I haven’t posted about our upcoming move, since everything has been in turmoil, and I felt strange saying anything until I was sure what would happen. On October 1st we backed out on our offer on the house I mentioned in this post. We had been trying to resolve the many issues with the property for three months, and kept running into problem after problem. We were starting to doubt that the bank would satisfy our needs with resolving the access to the property, so we started to look at other homes.
The last property that we looked at was my dream house! It had more acreage, more studio space, more space for the kids and a bigger kitchen, pantry, living area. It has a barn, beautiful pastures and all kinds of other neat stuff. We made an offer the same day we backed out of the other offer. Today we finally found out that our offer was accepted! I am so excited, and we are scheduled to close on November 30. All that remains to be done are the inspections and the packing! Here are some photos of the new place!
New Studio!
Who knows… we might actually be settled by Christmas! In other news, I finished the painting below yesterday and will be framing it and taking it to Salem next week to Mary Lou Zeek.
"Possibility" Watercolor on Yupo 20x28"
I am so excited for you. Your new place looks idyllic! I think “Possibility” is beautiful too!
Thanks Catharine!
Ruth,
Your new home is beautiful. You SO deserve to have your own space for art!
“Possibilities” on yupo is amazing. You created so much detail–I know it’s challenging paper.
Best of luck on your move et al.
Thanks Margaret! It is a challenging paper, but leaves everything loose & adjustable for a long time, which I like.
Hi Ruth,
Your future home is beautiful, and so much space and land to move around. Can’t wait until you are settled and may have an open studio tour. I Like your painting “Possibility”. Makes me think about you and your husband walking up the drive to your new home!
Hi Ruth! Thank you so much for coming over to visit my blog! Your new home looks AMAZING!!! Congratulations! I have never used yupo before, but I like what you have done with it.
Spectacular Ruth! What a glorious new home and space for your new art studio.
Can’t wait to see pics once your moved in.
Cheers and salute!
