Yes friends, we’ve got some exciting news to share!  After 4 long years of never-ending renovations, stories to share, pictures to post and general ups and downs, we’ve taken to plunge and bought a new home!

I have to be honest that this happened VERY FAST.  It was about a week from the time that we started seriously looking at places, visited the bank for financing, and put an offer in on our dream home.  We’re still in shock, and can’t actually comprehend that this baby is ours:

Yes, that’s a brand new build. In Toronto.  We are over the moon excited.  We have plans to put in a basement suite for rental income, however, that project is a whole lot of nothing compared to what we’ve been through at our original home in Leslieville.

We’re moving a bit north from where we are now, and will absolutely miss the charm the comes with our street and neighborhood, however, we’re so jazzed to start exploring our new ‘hood.

And what do I keep dreaming about, every single night?  This. Kitchen.

There are no words.  I think I’m going to have to become a professional chef.  Watch out, Jamie Oliver.

So, with just a more sleeps until moving day, we are frantically packing and prepping.  So stay tuned.  While the DIY stories might be slowing down, we’ll still have lots to share when it comes to design, decor, entertaining, decorating for the holidays and beautifying our new (and much larger!) back yard.

Stay tuned!
