There are a number of staff houses that are huge and lovely and perfect and new. Those are the kind of houses that I was expecting. I now get the impression that seniority matters to get those newer homes though, and since we're the newbies, mine and Patrick's fate led us to our cute little fixer-upper. It's been here longer, it's a little more vintage, going for the tiny-house hip vibe!
We were surprised, but working with the infrastructure and design teams on our renovations is what it's all about. Let me walk you through our humble abode!
The Living room area which opens to the kitchen.
The kitchen
We have a hallway! Where our bedroom and bathroom are off of.
The bedroom
Our bathroom of relaxing neon ocean blue.
Our front porch...
That porch is our sanctuary. It's the best area of the house that we don't have to touch. And the view is incredible. Our house has THE best view.
While we may not have the biggest or newest home, we do have a lot of potential! I decided to become productive and come up with ideas to fix the things we wanted to change. And enhance the things we love.

Changes:
- The ceiling color
- The uneven floors
- The kitchen counter/sink
- The bathroom walls/tile/lighting
Love:
- The Living/Kitchen open space flow
- The french doors to the living room with the sunset view
- French doors in the bedroom!! I've actually always wanted that. :)
- The front porch with its wood posts and perfect secluded view.
- The hallway. I actually think its pretty wide and nice. Although it may not have been the best use of space, I will utilize it and make it beautiful!
Now that's a good start. Now the juices are flowing! If anyone can make this house a home, I can, right!? I look forward to the challenge. Let's see what we can do! Bam.
We've gotten some shopping done in the meantime. I'll update on Friday about how that all goes down here. Until then 💋!
Love,
Teri
