We moved in to our fabulous new house about a month ago. I ended up getting a full-time job one week before moving day, so things have been a little hectic. But I finally got things put away, and most of the boxes cut down and put out at the curb.
I love this house. The kids love this house. Their friends love this house...and are jealous. "Man, I wish I lived here!"
It's not a fancy house; it's very comfortable. We don't have frilly curtains or doilies on the tables or antimacassars on the chairs. I would say that we don't have any antiques, but I ended up buying two pieces from the previous owner--a kitchen table and a buffet. But we USE them--I don't go around polishing them.
I'm looking forward to Christmas; this house was MADE for Christmas decorations! I may need to bite the bullet and hire professionals to do the design, this first year, since I have never had a house decorated well, before.
But it's the kind of house with a porch, with rockers and a porch swing. I sat out there the other night while my son played with Hot Wheels cars. I would love to have a "porch party". I'm hoping some (or lots) of our family and friends will come visit us and sit awhile!
Our neighbors pick up my son one day a week, and this last time, he and their son were playing, and the dad said, "You can ride M's bike,".
