Our House is on the Market

This house is wonderful. I love it and don't want to move out of it. However, we are having to look at other options for our future, including one or both of us going back to school. In order to do that, we need less bills and smaller bills and we would probably have to move to a different region of the state. We aren't planning a move right now (stop freaking out!) but we are aware of the possibility for that need. So, all that being said, our fabulous little cottage in Blowing Rock is now on the market.


One great thing about the listing of our house is that we are finally getting around to a dozen projects that we'd had on the list of things to do but never had the full justification for doing them. It is amazing what you will live with in your own home but don't expect a purchaser to live with! So, we are looking into new screen doors, I'm adding hanging rods to two closets, we've added some extra shelving, I'm painting the stairs and my brother is supposed to be coming over to finish a couple of ceiling fan projects. Henry is pressure washing the house and then we are painting the window exteriors before it gets too cold. I'm trying to clear out the basement (parting the Red Sea might be easier!) and cleaning up my photography/project nook upstairs. I'd love to overhaul the yard, but that is back-burner for now. A girl still has to work and get a bit of rest, you know!!














I'll link to the listing and the MLS # is 79666 so you can take a look at it. I may put some before and after project pictures up here as we go along. Send the info on to those you think might be interested in buying our house! Maybe I'll get some friend testimonials on the adorableness of my home. Ugh. I don't want to move - I just got the house the way I want it!! Oh well, such is the life of a home owner. : (
