Hey guys!! How are things going!? I’m popping in today with an update (of sorts) on our house situation! When we last left off here (in December?!?! Wut?) I mentioned that I had found my dream house and that we’d been working for months on due diligence.
Well, those months turned into a couple more months, a new architect, intense structural engineering reports, a new contractor, daily calls with my real estate agent Meghan (who is the BEST btw!) loads of prayers, and finally DUN DUN DUUUUUUN a contract! And the best news…We are set to close a week from today (!!!!)
Our house sold so fast it kind of made our heads spin. We moved everything into the storage unit(s) and moved ourselves into my in-laws basement. (Which has kind of put us out of project mode, but man oh man, is that going to change!)
Its been so hard to figure out what to share without compromising the situation. Its one thing to tell friends and family about your plans, and something else entirely to alert the entire internet (though I am 100% convinced that we are the only people crazy enough to tackle this renovation) not to mention its just generally a really touch and go scenario anyway.
But its been even harder not talking about it because man alive I’m SO FREAKING EXCITED!
So. If you’re the praying type, we could use it. If you’re the fasting type, we could use it. If you’re the good vibes type, we could use it. If you’re the show up and help demo type, we could use it. And if you’re the bring Girl Scout cookies type, WE. COULD. USE. IT.
Stay tuned!!
❤❤❤ so exciting!
We just bought our first house and we close one week from yesterday! I’m so excited to fill it with all the Vintage Revivals projects my heart can handle. : )
Can’t wait to see it.
So excited for you! I would totally show up and demo if I could. Can’t wait!
you said “mini house update”….does this mean you guys are joining the tiny house movement?! I kid..excited to see!!
Yay, so excited for you guys! Can’t wait to hear more.
this is like a soap opera..the suspense is killing mee! Sending good vibes!
I’m sure its going to be a great journey for you guys.
i wish we were closer! (we’re just north of SLC). we’d totally be the show up and help demo type. especially when it’s not our own house haha. good luck!!!!!
I’m so happy for you and your family! Can’t wait for more updates 🙂
So happy for you!! Thanks for sharing the update!
Also, would love What’s Happening in Waldo to come back!
My guess is you’re renovating an old firehouse or bank or something of the like. Just tell us already!
Exciting… sounds like it will be a major rehab. I remember you posted an old house once- is it that one?
I’ve got my fingers crossed it’s one of those beautiful old homes downtown. Maybe even one that has been horrendously turned into apartments. I’d love to do that!
My guess is you’re buying a major reno house and HGTV will be documenting the process in your own vintage revivals tv show!!! Or something like that…maybe? Anyway, the suspense is literally killing me. My ghost will have to check in to get the update when it posts!!!
Cheering you and your sweet family from California! Keep on keeping on, I am sure this surprise is going to be great:)))))
I am so excited for you and your family! And anxiously awaiting the reveal 🙂 Whatever you have decided to tackle I am sure you will make it amazing!
