OUR NEW HOME!!!

Zack and I are soooooo sooo sooo excited to be moving in to this gorgeous, built-in-1900 home!

Can. Not. Wait! :]

I’m in love with all the details: original hardwood floors {swoon}, original wooden built-ins, beautiful stained glass accent windows, the parlor, the living room with fireplace, the oversize wooden pocket doors, the antique glass door knobs…

We have spent weeks searching high & low for the perfect home. It has been a little stressful, but it was so clear to us this past week that God picked this house for us.

{Quick skip around our current apartment…}

Can you imagine all the skipping I can now do in our new home? We’ve doubled the square footage {yeow!}… I don’t even know how to decorate for a home this size. We’re renting the entire main floor.

Oh yes, we’re going to L ♥ V E living here :]

*

So now it’s time to pack up and prepare for our move within the city! Things are going to be a little crazeee around here — but I’m so excited to have an entire room just for GUSSY + a separate room for my office! Yeowwwww!

I’ll keep you updated!

    CONGRATS!!! I grew up in a 1900s Victorian ~ the leaded glass, the enormous *and gorgeous* pocket doors, the HUGE ceilings!! love.Love.LOVED it! But it’s ruined me for life…no single story mid-century ranch [like the house we’re in now] will ever be able to live up to it.

    Congrats! It looks absolutely fabulous from outside an very noble inside. How are you going to furnish it? I cannot quite imagine modern, stylish furtniture there – it would be an interesting mix of styles, though. Nevertheless, good luck with getting the place ready.
