Even though we closed in mid-May, we actually just finished moving into our new house this weekend. (Since our apartment is pretty close, we’ve been taking over carloads whenever we visit, but this weekend we rented a truck and recruited some muscle for the big pieces!) One of my very favorite blogs is Young House Love, and I was so tickled to realize that we were both moving into new houses on pretty much the exact same timeline. Even though it makes me a bit anxious to look at these photos, I was inspired to share our right-now by their recent Day One post. Things can only improve from here! :) The only thing we’ve done so far is paint the main room (“Simply White” by Benjamin Moore colormatched to Glidden) and the guest room (“Healing Aloe,” also by BM and also colormatched). Master bedroom and bath Loft upstairs Guest room Second bedroom This isn’t a full tour; just a little peek at what we’re working with! Looking forward to sharing more progress with y’all soon :)

Seven months to the day after our first trip to look at houses, and two lenders, three contracts, four offers, and many inspections later, we are officially homeowners. (Or, co-homeowners with the bank, as John likes to say – ha!) I’m working on a post with all of the details, but for now I just wanted to give you a peek at the newest member of our family. We’re pretty excited about all that’s to come!
