My last few weeks have been filled with sanding and refinishing hardwood floors, painting, packing, moving, and exhaustion. I'm happy to say that we're finally moved, and we love our new house.
This house feels like a fresh start for our family of two. I know that it sounds cheezy, but that's really how it feels.
We intentionally chose to paint the walls bright, warm colors. After years of renting we wanted, we needed, warm and welcoming. We needed bold. After years of playing it safe we needed to challenge the status quo. So we went bright and bold.
This house suits us. It's not perfect, but it's perfect for us.
This house will be a house for healing. This house will be a house for us to grow, not in number, but in love.
This will be the house where we put infertility behind us.
This house feels like home. Our home.
I am very very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteHow beautifully you have written: "This house will be a house for us to grow, not in number, but in love."
I hope to see bold bright warm colours in person one day :)
You will definitely see them in person someday! And I will visit you in your home someday!
DeleteIt's not cheesy at all to say it feels like a fresh start! I too love the line Klara pointed out. I'm so glad you're making your house your own - your own home. That's fabulous, and I wish you both many happy times in your lovely house.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mali! It's been more emotional (in a good way) than I expected.
DeleteCongratulations on your new house! May it be filled with happiness and healing and growth exactly the way you have expressed it above. You have found such beautiful words; I absolutely agree with Klara and Mali. I am sending my very best wishes over from Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elaine. Looking forward to many happy years here.
DeleteCongratulations! May your new home be a place of healing and being wonderful things with this new chapter
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cristy! Looking forward to this new chapter!
DeleteCongrats! A fresh start is the best, I'm sure you'll have a lot of good times in your new home.
ReplyDeleteIt is best! I'm sure that good times are ahead in your new house too! When do you move?
DeleteCongratulations!! I hope your new home is everything you want it to be. :) (We're getting ready to paint the main living space of our new condo this weekend -- wish us luck...!!)
ReplyDeleteMuch luck on the painting endeavor! I can't wait to see your painting progress! Frankly, if I never touch another paint brush or roller again in my life it will be too soon. LOL!
DeleteCongratulations on your move, your new home, and this place of healing! How lovely to see the new space as a place free of infertility, a blank slate to build your beautiful life together .
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's definitely a blank slate and we are so looking forward to it!
DeleteCongratulations on your new home, so exciting! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!!
