We'll have another post soon with lots of pics before and after from various angles (including some unique shots!) but since many of you have asked how it went, we're keeping this first post quick and to the point, ha.
It's the end of an era for the little farmhouse. It had a great run, but it was time to make our future dreams come true...
Here it is right after we bought it...

Here it is Wednesday morning...
Going...
Going...
Gone!
Instead of being sad, we're thinking of what will grow from this spot. Just like planting a seed and waiting for a beautiful flower to bloom, we'll be waiting for our new home to rise up from this very spot.
The future awaits!
OH. MY. GOSH. How exciting. I'm sure it was bittersweet but so excited to see the new home that replaces it, your dream home! Janie V
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit bittersweet but honestly just more exciting to know that it's really happening.
DeleteI can't wait to see some more demolition photos that's always fun to see.
ReplyDeleteI took a ton of pics, will have a demolition post just for you! And everyone else interest, LOL!
DeleteAwwww ... It was such a a cute little place! Rather shocking to see the progression of the demolition!
ReplyDeleteTime to show us the new kitchen layout! LOL
It was cute for sure, in it's prime it was really neat but just so much in the last few years that needed to be fixed up. It was definitely time and yes, shocking to see. I told 2nd Man several times it looked like a tornado had gone through.
DeleteUtility room is tomorrow's tour, ha.
A little bit of nostalgia is okay, but a whole lot of looking forward to a beautiful house rising on the spot is great. I cannot wait to see the replacement.
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun times ahead for sure, and it's getting real now!!
DeleteAww, I'm sad to see that cozy little house demolished, but bigger and better things are ahead !
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.

Yes, we totally understand. It's been a great little house for a long time, and it lived a good long life. We tried to justify pouring money into it to get it fixed up so we could live there full time but it was just so much money that we decided would be better spend on brand new so we could truly get the house of our dreams. So yep, bigger and better for sure, coming soon!
Deletevery exciting! i can't wait to watch it go up!
ReplyDeleteHoping to break ground end of the month or early December, weather permitting of course.
DeleteWow! The adventure continues with a new chapter.
ReplyDeleteNo turning back now, right? HA! Yep, the new chapter begins.
DeleteMoving on too making more beautiful and wonderful memories in your new home, with a new beginning and yet can carry in your hearts many of the old memories.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better. We have a picture of our house we sold a few years ago that we made look old (sepia tone) and framed it, we're going to do the same with this one. Let the new memories begin!
DeleteDid you save a window or two & take the glass panes out to decorate with? So popular now...and maybe a nice memory for you.
ReplyDeleteWe did same some pieces of wood for some future projects. The windows were all replaced right before we bought it, just aluminum frame inexpensive windows, nothing fancy that would make for a good project, ha. I did save the doorknobs and we have one door we saved that "Ma" (the previous owner) had on her pantry, I'll do something fun with that. We also did have a guy come and strip out what he could use, lights, ceiling fans, the sink, etc, so that was good.
DeleteHopefully you saved some of that old wood and have someone make you a nice sign for you to hang above or beside your entry door or a sign to hang in your kitchen area;
ReplyDelete' New beginnings, making new memories'.
We did and I wasn't sure how to use it but now THAT sounds like a great idea!
DeleteWith The Build starting soon, it’s a good thing that this winter is forecast to be drier and warmer than usual.
ReplyDeleteRight? We are hoping for cooler and dry weather, they said the guys go faster when it's not 100, understandable, ha.
DeleteMakes the dream feel very real, doesn't it? One phase closing and its new and exciting replacement on the verge.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you, yes, it's rapidly become very real, ha. We are excited.
