Home, sweet, sweet home.

After a week or so of sleepness nights, and some intense discussions, we are finally home owners once more!

We had been searching for our new home for months, almost a year. We found nothing that was even close, everything we found had a major flaw - mainly the style. I've had my heart set on an old colonial or queenslander for years.

Every weekend we looked unenthusiasticly looked at homes that were either falling apart, or without character, until I saw this house online. It's a colonial style house, with a pyramid roof and wide verandahs along the front and side, and a white picket fence. I have driven past it many times and wondered what the story was, as it's quite different from the houses in the area, so I was curious. Husband couldn't be bother going, so I took mum along.
The minute I walked through the gate, my heart started pounding. I walked inside, and just knew. THIS was it. The house I could love, the house we could call home. Wandering through, I mentally placed our furniture, figuring out then and there what would stay and what had to go.
I got home, with a huge grin on my face, and said to Husband - it's the one.

So, Tuesday night, with the help of an amazing buyers agent to bid on our behalf at the auction, we finally got my dream house!

We move in a month, so you can expect many home updates after that!
