Lucas and I have been perusing realty and home-buying websites for months trying to figure out where we're going to end up this time next year once I'm officially an OT/R (hopefully!) and have acquired my first job.
Right now, my aunt has offered to let us stay in her lakeside cottage from January 'til June. After that, our living situation is still up in the air. BUT, Lucas and I have fallen head over heels for the Sugarberry Cottage house plans from Southern Living's House Plans. We have both agreed that it meets our dream home criteria in every way:
- It's not too big -- a little over 1600 square feet. Big enough to entertain, small enough to maintain
- It has an open floor plan that's perfect for entertaining with the kitchen, dining, and living room all essentially part of one larger room
- Two big covered porches -- swoon
- The master bedroom is downstairs -- practical for when we get older (we're definitely thinking long-term here!)
- The fireplace -- again, swoon
When I found these plans, I knew this was our #goalshouse. It suits us both in every way. Even though we still may not know where we're going to be a year from now, we do know where we want to eventually end up. I have been so giddy about finding this that I couldn't wait to share it with you all! I know Mrs. Stewart would approve ;)
Happy Monday,
