He Told You So

So the previous owner was kind enough to leave a warning hanging on the walls of our soon to be home. He didn't mince words.  What that means for you, is that once we find ourselves knee deep in soggy popcorn and the sinking feeling that we may have bitten off more than we can chew, you don't have to feel sorry for us. We were warned. And in keeping with our obsession for doing everything the hard way, we tossed well-meaning caution aside and did this to ourselves! So if it's not as easy as it looks, takes longer than we expect, and goes wrong at the WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT, you can officially say, "He told you so."

Diamond in the Rough

It clearly wasn't the lush green grass that caught our attention. Nor was it the seductive whisper of a turn-key cottage, but we couldn't be more excited. There's something so exhilarating about transformation. The wide-eyed anticipation of potential. The embodied experience of getting hands dirty and working furiously to create in the real world that which only exists in the imagination! And so here we go. April 1st we close Escrow on this beauty. The one that made our youngest cry as he realized that his excitement was not going to be matched by his buddies'. Eight-year-olds don't quite know how to respond to bathrooms with brown carpet and  popcorn ceilings.  You may not either, but that's why we thought we'd invite you along on our journey to discover our diamond in the rough. We can't wait to share this fun new experience with you!
