Our Old House |
We bought a house... An old house. Here's the story. |
We weren’t even looking for a house. We got engaged last summer and have a wedding planned for July. Buying a home was supposed to happen later… after the wedding. But we found it. About ten doors down from the house where I grew up (and my parents still live) was a foreclosure with our names on it.
With an amazing handyman dad, many knowledgeable friends, and months of an HGTV addiction to guide us we made an offer. After months of stressful emails and paperwork, waiting, negotiating, and more waiting we bought this true fixer-upper. Our open minds saw a house “pregnant with potential” but damaged by years of terrible taste and poor design decisions.
If everything goes according to plan (not that anything about the process has so far) we will be homeowners in two days!
Stay tuned…
