AHHHH!! Seriously, I am SO dang EXCITED! We bought a house in October, and we'll be moving in this week. The best part?!? I GET MY OWN SEWING ROOM!! (second best part being we don't have to put up with a shitty neighbour across the hall!) Ohhhmygoodness I am so excited to have my own little space to keep all my sewing stuff and ongoing projects.
The new house is a late 1950's bungalow that was for sale by the original owner. It's in an up-and-coming neighbourhood, so we were happy to get in before the house prices sky-rocket (it's no Toronto, but houses ain't cheap in Ottawa!) The place is in really great condition, but needs some updating and a new coat of paint. The yard is a blank slate with lots of room for gardening, and I'll have a great backyard to take blog photos in! It even has a nice big window over the kitchen sink - one thing I always loved about the house I grew up in! We're just so darn excited to settle in and make this place our own. We really do love our current apartment (it's served us well for nearly 3 years) but it was time to branch out and have a home of our own.
