a place to rest our heads

After 8 long days of house hunting and discovering in our city and state, we have gone under contract on a beautiful home in South Carolina. While it's not exactly the home I was looking for when we started our search, I think it's going to be perfect for our family to live and grow into the future.

 I LOVE the big front porch. I can't wait to find some rockers and a swing!

The living room has a HUGE stone fireplace and mantle. 

 It's a nice big living room that's open to the kitchen. Perfect for entertaining!

The kitchen is probably where I compromised the most on my vision of my "perfect kitchen". We'll  change the tile squares above the sink and take down the wall paper, but other than that for now it's a wonderful kitchen (albeit not exactly my style if I choosing everything from scratch).

One rooms I'm so excited to have is the FROG. In South Carolina that is what they call the "Finished Room Over the Garage" usually known as a bonus room. It's a HUGE space and wonderful built-in bookshelves. The wallpaper and border is another item on my to-do list.

The Yard is quite large, but thankfully it's mostly natural space so we won't be saddled with a lot of yardwork right off the bat! It has a huge deck with built-in benches and a HUGE screen porch.

This house is truly a perfect house for entertaining. All we need now are some new South Carolina friends to come over and celebrate with us! That will be next on our to-do list!
