Welcome to Our Home!

Why start another blog? We have had so much interest in the remodeling of our house, and love to follow other people's home remodels for inspiration and ideas. We recently moved into a fixer-upper cape cod that sits close to beach. As a little girl, I never dreamed of living in a cape cod especially one that is at the most 30 MINUTES from the ocean! My dream come true!! My husband grew up in an old Victorian and learned a lot from his father who is a contractor/plaster man. I don't think my husband really thought he'd buy an old 1940 cape cod either.

We made the decision to sell our basically brand new house that we had only lived in for a couple years and buy some old cape cod that was almost falling apart at the seams. But I still feel like even though we made the decision, we were being pulled toward this house. Not by our family or our friends; it was something much deeper than that. The truth is-when we got out of the car and first stepped onto the grass that Autumn day, I could see my kids running through the yard. I could see my husband mowing that grass while I raked the leaves underneath the huge, sagging, Magnolia tree that had been there for at least 70 years. Everything I felt in that yard suddenly overwhelmed me with the feeling of home. THIS was going to be our home. We liked our current house, but it never felt like home. The first house we lived in after we were married, where my husband carried me over the threshold the day we got home from our wedding-never felt like home. But even before I stepped inside, I knew this was to be our home.

Moving Day!
