Hey, I’ve got a house!
Cute, no? (It’s cuter when the day isn’t so overcast.) I think fifty-five days must be some sort of record for moving to another country, finding, and closing on a home. It’s in very good shape inside, but there’s a false ceiling issue in one of the bedrooms, and none of the current paint colours is to my liking, so we’re going to start working on that today.
It’s a three-bedroom house; the front half was built in 1917, and the back was added in 1952 (I think). You can’t tell, of course, except in the basement, where the newer half is considerably less scary, but the original footprint of the house must have been tiny.
I’ll start taking before and after shots today, although I’ll be surprised if we get to any ‘afters’ by today, even in the smallest rooms! Hooray! A house!
oh wow, congratulations, it looks wonderful !

Congratulations on the house! Oh, and I just wanted to say that I listened to your podcast and really enjoyed it. I’m not sure about a Northern accent, but you most definitely sounded like my bloggy friend Natasha who is in the UK. :0)

How exciting! Worth moving countries just to be able to afford your own little slice of gorgeousness. Jealousy abounds!

Hi Anna! Congratulations. The house looks lovely, so romantic. I can’t help to think how different it is from the portuguese houses!
congratulations! your house is adorable! are you still situated in england, though?
Hey congratulations and welcome to minneapolis:)
Congratulations! It looks really cute. I hope that I can pull off a similarly quick international move / house purchase, but I suspect we might end up renting in Sydney for a while before we can sort out buying anything… nevermind.
