This is what our summer living room looks like right now. I hosted our ladies Bible Study this last week so it gave me an excuse to spruce up our living room for summer. I just added a few fluffy pillows, the chenille blanket on the couch, and then updated the coffee table. These peonies are from my mother-in-law. She has a whole row of peonies bushes and was gracious enough to let me take home a bouquet. They just scream Indiana summer to me now!
We Sold Our House
You guys, I can’t believe I am saying this again. But, we sold our house! We put it on the market and 24hrs later we had already accepted an offer. When we sold it we had absolutely no idea what house we were going to move to. We were just completely leaning on the Lord opening doors for us. And a door swung right open, wide open. The day after we sold our house my hubby called a friend of ours who had mentioned a couple months ago that he was wanting to sell his home. Low a behold he did want to sell it and we made an offer and it was accepted. Everything has happened so quickly, but it all feels right.

New House Info
The house we are buying isn’t a complete flip because it has good bones, but it does need a lot of updating. We were looking for a three bedroom two bathroom home that has good bones and a good layout, and a bonus would be a fenced in backyard. This homes fits the mold completely.
When you go to update a home the bones of the home and the layout are the most important things to note. Thankfully the bones are all good. The layout is great, it is all open concept which makes everything feel bigger.
So updating everything is what needs to happen in this home. Everything is very builder grade right now. I already have so many projects in mind that I want to do. We are closing on both homes on June 25th so after we move in the fun will begin.

Summer is here and the weather has been amazing. So this summer will consist of lots of projects and I will share all of the behind the scenes over on my Instagram stories. So make sure you are following me over there so you don’t miss anything. I can’t wait to share all about it. We have our appraisal for this home tomorrow and that will be our last step until we officially close.
