We bought our first home knowing that it would need a little bit of renovation before we could move in. We've been patching and painting and ripping out old floors for hours. I had no idea I was so handy with a pick axe. At least, I was handy until Jeff proclaimed me a safety hazard and took it away. You almost take out one toe and you lose all axe privileges. It's not like anyone even needs a pinky toe.
I haven't posted any pictures yet because I want to show you the before and afters since the renovation is pretty dramatic. But this morning we went over to the house early, so early that the fog was just barely lifting, and stood on our new front porch. I love that porch. It was the french doors and the little white railing that made me fall in love with the house. And this was our view from the top of the hill:
Won't it be beautiful when the leaves change? I'm on a mission to find the perfect set of rocking chairs to sip my coffee in. Yes, rocking chairs. Yes, I'm only 26. I'm southern, y'all.
Gorgeous view! I can’t wait to see your renovation photos.
wouaahhhh, That’s AN open mouth WOUAHH VIEW
i’m french (so my sentence might not be understandable for non french, sorry) but you know what i mean about the view…
Stunning. I can’t wait to see the house.
Oh man. I moved to texas a few years ago from georgia and that view makes my heart ache a little. Gorgeous.
Beautiful!!
Beautiful!! I can’t wait to see your house pictures!
Wow! So pretty. Can’t wait to see the befores and afters.
WOW! What a gorgeous view. I totally agree with you about the rocking chairs on the porch. My dream home will have a front porch and chairs to sit and gaze at God’s gorgeous creation in the morning. What could be better really.
Can’t wait to see the before and after pictures.
This view does require rocking chairs!!! I spent last weekend in the mountains, in a rocking chair with yummy coffee. That’s the good life!
We have rocking chairs too. BUT I am 3 years older than you..
Please take a picture of that view again when the trees are in full bloom! PLEASE!!
And you didn’t tell me about the new car! A new car and a new house? New car smell AND new paint smell? How can you handle the excitement!!!!???
I’m pretty sure there was an Olympic figure skater a decade or two ago that didn’t have a pinky toe, something about an accident in her childhood. So obviously you’re correct and they are optional.
beautiful!
can’t wait to see pics.
and please keep all your toes in the process.
