That house has seen a lot over the years. So much, in fact, that I can't sum them up here. Stories I feel that need their own separate posts. Stories that make the house a Home.
So why an entire blog dedicated to a house built 60+ years ago? After having a few conversations with my Grandma, I've made it known how much I want them to leave the house to me. And I don't want to come off as greedy or even morbid, but I really do love that house and it pains me to think of someone else living in it who doesn't cherish it nearly as much as I do.
The other reason I've decided to start a blog about this house is because when it does become mine, it is going to need some updates. And I don't want to make any rash decisions that I will end up regretting. You see, I've never been much of a ig-scale planner. Take my wedding, for example. I know plenty of girls who had every last detail of their wedding planned by the time they were 14. Me? I still didn't know what I wanted the day of the ceremony. (Seriously, I was scrolling through my iTunes library for our first dance song the morning of when I was getting my hair done. Which I also didn't have a plan for...I just told my friend Marcie to do whatever she thought would be good.) My point? I figure if I start pulling ideas together now, when I have the house (and the money to update it), I will have a good, solid idea of how I want each room to turn out.
So, here it goes. My Dream Home, Phase I: Ideas!
And yes, I am aware that the timestamp on this post also says it's 2025, but I wanted this post to be first in the line-up :-)
