We Own a House

Have you missed me? It's been a whirlwind week! We finally have a house of our own! We're finally done renting! We're the proud owners of a 1955 ranch with 1700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths on a half acre. For those of you who are wondering, we decided to buy the fixer-upper in the good neighborhood with the great elementary school instead of the amazing house in the not so great neighborhood. It feels like it was the right decision for us. It's good to know that we can stay in this house for 10 years if we want, and not need to move to get into a better elementary school zone.

It needs so much love. I'll be honest, it's a little daunting. But our plan is to take on one project at a time, with little steps, until it's updated. I'm excited to share the progress we make with all of you!
That's our home inspector up on the roof.

A complete house tour will be coming soon!

  1. It looks beautiful, and your so lucky to have a half acre thats practically unheard of in Caifornia unless you have tons of money. We just bought a house last September and we are still renovating it, I can't believe its almost a year and we still haven't moved in.
    Congrats on the house and being a homeowner I can't wait to see you guys on t.v
