Or at least all those renovation shows that I love to watch on TV.
Remember that this isn’t just a house it’s an adventure, and one very few people get the chance to take.I do often find myself comparing my home to other new-build homes that I visit and feeling like we’re total failures for not being able to instantly get that fresh, new feeling happening in our old house.
I have to remind myself that we’re not just renovating a house, we’re living an adventure and it’s the kind of thing that builds amazing memories and creates a strong sense of identity for our family too.I can deal with some ugly walls for a few years for that!.So if leaving your stressful city life and moving to the country is something you’ve always wanted to do, after having lived it for the last three years, I say go for it!
Just be smart about your money and try not to stress out about all the little things as much as I do.🙂 These first few years here for us while we’re still really getting settled and getting set up are definitely the hard years.
We won’t ever want to go back to them once they’re over, but I know we’ll be so glad we lived it.
And if these are the “hard years”:.Up until now, I’ve killed everyone that I’ve owned.
Quickly, and efficiently.Somehow following all the rules hasn’t worked for me..
I bought myself this one for Mother’s Day and hung it on a hook from our little side porch.It looked fantastic… for about three days.. Then it started to get a little sunburnt.
