The more I learn that this is true (and I’m still working on this), the easier the whole process gets on my mental state.. 2)Learn your own preferences for which “state of unfinishedness” you’re most comfortable living with for a long time if you have to.
All I really wanted was to have a house with a cornfield behind it.Of course next year it will be soy because of crop rotation and all that, but still… let me have this.. Chris and I were able to ditch the real estate agent for a few minutes and we took a walk around the property and along the corn field.
He showed me how to de-tassel the corn like he used to do when he worked in the fields growing up.Is it completely strange that I found that kinda romantic?.This is looking across the street down at the end of the property; what will be our orchard area.
Another cool barn!.Inside I took a few quick shots of some things that caught my eye.
They didn’t turn out so great.
The real estate agent was wondering why I was taking so many pictures with just a week to go until move-in day, I think..I don’t often show full rooms, mostly cause no full rooms feel ready for it, but I think this one is getting there.. And yes, part of the floor is ripped up.
It adds character, right?Sometimes the projects I work on are pretty and creative and interesting, but sometimes they’re just necessary everyday kinda things.Chris was out of town last week and I spent a lot of time working on boring old real life type of things around the house.
It was great.. Usually I try to show my house in a somewhat flattering light and showcase the few showcaseable areas cause, well, I want you to read my blog right?But I find for me it’s almost as much fun looking into the “normal” parts of people’s home, as it is looking at all the pretty stuff.
