Our ‘New To Us Home’

by heather 26 Comments

0shares

Come see our ‘New to Us’ Home! It’s been a busy 2 weeks of moving and unpacking but we are officially moved in!

Come see our 'new to us' home! Sneak peak of the home we just bought and have moved in to and plans we have! #home #homeimprovement #exterior #outdoor

Our ‘New To Us Home’:

We are thrilled that we were able to find this gem in 3 days of house hunting! 

We really love it and the potential that it has.  

Right off the bat, we were instantly attracted to its curb appeal. 

I love the landscaping in the front: some ornamental grasses, purple coneflowers and lilies.

The front walkway to the door is interlocking stone.  I can’t wait to decorate the front doorway with a couple of urns, maybe a chair……

Our home has lots of windows as you can see so it’s very bright inside.

To the left of the front door is a window….that’s our office where I am sitting right now typing this! 

The upper windows above the garage are in my youngest boy’s bedroom.  He has two big windows so there is lots of light in his room too!

The window above the doorway is in our guest bedroom and the dormer window to the far left opens onto our living room below.

If you look to the right of the garage you can see a fence with a door in it that leads to our backyard. 

See those pine trees above the fence?  Those go all the way across our backyard, so we are very lucky to have a beautiful view of lush green forest.  This forest is government ‘protected’ land so it will never be developed.

I’ll post more pictures of the exterior and interior through the upcoming days and weeks, so stay tuned!  I can’t wait to get completely unpacked so I can start the fun stuff of painting and decorating!

So what do you think of our new home so far?  I think we are going to make many happy memories here!

Thank you SO much for coming by for a visit! I love to hear all of your comments!

    It looks beautiful, Heather! Knowing how short your house hunting time had to be, I’d say you did really well with finding something that matches your decorating personality (from the outside at least!) Lovely curb appeal and so nice for you to have that wall of pine tree privacy in the backyard. Since the day we moved in we have always wished there was a fence all the way around our backyard. We live on a corner so everyone can see right into our yard and watch us on the patio as they drive (very slowly) up the street. If it wasn’t for the awkwardly placed hydro pole we would have added one a long time ago!

    Can’t wait to see more and find out how you give it your special touch!

    Thanks Claire for your especially sweet comments! And thank you for your compliments on our home. It is really nice to have the privacy of the forest in our backyard and the smell of the pine trees! That’s too bad you have a hydro pole in an awkward place in your yard…maybe you could plant some trees along the sides to give you more privacy at some point…maybe you could transplant some from your cottage!

      Thanks Janel for your sweetie comments girl! We are loving our home, especially being home owners again and not renting anymore! As soon as we pulled into the driveway of our home, when we first saw it back in April, we had that ‘feeling’….you know the feeling of a warm and inviting home? It instantly felt like us. I think we will make lots of special family memories here! As soon as I unpack, I will be painting and decorating up a storm and giving you the ‘welcome to my home’ tour!

    It looks BEAUTIFUL. I love everything about the outside and cannot wait to get a sneak peek of the inside. I guess waving hello to you through your office window will have to do for now. You definitely found a gem now start creating memories 🙂

      Thanks Megan!! I think our new home is pretty too! Do you know when you get that ‘feeling’ just by pulling up to a house? Well I got it as we drove into the driveway of our home, it instantly ‘felt’ like our home! The garage door windows are great – lots of light for me to make future DIY projects!! Yeah!!

      We bought this home – no more renting! Which is great because the property manager we had for our last home was and is really nasty….Glad you like it – thanks for your sweet comments!

      We were so lucky Cheri, we saw over 30 houses in 3 days, it was busy! This one grabbed our hearts immediately as soon as we drove up to it, it gave us that instant connection!

      Thanks for the congrats , Holly! We are thrilled to have found our adorable new nest given the fact that we had such a short time to search for a home and it was in a completely different city….combined with searching for a new school for our youngest and sending our oldest to Military College….it was all ‘fast and furious’! Can’t wait to show you more of our home too. Good luck to you with your house hunting search, hope you find a beautiful home soon!
