a place to call home

earlier in the week i blogged about a house my dad and i came across while walking old number nine. well.... WE GOT IT! it's very cliche but we are over the moon! the house is currently being restored and there is still lots to be done before we close on it. i cannot wait to upload more photos as the construction continues.

a few characteristics of our new home include:
- built in 1940's
- moved to boerne in 2001
- has sixteen foot ceilings with tin tile throughout the home
- dog trot entrance (common of the victorian style)
- porcelain & crystal door knobs (this makes me so very excited)
- a separate parlor entrance
- front porch & back deck

it is a home blake and i can see ourselves living in forever. god is so good.
here are a few photos:
