making our new house a home

we did a thing!


jason & i just moved into our new 3-story suburban townhouse one week ago today.

just before christmas, this house was added to our "visit" list pretty much by accident. the list of houses we had made for our realtor started to dwindle a few days before we were scheduled to visit. one by one, each house became pending or contingent, and in turn, our hope of finding a house was just that... hope.

though i instantly fell in love with this property's photos on the MLS, it happened to be an hour away from my job, and i told myself i couldn't move somewhere with that long of a drive. jason convinced me to look at it anyway, and sure enough, it happened to be "the one." seconds into the tour, we just knew this was meant to be our home. we were on the phone with our mortgage lender before we could even walk out the door! and naturally, within hours of visiting, interior design ideas began flowing through my brain nonstop and my "maison" pinterest board grew probably 100%. two and a half months later, it is finally ours!

though this is only a brief version of the very long story of our multiple month house hunt, i don't think i could be more in love with a house!

stay tuned as we make this house a home the best way we know how! with metal & burlap. (& love, of course.)

sooo many more boxes than pictured. ;)

portillos on moving day, because, why not?

  1. Congratulations on your new home! I know what you mean about a long drive, but, if the home is right that more than evens things out. Having a great home you love is just greatly important. The flooring in the home looks great! Home hunting is really hard, but in the end, you always get what you really want!
