SQUEEEEEEL!! Here she be! The newest latest and greatest love of my life:)
She was born in 1922 and I love her:)
Aaaand, she just so happens to be right across the street from my old place:)
I TOLD you my world is very small!!
She's adorable, but definitely in need of some lovin:)
While I was at work last Tues, the hubby up and decided to move us in.
Yep. For the first time in 25 years, we're gonna LIVE in the renovation.
We crazy like that:)
Here's my lovely back porch. Everyone laughs when I say this- but I'm not kidding this time! We are NEVER, EVER, EVER moving again!! EVER. EVER!!
I did get a little treat today:) say hello to my new fab WHITE washer and dryer. What? Isn't every one's laundry room on the back porch?? The delivery guy looked at me like I was completely insane when I told him to hook them up there. And he's right, I was insane. I hadn't done laundry in a week. And for me? that's complete insanity.
The white beauties need only to hang there on the porch for a few months till they can move inside to their newly renovated laundry room:)
Oh! And I reunited with this cutie that I bought from Sweet Salvage a while back. She went straight to storage when I got her, so I hardly remembered what she looked like!
Is she a-dorie-able or what!!??
Sooo, needless to say I'm going crazy over here trying to get this new place all set up!
I promise pics and deets next week!! :)
You've already moved in? Oh my goodness! Yay more decorating. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Stacey!!
DeleteYeah, the hubby worked his magic while I was at work last Tuesday! I came home and it was all done. He's a keeper that one!!
OMG how exciting!! She IS a beauty too....I can't wait to hear all the details :o)
ReplyDelete~Des
I want to come see sometime...no, really! I am at Broadway and Lindsey. I know it is going to be cute...and I am NEVER moving again!
ReplyDeleteSure! Let me know when you're in the area, if I'm home I'll let you come have a look see!
DeleteCongratulations! So exciting! Looking forward to seeing you transform the place!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Can't wait to see her!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely precious cottage! What fun you will have decorating!
ReplyDeleteSo is your son back in the little tiny? Can't wait to see what you plans are for this one. How many square feet is it?
ReplyDeleteActually, my son is living with us and decided to sell the little tiny. Weeell, when I mentioned it to a friend, she had her friend come look at it and she bought it! Just like that!! It never even hit the market:) The new place is 2200 sq.ft. I think? With a cute little guest house in the back:)
DeleteLove her too! Can't wait for the pics and the cupboard is really cute how could you stand putting it in jail oops storage?
ReplyDeleteI know! It WAS painful putting her away! I just clung to the hope that someday we would be reunited again;)
DeleteCute cute cute! We, too, say every time we move that it's the last time...maybe you'll have better luck than we do!
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! So excited for you! I've thought of you often, running along your street in preparation for the Phx Marathon (which will run right by you in a few weeks...heads up...a few thousand people!) and wondering if one of those beauties was going to be yours!!! Congrats- can't wait to see you work your magic!
ReplyDeleteI know how much you loved that neighborhood so I'm glad you get to be there again! I just realized a week ago that the place I go for physical therapy is three blocks north of the Teeny Tiny. I was going to see if I could stop by before an appointment but I guess that's not an option anymore! Congratulations on the new house!
ReplyDeleteohhh, she's so pretty. i can't wait to watch her grow :)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with her just as she is! But can't wait to see her grow beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAny other beauties available in the neighborhood? Seriously...we are ready to downsize and do our first
THAT'S the million dollar question! The houses around here rarely go up for sale. I'll keep my ears and eyes open and let you know if any do!
DeleteOur first reno
ReplyDeleteOh my! Can't wait to see you work your magic on her! Don't worry about the laundry situation..you are in Arizona...it's not like it's going to snow on you!
ReplyDeleteA-dorie-able! Love it! Never moving again? I think you are single-handedly restoring the whole neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteHi Dorie
ReplyDeleteI can't keep up with you.Thought you'd stay in the teeny weeny til you'd done your new reno.
Take it from someone who's lived in a reno site it's not alot of fun at times.
I'm sure it will all be beautiful.
Kind Regards
Karen
PS: I'm never ever renovating again the odd paint job a little rearranging but NO RENOVATING
It was great meeting you yesterday at FOUND. Love the store. And it was funny you were wearing black and white stripes :). Best of luck in new renovation. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to follow you through the "reno" journey...I really think you are going to need to post more often than just Tuesdays to keep us caught up on the progress!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I just knew it was a new house when you announced it!! Congrats. I can't wait to see the transformation. You and your hubby are incredibly talented. Glad little tiny has a new owner...that's an adorable home too!
ReplyDeleteZowie...super excited to see this house start to finish! I'm from Crazy Weather Central (aka Indiana), can you really leave your washer and dryer outside in AZ?! I'd love to have my son in the guest house :)
ReplyDeleteI know you will be able to make this place look wonderful, too.
ReplyDeleteI have been adding greens to my home after reading your blog-love all
the greens you have. I started moving the blue in my house out-a little
at a time. I live in Florida-pale blues, aqua, sand and indigo have been
a great color choice for our home's interiors. I have 3 sons, too-so blue
was a given. But I am happy to see some green!
Do you get city permits for your work?
