Talk about new beginnings!! We have experienced our first Winter in a lovely 1923 house. As some of you may already know and/or seen, Kyle and I moved into a 3 bedroom 1 bath bungalo built in 1923. The house has character meaning:
-Pipes freeze and then bust during the Winter months (currently being fixed).
-Plumbing problems are a monthly occurence and will eventually lead to a bigger problem (that hopefully is completely fixed now)
-No matter where you walk, the floors creek (I personally love this character of an old house).
-You learn when it's cold to stack pillows in front of the doors and towels in the windows due to such poor insulation around the doors and windows.
The list continues...
-No matter how big the house, we are almost always in the same room spending time together.
-There's finally enough room for both of us to be able to have our hobbies stay unpacked.
-We finally get to entertain!! We have been wanting to do this for a while, but it was impossible in our 500 sq. feet loft.
With all of it's frustrations and concerns, overall Kyle and I are very much enjoying our new home for this time in life. We know what we do and do not like in a home and are having good training in taking care of a house compared to lofts and apartments.
I will add pictures of the house later.
