Moving on.....

Just two weeks now and we will be getting the keys to our new house. We are both so anxious to get started. The summer was spent arranging everything we need to work on the renovations of the new house. I thought it might be fun to show the photos that I took for our brochure for the sale of the house where we live now. I spent a good deal of time working on the photos. We had to edit them until they were just right with the balance of accessories and which rooms to use for the photos in our home. Some who have seen our home will miss many things like my various quilts and needlework. We had a woman at the realty office that was very helpful with looking at the photos. We sold it through a sort of DIY realtor. It was sold to the first couple that viewed the house back in the spring. We are so thankful it sold but it means we only have five weeks to get moved out of this house.

The front of our house.

As the house is built in water, the garden is at the front of the house.

We designed the garden for total privacy in the summer even though it is on the street.

We are really going to miss the little garden that we worked hard on making a secret garden.

Come into our living room.

We have a woodstove but had to sell it with the house. The new owners liked our brick wall behind the stove. It was a souvenir from our vacation in Limburg. They are handmade and clay baked bricks.

Off the living room is the dining area.

The kitchen which had recently been renovated.

The office.

Our bedroom.

Bathroom.

The guest room.

The back of the houses are built in the water. These houses are called the 'New Wall Houses' inspired by the original 'Wall Houses' dating from the Middle Ages in our city center.

We have lived here for 13 years. It is time for us to move on although it is only a few streets further.
