I brought a house this week! A little blue house by the sea.
It’s on a new development and, as the houses on it are being released slowly and selling quickly, I’ve been missing out on chances to secure one of the houses for months. I grabbed my chance this week.
The house itself is still being built and will be ready around May/June next year. It’ll look a lot like this:
For now, though, it looks like this:
There’s a large part of me that’s nervous. The thought of being “tied down” has always worried me but, that said, I’ve noticed a shift in my attitude this past year or so.
I’ve never appreciated my home town as much and have really begun to realise just how much of a treasure long term friendships/experiences are. It feels like it’s the right time for me to put down roots.
The excitement of being a future home owner has brought my creative side out of hiding, too. I’ve been browsing life style blogs, buying magazines, and planning on hand making a few bits and bobs. I’m happy that I’ll get to have some input in the build process and to have my home looking exactly as I wish it to.
I can’t wait to watch as my little blue house rises from the rubble.

Congratulations! You should not feel ‘tied down’ think that you can travel and live wherever you want but from now on, you’ll have a place to call home that’s %100 yours – be proud! 🙂 Good luck with the decorations! When will be ready, maybe you’ll post some pictures 🙂

Congrats, that’s super exciting!
Instead of thinking of it as being “tied down”, perhaps think of it as a “home base”! ☺

So exciting!! Love the blue too. I remember feeling a bit uncertain about such a big commitment (money wise) but once we got the keys, it was the best feeling in the world 🙂
