I didn’t want to mention this until I was mostly through the process, but I’m under contract on my very first house! The inspection turned up no major issues, the appraisal is done, the loan is approved, and the closing date and time are set, so I think I may even get it!
Mine is the green one on the left.
Built in 1925, it is a two bedroom bungalow. The place is in fairly good shape, has a new roof, insulation, furnace and water heater. I’m not in love with the finishes the seller used, but that’s the fun part! She’s done all the hard work for me.
The second bedroom is so going to be my craft room. It has great light. I’ll see if I can fit a day bed in there too, so when my friends visit they don’t have to sleep on the couch! Eee!
This picture was taken in 1948. It's on file with the local historical society.
I’ve got a week and a half until closing, and I haven’t even started packing. Turns out I’m more attached to my rundown apartment than I thought I was. Actually, that shouldn’t be a surprise. I hate change so much I tried to refuse the new computer my work is trying to foist on me. 🙂

Have been meaning to get an update on this- and find out exactly where it is so I could surreptitiously walk by and check it out. Thanks for posting the photo so I don’t have to be a semi-stalker, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Yay! Thanks! It doesn’t look too spectacular in the photo, because it’s winter, after all, but I think I can make it adorable.
You will definitely take it from “cute” to “adorable” in a matter of no time, I’m sure Let me know if I can help you with anything while I’m in town (the 6th-8th of March). Can’t wait to see what you create!
I’m so excited! We’ll have to do some wine and painting when you are in town. Or just wine! Yay!
I’m so so happy for you!
Thanks! It’s going to be fun, I think. Even if I don’t paint everything a wild color 🙂
Congrats! Can’t wait to see what you do with the place. 🙂
Thanks! It’s fun to fix up old houses!
