Out with the New and in with the Old!

I’m busy working on my new novel (YA, Fantasy, Dystopian) but wanted to share a bit of other exciting news with you. I’m moving! No—not to a new blog, to a new house. Or rather… a new, old house. Actually, we’re moving (The husband, puppy and me).

After spending 15 years in a new house (We were the first owners, so it will always feel new to us.), we’re moving to a brick bungalow, built in 1915. It’s a beautiful home in an equally beautiful, historic neighborhood—both of which I can’t wait to explore.

We’re moving in slowly, over the next several months. In the meantime, I’m posting a few pictures of some of the things I like about my new, old house. Things I call “character” that, like 20 something-year-olds, most new houses don’t have. (Don’t worry, 20 something-year-olds, you’ll have more character than you want, soon enough!)

Enjoy, and by the way—Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love the vintage leaded glass tulips! (And the not so vintage Starbucks latte)

And the large wood hallways and leaded glass windows

Built in cabinets with the glass knobs–who wouldn’t want those?

And chains. You gotta have chains!
