The house so far

After a year of keeping our eye out on the market, Lincoln and I decided to buy a house. It was the best house we had seen, in our price range, in the area we wanted to live. It is super close to both of our past apartments but as you can imagine it has about three times the space. I am so happy with all the natural light, defined spaces, pilates room and large kitchen. And Lincoln is happy to be close enough to bike to work, have a den all to himself, and a yard for lots of yardwork :)

We have very kind friends. When we moved Lincoln and I were overwhelmed with how much people offered to help us. We had so much help not only with the actual move, but help painting and organizing. Not to mention the million phone calls to my mom asking for design advice. (my mother is a saint, and a very talented one at that) We couldn't have had our house in order so fast without everyones help. We are truly grateful.

Since most of our house is organized, I am in heaven. Every day I tell Lincoln how much I love our new space. I absolutely love it. Here is a glimpse of what we have together so far:

It is a work in progress, but a work I am more than happy to progress on :)
