Hey guys its me! Hannah! Again! Tadan!
So as a lot of you or some of you or
any of you may or may not know,
there have been a lot of changes going on this summer
Changes of personal growth
I'm a really insecure person.
And I don't think I knew that.
Changes of hair style
But also, changes in habitat.
Basically this is all long winded way
for me to say that I'm moving.
Moving is not unfamiliar to me.
For me the first step in
finding a new home is
going online,
and looking through a bunch of pictures
and a bunch of photos
and reading a bunch of words.
I usually end up just having like
a thousand tabs open
and I go and I called some places
and I don't call some other places,
I'm just online looking at pictures
and I have no idea.
You get your hopes up
and you see pictures,
you're like oh my god this perfect,
oh my god this is great,
ahh what if I don't get it,
ahh kind of thing.
But this time I actually found a home right away
that I was really excited too see,
and I think a big part
of why I was excited to see it
is kind of for the first time at 28,
I know what I'm looking for.
And, for me, the home I grew up in
was like, super gross and dirty and unstable.
So, figuring out what my home was gonna look like
has taken a really long time.
It's kind of like,
I'm ready to be happy now
and start filling a beautiful space
with beautiful memories.
I think I know what that space looks like.
But it's not just about thinking,
it's about the feeling you get, too.
Now, because I'm at this place in my life
where I know what kind of home
I'm looking to build,
it's actually pretty easy to tell right away
whether or not a place is gonna work.
So before finding my new place,
I only looked at one other place
And I walked in, I was like,
oh, I can immediately leave now,
this isn't right.
And it's just a feeling you get.
You walk in and you're like,
ah well, I could, but,
I'm gonna see if I can find the right place.
Anyway, long story short,
let me tell you a story bout my new place.
So, I walked in, and immediately it felt like
I had been there before.
The feeling was familiar.
The place I'm moving into has
actually only ever had 2 owners live there.
One, the person that built it,
and two, the family that lived there
and spent a lifetime loving
and building happy memories there.
And I didn't even know that when I walked in.
All I knew is that I walked in
and it felt like a little piece of me
had been hiding somewhere in a corner there, too.
And when I steped in, it was like,
oh Hannah! You're here!
Hello!
And one of the main reasons
I'm excited about this new place,
is that it also kind of represents
a new chapter in my life.
For instance,
one of the things I love most
about this new place is
that it's old,
and it feels old,
it feels like people have lived there,
but in a good happy loving way.
It feels like it's got history,
it's got its own soul,
and a piece of it-soul and a piece of my soul,
match.
One of my favorite features is that,
in the house on the side of the wall
there's a compartment
that's where the milkman used to put the milk
and people could leave the order number
on the side.
So it got like, two little doors,
so it's got like a drop-off
and a pick-up.
I love that there's a little milk slot.
And the kitchen is kick ass!
The kitchen is so cute,
the kitchen is so happy,
the kitchen has so much light,
it's surrounded by light.
There are windows everywhere
so it's just, such a sociable, inviting,
happy space.
I am so excited to start shooting
new kitchens in there.
It's great. It's a great kitchen.
It's got counter tops that are cutting boards.
That's insane-ly awesome.
Plus the new place as an extra bedroom,
which is really important to me
because I love to have my sisters visit,
I love to have my friends visit,
and I really really really want to find
that Totoro bed
and I just want to put it in there.
How fun would it be to have a room
that was just filled with fun things?
Like a Totoro bed! That's great!
Anyway guys, I'm super excited.
Personally I have a bit of a tendency to be a nomad,
and I feel at my most comfortable
sleeping on people's couches
to be totally honest.
But I've set the intention
and I've told myself that
this is going to be the year,
this is going to be the move,
this is going to be the first place
where I really try
and authentically build a home.
Because I think I have gotten to a point
where I know what I want in a home.
And it takes a really long time to get there,
for some.
Anyway change is good, change is great,
I'm looking forward to moving,
I'm looking forward to cooking,
I'm looking forward to show you guys
all the amazing new things
we're going to make in kitchen,
which will stay forever ours.
Also I'd like to thank my partners of Trulia
for helping me find my special new place to rent.
