Hi Everyone!
Happy Humpday loves. Wow, guys. Thank you so so much for all the love and support from our Patio Style Challenge reveal. I was so nervous and anxious going into it, and ya’ll sure know how to make a girl feel special.
I want you all to know how much you mean to me, and I’m so honored to be able to share a small piece of your day. I never in a million years could’ve imagined that something I love so much could be so joyous. I’m so thankful for, and am humbled by all the opportunities that have come my way. Thank you a thousand times.
So as of today we are 7 days away from our house being officially sold! That’s absolutely insane! I haven’t even started packing yet. What can I say, I’m a glutton for punishment! Honestly though we just got word yesterday that things are on track per our original close date. If you’ve bought or sold a home ever before, you know how easily things can get pushed back, so we wanted to wait until we knew for sure before committing to an apartment. Thankfully we were able to find a place that accommodates short term and month to month lease options so we can easily transition into our next house when we find it, without the stress of lease contract limitations.
Because of our current house being in escrow, we slowed down our house hunt a bit. We didn’t want to run into a situation of finding a home we love and having our offer rejected due to the contingency of our house not being sold yet. It just made sense to get through one hurdle at a time. That being said we picked up the hunt again yesterday. This little gem had us considering the possibilities long after leaving.

It’s very bright and spacious for it’s size! Good luck as the hunt continues!

I can totally see the potential in this one. I feel like you can get more for your money when there is potential to add or expand. Also love the stone fireplace, and the back room with the wood stove has such a nice feel. Reminds me of similar room in Lauren Leiss’s old house. Are there hardwoods under the carpet?
Good luck with the packing. Just put your head down and do it…and tell yourself that it will all be over soon. 🙂

Love the light in the house- it has a ton of potential. Also cant get enough of that walk in tub- tell me you’re keeping it 😉
Kelly @ View Along the Way says
Yay for getting closer to closing! I love that little house. So much charm!

This reminds me so much of the ranch house we just bought! We are loving it so much more than we expected we would. Happy house hunting! I’m following along intently : ]

The outside is so charming and the inside is filled with light. Great backyard, too! This is a good one!
Love your colorful patio makeover–especially the tree stump coffee table. So cool, Shavonda!

I agree this so much potential in this house and love its original siding! Our home had the exact same siding and we loved it 🙂 It’s so pretty when its been well maintained like this one has and wow great bug backyard!! 🙂 Oh and I love that it already has opening shelves in the kitchen 🙂
Katja @ Shift Ctrl ART says
What a great house. And with a big backyard the possibilities are endless 🙂
Jenn - HomeStyleReport says
I love this one! So much potential but it already has loads of character! I hate it when the listing agents try to get sneaky! Hopefully it can work in your favor though!
Belinda says

I really like the house, only thing that would have to go for me would be the wall-to-wall carpeting. Lots of windows and light and the back yard is private and wonderful. Knowing what you can do to a place means it would be a showcase in no time.
Kristin@bliss-athome.com says
I totally see the potential there. How fun! House-hunting is one of my fave things…I will have to live vicariously through your blog 😉 I am off to check out your HD patio now!! xo Kristin

I love the roof on that house with the….umm, whatever you call them kind of shingles :). and the yard is dreamy! I love house hunting. Not so much the moving part, though–good luck with that!
Jennifer@The Chronicles of Home says
Lots of potential! That backyard is amazing.
House Envy says
This house looks like it has ALOT of possibility – especially with all your ideas and creativity. I love the backyard too.

Hi, I live in Natomas too and I was wondering what area you are searching for houses in? I’m looking around and would love suggestions for decent areas. Thanks so much and good luck!
