What a long ride home it has been. We hit a halt in the rode before our last closing and did not buy the yellow house with the big front porch. We backed out of the contract during our option period due to me just not being 100% comfortable with the neighborhood it sat in. It was pretty rough, a transitional neighborhood. I thought I could do it, but after spending many of days sitting on the front steps of that house I realized that I was about to take away a freedom from the kids that they have in our current area where they can actually walk to a friends house or ride their bikes down the street. Funny how things work, and how ultimately when we fell off our path we were supposed to be on...things just do not work until you get back on the right path. This is life. And so...we found a house, a tiny house with a small closet in each bedroom and no extra closets in the house other then where the washer and dryer live. It is a Ju-Nel Mid Century modern home. This just happens to be my husband and my favorite architect in the world...So, when one came on the market in our price range we jumped fast! We are in option now, inspection are tomorrow. I am totally in L.O.V.E. with the lines of this house, the double sided fireplace, the old vintage kitchen, the cool floors. Everything does happen for a reason, really. The owner added a detached 2 car garage in the back thankfully, so we can store the vacuum cleaner and essential items one would normally put in a closet. I am going to have to pair down my clothes, and shoes and just keep what I love. This is going to be fun. I am super pumped up about this house and am so excited to go on this journey. We should move into our Casa Not So Grande next month! Until then....I will be picking out the mid century modern vintage wallpaper for the kids room. It is going to be so fun to decorate this house. Luckily we just moved out of a mid century modern so we already have the furniture.
Cheers!
