Big news for us! We have signed on the dotted line to purchase this new build home. So if you are in the market or have just bought a new build home, follow me along. Or if you just want to declutter and reduce, and really who doesn’t after Christmas?
We are downsizing as our last child gets ready to leave the nest. Honestly, with our large log cottage, there was just too much yard and house work to keep up with. So we have bought a brand spanking new bungalow design from Urbandale. The closing date is a long way off though, April 2020. We could have pushed this up to December 2019 or even February 2020 but who wants to move at Christmas or even in the winter? I’ve been there, done that, and didn’t like it, so we pushed it back to April.
It has been very exciting to think of all the design possibilities and even a little overwhelming. Even for this design loving gal. However, we have already signed off on any structural changes. And I’m starting to nail down kitchen and bath finishes, etc… It was a little challenging to decide on the bungalow design as we bought from a floor plan only since this model is brand new. A little tip if this happens to you, check out some other builders and see if they have a similar layout and model so that you can walk through and get a better idea of the space. We were lucky enough to be able to do this and it really helped us make a few decisions quickly.
We are staying in our neighbourhood, it works well for Rick’s work. I’m so looking forward to a much smaller lot and house to deal with.
I’ll be sharing more details of the house and what changes we have made so far and a few of the design choices that have already been finalized.
