As many of you may know, Ryan and I have been on the hunt for a place to live closer to where he works. We have looked mainly in Erie, which is 45 minutes south from where we live now. So not a massive move, but we are excited to branch out and expand our horizons.
Last March we looked at more than 20 houses, and chose one that we liked. Just liked, mind you. No serious lovin' going on. We decided to put an offer on it, but, long story short, the whole thing fell through in August.
The Saturday after we got back from Mexico we spent the day looking at about 5 homes. We fell in LOVE with the last one. It is located in a new development, and is a new house itself. Never been lived in. It's beautiful. After a short deliberation and good negotiations, we decided to go for it! We are losing nothing, short of a large backyard (which is nearly impossible in that area anyway), that we really had our hearts set on to have in our home. This is a house we could live in for forever, assuming that Ryan never works too far away from that area. And to top it all off, I'll get a gourmet kitchen AND the laundry is on the top floor. I will be one happy housewife!!
The interior is currently drywall, but the exterior is completed. Here she is!
I have no idea how to decorate this new home. It doesn't help that we don't currently have sufficient furniture to fill it, but what about colors? And nick-knacks? I love how our home looks now, but I want our new home to really shine. Any ideas or tips are gladly welcomed.
We are so excited to move into this house, which should be the first part of November. And you know what? I'm pretty excited to get to move into a place that does not have an "Apt" in the address.

So excited for you!!! My first suggestion for you is sign up with freecycle.org. It's an online site where people list what stuff they're getting rid of and are trying to not just throw away, and then people respond to their posts if they want the stuff. We've gotten a really nice coffee table, couches, dressers, etc. that way. =) I'm excited for you to be able to spiff out your new home. Yay! =)
It is such a nice looking house! I can't wait to see pictures of the inside when it is finished.... and even better, I can't wait to visit you there and see it in person! Congratulations!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yay!!!!!!!!!I want to come see it! I'll go shopping with you for decorations! I'm good at helping other people spend their money! Stay away from me maybe, I'm an enabler ;) It's SOOO pretty!!!!! Where is it exactly? And a gormet kitchen!!!That's so perfect!!!
Congratulations! My parents live in Erie. You may be in the same ward :)
Oh this house looks so great, and a place anyone would love to live in forever. I'm happy for you and Ryan. What an exciting time!
