During our long wait for a home, Jerry and I watched ridiculous amounts of HGTV. It's embarrassing really. But as I describe this house to you, imagine the narrator of
House Hunters, Property Brothers, or
Love It or List It. They are all basically the same show anyway.
A 1 1/2 story fully detached home with:
- 4 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms
- An open concept kitchen, dining, and living area
- not-so marble countertops
- an unfinished basement
- a detached garage
- and a fenced in backyard
And it's dripping in character which according to HGTV, just means it's a bit old.
There's a lot about the house that I love. I sit on the couch and stare at this staircase and our mantle, and feel like we have the cutest house ever. I love that it is not a cookie cutter house. No homes on the street match it. I love that I can see Joshua while I'm cooking, and I love the previous owners were good at decorating.
The house has its quirks. If you ever decide to come stay with us you will likely stay in a violent pink room. Maybe in the spring or summer we will get to that. I'm learning a lot about sump pumps, roofing, caulking, etc. The joys of home ownership.

The post I've been waiting for! I was wondering if you had moved in yet. You put a stitch in my side. 'Violent Pink?' :) You are too funny Michelle! The house looks wonderful! Congratulations!
I also love to watch HGTV. Your house looks awesome! Who wants a cookie-cutter home? You want one with "character" so you can put your "stamp" on it! Enjoy and have lots of fun dreaming of ways to make it your very own.
