Welcome to our blog!

This is our story of finding our dream house and making it a home for our family.

We are the type of people that often go through open houses in our neighborhood because we are into older homes and their architecture. Five years ago or so, we were living in a small (750 square foot) house that we were renovating room by room. As we neared completion we remembered a house that we had gone through that we both agreed was absolutely perfect for our second home, but was outside of our price range. We noticed that it was still for sale and asked our realtor to take us through it again. We fell in love with the house all over again, and much to our surprise, the price had reduced down to our price range. It was meant to be!

We have now been in this 1933 Tudor style home for four years. As the years go by we have been tackling it one project at a time trying to bring back the modernized areas of the house to their 30's glory.

We plan to share our progress so far with you as well as our plans for the future.

We have been married for six years now and have three adorable miniature dachshunds and are about to increase our family by one more as we await the arrival of our first child, a baby girl, early next year.

We love our cozy cottage and we hope you do too!
