the waiting game!

okay, we found a house that we LOVE! It is really affordable, totally at the bottom end of our price range! It isn't in the area that we were hoping to be in, but it is in a super cute neighborhood. It is actually in the town that we live in now, about 10 minutes from where we are now. It is a 2 bedroom basement with a HUGE backyard, swingset, rose bushes, real landscaping! There are only two issues with it... #1 no bathtub, but there is a big kitchen sink. so until ainsley can stand up, guess where she gets her bath! #2 the floors are all linoleum, so we'll have to get area rugs. There were a ton of people there looking last night. I just really hope that they choose us. The upstairs is available, too, but it is $200 more. It has totally been remodeled... travertine in the bathroom, hardwood floors throughout, HUGE closets, custom paint. It is GORGEOUS! It just has less storage space, while the bedrooms are much bigger. The downstairs bedrooms are so cute. One of them would perfectly match Hannah & Ainsley's bedding. The other one is decorated to look like a log cabin. The walls are panelled with the ceiling a sheet of corrugated aluminum with holes cut in it and star fabric peeking through. The light fixture is a lantern. Too cute! And I am pretty sure that I kept MOST of my cute little Americana decorations. This house would be absolutely perfect for us. If you are the praying type, start praying for us! :) we're just waiting for the owners to make their decision. they said that it will be sometime next week. it's a good thing that we are going to the cabin this weekend or else i would be a nervous wreck, driving by the house all the time! :)

I hope it works out for you, Meredith! enjoy your weekend away and don't stress over it. If it doesn't work out you will find something else.

Oh, good luck! Sounds great...so you could have the upstairs too, wouldn't that be the whole house? Otherwise someone else will live upstairs and not the owners? Could you ask for either the upstairs or the basement?? I hope you get it, keep us posted! I'll pray for ya :)

Good luck Meredith! If it doesnt work out with the downstairs, I hope they give you the remodeled upstairs for the same price. It never hurts to ask. Especially in this market.
