Before we really moved into our new house, I had a chance to appreciate it with pictures.
One of my favorite things (Ha! I'm constantly finding new "favorite things". I've got so many that I can't even keep track anymore) about this house is the light. Mostly the fact that there is some.
Our last house was very much light deprived. By the time we left Canterbury Lane, I felt shriveled and starving for light. Real, natural, beautiful, yellow and orange light. All shimmery and shadowy and spectacular.
After a couple of days of living here, Zac said something about how amazing all of our plants were doing in this house that gets the beautiful (and did I mention much needed?) East and West light.
I am definitely the same way...I need the light in all its glory to function. It gives me something that my body and mind yearn for. It heals my soul. And so does this:
Oh how I love these kids :)
And the toys they leave out. These pink skates have found new life in a house with wood floors instead of carpet and stairs.
The change renewed something in the kids as well. Living on one level with all the rooms opening toward each other has impacted our closeness. We have a fresh sense of family and together-ness. (Is that a word?)
And the small details of this house are fantastic! The orange and yellow tile in the bathroom, this wonderful wallpaper, the vibrant yellow shades on the kitchen windows (see the first photo).
:) aaaahhhhh (that was a big, deep breath in and a wonderful, long, slow breath out)
Thank you for looking at my appreciation of our house. We are moved in now and it feels good to be here. I am sure I will develop wanderlust again before too long, but for now, I am happy. Content. And it feels good.
I hope you are too ::smile::
