so many people lovely thoughts and wishes- thank you :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be quite the adventure I will post lots and lots of photos of the developments. We are very lucky as it is actually Hubble's nan's house which we are renting so we have got quite a lot of flexibility with the decoration- sorry the carpet has already gone (it was 30 years old and only in the lounge!).
I am incredibly excited, it feels like a whole new chapter of our lives together is starting. Yeay for new beginnings (and no sirens!!)

just here for the first time since i saw your picture on my blog. how exciting to move into a home! i look forward to the day to approach myself soon. we've been moving all over the place for my husband's medical studies and are in an apartment now. next place (come january) will hopefully be a house. a rented one as well, but the garden part really gets me excited too! i look forward to coming back here and seeing how you set up house. i love all the pictures you've collected.
