It really wasn’t easy-peasy at all with baby Jack around, and I had to be all mentally prepared and stuff, but now I’m so happy I did it.
Our house is 114 years old and houses this age have gone through a lot of owners and a lot of different renovations.Typically, some good renovations, and some not-so-good.
Be on the look out for a farmhouse that you can live comfortably in NOW and work on little by little over time.When I say over time, I mean LOTS of time.Plan to not have anything change to be exactly what you want for at least 10 years.
Buy the house that fits with that plan.First on your list should be a kitchen and at least one bathroom that feel clean and comfortable to you.
They should be updated enough that you can just move right in and use them, even if they’re ugly.
You’ll also need a laundry room that you can use right away and somewhere cleanish and dry that you can store all of your stuff.So now the last of the harvest if coming off and we’re getting ready to till everything and start fresh next year.. Pumpkins are so rewarding even if you have ignored them all year..
In an attempt to make the front of our house look somewhat less abandoned, I moved this single urn out here.Maybe it doesn’t look so stunning, but it feels better to me, and that’s motivation to keep going, all year, 365 days.
I’m betting I can even find things to clean up out here during the Winter months too..If that doesn’t happen though, and I forget again about the power of these 15 minutes, can someone remind me in the Spring?.
