ATG&D Dream Home | We Live Here Now!

December 4, 2015 By Dusty Rogers 29 Comments

We moved in!

I say “we moved in!” versus “we’re all moved in!” because while technically all of our things are out of storage and within the parameters of the shingles and siding you see below, the reality is I just had to climb over fifty-eleven-hundred boxes to reach my desk and laptop. In fact, as I write this from my overly-thought-out dream office complete with overlooking 2nd story balcony, my view is less “family, living room, kitchen, zen” and more “U-Haul, Staples, Zappos, Keurig, Canadian Mist, Wildtree, and Ale Asylum” ads on cardboard marked up with black Sharpies.

But we’re in!  We live here now!

We moved in on the one and only day in November that it decided to snow – and not just a little bit. Our forecast was calling for 10 inches of snow, but thankfully we only got about half of that and it all ended up being pretty manageable. G and his buddies loaded and unloaded the U-Haul while Kate rediscovered her Legos and I manned a shovel, trying to keep our driveway as clear as possible so our moving truck wouldn’t go careening into our neighbor’s house.

A snow day may not be the ideal moving day forecast, but my goodness it sure is pretty! I couldn’t stop smiling seeing our new home covered in fluffy white snow:

After all the boxes were unloaded we spent our first afternoon in our new home cozied up around the fireplace, enjoying this view from our living room window:

Totally. Worth it.

Unpacking is happening slowly and I’m beginning to convince myself that cardboard may be the new reclaimed wood (who’s with me?). On the construction side, the house is almost completed (the front door and sidelights still need to be painted black and there are some little things left to do inside), and G and I are skin-pinching, chest-bumping, and all-around overjoyed with how everything turned out.

I’ll be back soon with construction updates. In the meantime, if anybody has a toothbrush holder I can borrow that’d be awesome. (I’m currently using a wine glass.)

      Thank you so much, Ariadna! My hope is that by the time I’ve gotten you all caught up on our construction process I will be unpacked and have some nice interior pics to share. Fingers crossed. I can’t wait to show you more!

      Thank you so much, Pam! We are so happy to be in before the holidays. Kate and I put the tree up last Sunday (in our empty dining room, haha) and it feels even more like home. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

      Thank you so much, Kristin! I’m dying to share it with you!! It still looks like a disaster zone around here, but we’re having a little housewarming party this weekend so I’m scrambling to get all these boxes unpacked and rooms at least semi-pulled together before then. Eek!

      Thank you so much, Jennifer! The snow made everything look so darn beautiful. Sadly it’s all melted now and we’re staring at a yard full of mud (construction wasn’t completed in time to seed this fall, so we need to wait until spring now). I’m hoping it snows again soon so I have a pretty yard to look at again!

      Thank you so much! I really love the snow, too. It’s what makes our Wisconsin winters so beautiful. :) (Although I know plenty of Wisconsinites who prefer to head to AZ for the winter, so I’m sure things are beautiful there as well!)
