Our New Adventure!

So, in the most recent posts, I've been hinting at an exciting prospect for our family -- a new home! Well, we bought one....right next door! Our house hunt lasted about 2 months. There is not a whole lot of inventory in our price range or in the neighborhoods we like. So, when the house next door went on the market, we discussed it as an option. We had to make several compromises (not a one story, no fourth bedroom/separate office, small yard), but, in the end, it makes the most sense for our family at this time. We closed on it yesterday, but won't be moving in until we paint and replace the flooring. Probably mid-to-late April. We are in a lease in the current rental until then anyway, so it all works out. Here are some "before" pics for posterity. I will post more after we've made our changes.

This is an exciting milestone for us. Home ownership in CA, especially on the Central Coast, is a difficult thing to achieve. We feel very fortunate for the opportunity and the means to do it. God is good!

It looks lovely! Great potential, and some really nice features. Love all those cupboards in the kitchen, and I agree about the open staircase. Awesome! May God bless you in this house as you turn it into a home.
