Big News (house sized)

It all started with a simple text message Martin sent Grace, “red house is great!” and six stressful weeks later, it’s ours! We bought our first home and officially got the keys yesterday. It is in La Quinta, California (near Palm Springs) and we love it! The house is 1,100 square feet on a 9,000 foot lot with awesome mountain views (because there are no ocean views out here!). It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a pool in the backyard! It is what most would call a “fixer-upper” but we call it a treasure, and a project we are very much looking forward to working on!


More "before" pictures here! Hope to see you all poolside real soon!
