Moving on

No pictures today, but we do have a status update...we're moving tomorrow!  Time to say goodbye to this house and head off to a new project.  There are so many things I'll miss about this house - the spacious master bath, the kitchen with its island and Wolf range, the fire pit and grill in the backyard, the great neighbors on our street...and at the same time, we're excited to get started on a new project.  In my mind (if not in reality), this house has been finished for awhile - design choices had been made, construction largely completed, and we were just executing our vision.  So I'm looking forward to getting back to asking the big open questions - what size addition, what style house, how to execute construction, etc.  I'm sure the new house will involve new questions and problems and we'll have to figure things out on the fly...and at the same time, we've learned so much from this house - about construction, planning, and how much chaos we can or can't take at any given moment - that we will, hopefully, be a little wiser as we start the next one.  Pictures of the new place to follow soon and it'll come as no surprise that it's another fixer-upper.  Stay tuned!

  2. Yup! We always planned to sell after the renovation was complete. We're always looking at houses in the area and want to renovate a few more (hopefully). We bought a big ranch style house with a huge lot in one of the best neighborhoods in Arlington. Can't wait to get started with the project!
