The whole planning process has been going for over a year now and I'm getting a bit impatient. There are times I have been ready to just sell and move into a house that is already perfect for us. Just one problem: there are no such houses for sale in the area.
So, to help me become more excited about it again, I'm going to share with you some of the things I love about our place...
Herb garden; Autumn colours
My favourite flowers: irises and camelias
We are surrounded by amazing gum trees where the owls nest; the yellow Wisteria bought for me for my 21st birthday - the size of it makes me feel a bit old these days
The little seat a friend made for Abbey out of a log from a tree we had to chop down; Plenty of open space for Abbey to run around and explore
Our beautiful cedar boards that we worked so hard to restore (they were painted mission brown when we bought the house); our big back decking overlooking the garden
The kitchen

Oh my goodness I LOVE the little seat wooden! Your place looks lovely. Just gorgeous.
I love all of the things you love, especially the kitchen, the flowers, and the little girl and seat.
I'm here from flog you blog! Glad to find you!
That deck and that kitchen........gorgeous. We have similar taste, by the look of it.
I want Irises!
Oooh you live amongst the trees, beautiful!
I can see why you would want to stay living there - so much natural beauty and open space- perfect for kids too. These are the qualities that keep us in our small, desperately in need of a renovation, house!
We've got one of those wooden seats too, although ours was made when a tree fell down in a storm, so it can be rather rough on the kids behinds! Have you read Lucy Springer gets Even? Hope your renno is much easier! Love your photos - your place oozes peace.
Oh my goodness, I love your home Megan. Very nice.
Happy FYBF.X
It all looks amazing, lucky you! I can sympathise with you as we are building our dream house while living in a shed next door. Some days I am so impatient, I just want it done and I want to live in my house....it's very hard to be patient but lets think of how much we will love our homes....finally!!
Hi Megan, here from flogyoblog! I am glad I found you.. we're also in the stages of planning an extension/renovation. Look forward to following your blog :)
Beautiful photos Megan. No wonder you do not want to move.
I can see why you wouldn't want to leave ... it looks so charming .. x
