Finally, here it is! The first little peek into our new house. I know it's not much of a peek, but there's still so much work to be done! I found this wonderful convertible typewriter desk at the Salvation Army last week. I'm so excited to finally have a real desk so I can get rid of the terrible folding table I've been using for the past year. Right now the desk is sitting in the living room but eventually it will be moved upstairs to my office. And our poor, pitiful staircase. We finally got down to the original wood after ripping through all of the linoleum and carpet that had been nailed to them over the years. They are still very much a work in progress (as is everything really).

Oh, I think your new place is going to be beautiful - I'd love to have an old house to get to grips with instead of a modern flat, there's so much potential and life. The desk is perfect... is enough envy coming across here yet?? Can't wait to see more pics, of both you and the house!

I kind of like the beat up stairs.
ReplyDeleteLove Grace.
From what I've seen, it looks great! I'm very curious to see more pics when everything is done, I'm sure it will look amazing!
ReplyDeleteWoow! It really looks like a cool place! I can't wait to see more :) I really love your outfit
ReplyDeleteYou guys are going to make this place look incredible!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful house! I'm sure that the staircase is beautiful even if it's not finished yet... I would love to fix up an old victorian one day. Hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteEven this tiniest of sneak peaks has piqued my interest! I want more! You're going to need before and after shots of your house anyhow... you might as well start the virtual tour now!
ReplyDeleteYou look a perfect match for the floors, in that pretty 30s dress and leather boots.
I have to agree with Grace here. I actually adore the stairs in their current state. They just look like they have such an amazing story they are waiting to tell ...
ReplyDelete...and I LOVE the desk too! Can't wait to see more pics :)

Pictures are lovely, and the dres is fabulous,
ReplyDeleteIt was worth the wait! The feeling of light and space is lovely. The profile on the skirting boards are so deep. I love the twisty curve on the staircase. The floorboards are beautifully wide. The timber on the floor and stairs will come up beautifully with more work. Is that a white on the walls or a very soft taupe?
ReplyDeleteAnd you are wearing your new 'jumper'. Well done you.
Your house is just wonderful! I adore that outfit too! :o)
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so pretty. And I feel your pain, old floors never turn out to be very easy to tear up.
ReplyDeleteYour out is so great, I just love that jumper :)
Gorgeous photos!

Oh my, that first photo is ridiculously beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful house! I love the way you mixed pieces from different eras to create a beautiful outfit.
ReplyDeleteI think it's charming! Lots of character and so much potential!!
ReplyDeletelovely. The photos and the sneak peak of the house. I love the wood flooring.
ReplyDeletethe stairs are fantastic!
ReplyDeletethe stairs are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this reminds me of Ali McGraw in "Love Story." Could you or your style be cuter? J'adore these pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteyour place looks lovely. love the desk. look forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! The emptiness of the room is really beautiful. Plus, those cool old suitcases are a great touch.
ReplyDeleteThe house and the outfit are both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey might be a work in progress, but once they are done (especially once you look at the finished product with the stairs and all that was nailed on them), you'll be oh so much happy...
ReplyDeleteI think your house is very charming already. I am sure you will make it even more charming. I can't wait to see more photos of your progress. Someday, I will have an old house too;)
ReplyDeleteOMG!What a lovely house. so vintage just like your style ;D
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe house, what you've shown, looks gorgeous. What are you planning to do with the floors? Leave them as is or refinish? They're truly beautiful, with those wide planks. Do you know what kind of wood they are?
ReplyDeleteYour jumper and boots are really pretty too!
i love the floors -- they have so much character. i even like the unfinished stairs, there's so much color in them it almost looks like a pattern.
ReplyDeleteYou're house looks beautiful. And your outfit reminds me of Shelley Long in Troop Beverly Hills. :)
ReplyDeleteYay, I am sooo excited to see more of your house! I love how the floor looks so scratchy and like it's been through a lot...
