home

On Friday (11/11/11) at 11:11am (seriously!), we signed the papers and are now the proud owners of our very own house!! It's so crazy. In so many ways! I cannot believe we will soon be leaving our beloved Brooklyn and our many friends who have been like family for the last 7 years. But... we are not going too far. And, we are going to have S  P  A  C  E ! and a yard! It still feels a bit surreal that this is all happening. We were trying to keep from getting too excited because these things can always fall through. But the papers have been signed. This is our new house. This is where we build our home together. This is where Veda will learn to walk and run and talk and play and grow and dream and be a kid!

The house is a 1919 Dutch colonial. It sits on a pretty tree lined street, one block away from a big park (designed by Olmsted), and just a short walk to a downtown area with shops, restaurants and the train which goes into the city. It has plenty of room for us to breathe and grow. Andrew and I are both going to have our own studios! There is also a gorgeous sun room that we are going to turn into a play room for Veda. We will have a guest room for family and friends when they visit. There is a yard and a garden to tend to- which I'm very excited to learn about. The house needs some updating and will be sure to keep us busy for the foreseeable future, but we're looking forward to it- there's nothing like putting your energy into creating a space to call home... xo
