My Designing Dreams :)

It is hard to believe that a year ago I had a crush on this cute deacon in my church. Now we are husband and wife and buying a house! God is so incredibly good! I didn't not see this coming and I am so glad he kept it a surprise because it makes it that much sweeter having His grace blind side you like that :) As you know my life has been full of surprises this year and God has been behind and providing for all of the things that throw off my groove is it were.

So we are under contract on a house here in Chattanooga. Incredible! I never thought I would be a homeowner before the year was out. The process has been smooth. The inspection was passed with flying colors and now we get to dream of what sort of stuff we want to do with this house to make it ours. I am an architect/design nerd so I love dreaming and scheming of home improvement projects and figuring out how to make something pretty and functional. So you can imagine my joy when we finally walked into a house that I felt inspired in! My wheels began turning almost immediately and almost as soon as we got home I pulled up my Google SketchUp(C) program and went to town! If you go to Zillow you can check out what the house currently looks like. And if you scroll down you can see some of the ideas we have for our own renovations and updates. I have to say that one of the best marriages is that of an interior designer and carpenter! Sure makes for some enjoyable trips to the home improvement store! :) Enjoy!
