It’s no secret Tom and I are looking to move out of our 1BR apartment into a home we can call our own. From beautiful, modern homes to cramped, dated places that feel dark and isolated, we’ve seen it all on our house hunt so far. While it’s fun to visualize a before and after in your head after seeing a fixer upper, sometimes you just want to find a place that needs minimal help and just move in already! But this is too big of a step to rush, so the hunt continues and I’m sharing it with you.

Check out some of my French house observations with pics. GO!

Yesterday was a stressful day. Actually it’s been a couple of stressful days, but now I feel like I can breathe. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who commented on my post from Monday and gave their input on social media. I truly appreciate that.

So did we make an offer last night? We made a decision, so go get the update!
