the highland project.

whoa man. big news here, people. i hope none of you were too attached to our little house we've been renting for the last year-and-a-half...

it's cute {little}, and it functioned {mostly}, but it wasn't ours. but now...

we've got a HOUSE OF OUR OWN! hip, hip, HOORAY!

most of you probably know that we've been looking to buy a house for quite a while now, but things finally came together and we are all moved in at our new place!

here are some quick pictures of the place i snapped as fast as i could before the movers started filling the house up.

front door and entry way.

kitchen. needs. some. work.

office. with paneling. and a chandelier {i think it was used as a dining room before?}. but oh, the paneling.

big living room. and big window. and shiny floors.

hallway.

hall bath. with aqua tub and sink. and i actually love them.

guest bedroom.

master bedroom.

notice how juliet was checking out the house as i was taking all these pictures. makes me laugh.

and somehow i failed to get pictures of our master bath or the entire basement. or the outside of the house. so, be patient.

and obviously the house doesn't look like this anymore. it's filled to the brim with all my crap belongings. but it's not pretty, just yet. not even close, really. but at least there's furniture. but i will try my best to update you all on our progress with the house. it's going to take some work, but that's one of the reasons austin and i liked this house so much. because it's not perfect and it's not cookie-cutter. there's things we need to update {hello, kitchen} and there's things we want to create {like finishing a den area in the basement}. all of the things we'll do to this house will make it ours. and it will be perfect. someday.

and ps, "the highland project" is what i've titled our work-in-progress home, because i'm cheesy like that.

also, listen up, friends and family.

come. visit. me. please. now. today. please.

we have a spare bedroom and a daybed in the office. and a big squishy couch. and i expect you to come stay with me soon. juliet misses you all.
