Ok, this post won’t need a lot of words (famous last words from this Chatty Cathy) because the two videos in this post will do a lot of the work for us. You can just click play below to see a final “after tour” of our house, as it looked right before our real estate showings in early March (you can hear more about how those went here in this podcast episode – it was pretty crazy!). And if you have questions about paint colors or where we got something that you saw (furniture items, accessories, blinds, rugs, etc) they’re all sourced right here in this post for you. Note: You can also view this video here on YouTube. Just for fun, let’s look back at the before tour of this house! I can hardly remember it like that.

Our entire approach to renovating our new house from afar has changed pretty dramatically since February when we first started house hunting, including a period in which we didn’t think we’d be tackling any major projects at all. And lots of you have been asking for a rundown of what we’re doing now, what’s left, and how long we think this house reno might be. So today we’re taking you down that rabbit hole and sharing how our plans shifted quite a few times – and where we ended up. Plus, why packing all of our belongings was a more intense process than we expected, and an update on our move date. Oh and what really makes for an “adult” kitchen?

Via https://www.younghouselove.com/podcast-172/ Eiiiiiiiiiiii! That’s my excited dolphin sound. I do an IMPRESSIVE impression when I’m extra hyped (according to my kids). Anyway, I’m BEYOND excited to take you on a little tour of our new house in Florida, as it looked when we first laid eyes on it back in February. As luck would have it, that was also the last time we laid eyes on it in person (thanks to our spring break trip being cancelled due to staying hunkered down at home). So it feels like a ton has changed since we were in it a few months ago – both from a global standpoint (worldwide pandemic), and also from a reno standpoint (since we took these photos & the video walk-though, a lot of the things that made it unlivable at the time have been remedied over the last 6 weeks or so by our contractor and his small socially distant crews ;) As in there are no longer holes in the floor, there’s working AC, and the bathroom has a toilet that flushes (and there’s no longer a sink in the tub – stand by for that shot in the video). Continue reading A (Before) Tour Of Our Florida House! at Young House Love. Via https://www.younghouselove.com/florida-house-before-tour/ We recently hit a long-awaited milestone that we’ve been working towards for months, and we couldn’t be more grateful!! We’re sharing all the details today – plus we’re diving deeper into a question that seems to keep popping up: “How can you tell if downsizing is right for you? What if you majorly regret it?!” There are actually four ways that you can take smaller space living for a spin before pulling the ripcord – which is a huge advantage, and a great way to answer that question for yourself. We also explore how the reality TV show that you’d want to be on the most (or the least!) can reveal a lot about your personality. Plus a moving tip that’s helping us pare down even more – and why we like watching TV, but don’t actually want to be on it.

Via https://www.younghouselove.com/podcast-171/ As promised, I’m sharing a ton of photos that are inspiring us the most when it comes to our new house in Florida. My alternate title for this post was BEACHY VIBES 4 DAYZ because I feel like we have been preparing for this moment for our entire adult lives. Ha! So many of you have been saying things like “Your art! It has been a sign forever that you were meant to live by the beach!” (for example there’s this anniversary painting and these aerial beach photos and about 843 more examples since I’m actively packing all of our art). Meanwhile others have been like “even your first house with light blue & sand-colored walls, woven rugs, bamboo blinds, and capiz chandeliers were hinting at your love of the beach fourteen years ago in your landlocked brick ranch! Continue reading Our Florida House Inspiration Pictures at Young House Love. Via https://www.younghouselove.com/florida-beach-house-inspiration-pictures/ This week we’re taking a deep dive into the two methods that we used to find our Florida house, including how we prioritized our wants versus needs, sifted through hundreds of real estate listings, and used technology to overcome the fact that we were 800 miles away. We’re also sharing how a bad news call from our contractor ended up saving us from a huge future headache (that may or may not have involved having zero functioning bathrooms in our new house). Plus, Sherry’s unique way with words comes back to haunt her. And John takes spreadsheeting to a whole new level.
