We’ve Moved In to Our Seventh House!

Happy Monday friends! If you happened to catch my Instagram Stories over the weekend then you already know. We moved in to our seventh house this past Friday!

I’ve been steadily digging my way out of boxes all weekend, but I still don’t have much progress to share yet.

I did start setting up my garage workshop, and it has me so pumped to start working on projects again!

It’s going to be so nice to have a ceiling fan in here!

The other little detail that came together right before we moved in is this little outdoor shower area. I have no plans to have it enclosed or anything. It’s just there so we can rinse off before coming in the house on beach and pool days. But I’m really glad I had the plumbers run a hot water line out here!

Ever since I announced that we were going to build a house and move….again….so many people have asked why we would want to move out of our sixth house. I really loved that house! In fact, I pulled a lot of inspiration from that house’s floor plan when creating the layout for our new build.

But it was this backyard view at the new house that stole my heart.

We’re pretty sure this is the one y’all, our forever home. And it feels so good to feel settled even among the piles of boxes that still need to be unpacked!

Thank you all so much for coming along on this building journey with me! Your excitement has made this process even more fun! And now I can’t wait to start decorating! I have so many ideas and projects spinning around in my head! But first coffee……and more unpacking. 😉

  • Wow, that view is gorgeous! The only thing you can’t change is location, looks like you’ve hit the jackpot on your seventh house. Can’t wait to see you make this house your home. 🙂

  • Congratulations! It’s beautiful and I hope you guys will be really happy in your new beautiful home.

  • I completely understand. This is only our third house, but we first bought a house not far from here (kind of like you!). We soon realized we needed to spread out a bit (lot not house) and wanted on the other side (different county) our our little city. We decided to build and lucked up on a piece of land with a mountain view. And that was 20+ years ago! Enjoy the process and so looking forward to seeing what you do in this home!

  • Sometimes it really is about what is going on in the back! We choose our house because of the amazing backyard. You can change a lot about your house, but not your view or the size of the yard. ?. Congrats. What an exciting time!

  • HOME is where the heart is…..enjoy and be happy! Time really does move on and on and on. It seems like just yesterday, that you announced your were building your “forever” home. Cheers to many wonderful years in your seventh house!

  • Yes so true Melanie! We’ve always wanted a home with some privacy and in the backyard, and we feel so blessed to have stumbled upon this lot!

  • Thanks so much Laura! I’m trying to focus on unpacking and getting organized……but I’m itching to pick up a paint brush. Ha!
