After looking for months, and checking out about 7 possibilities in person, Mike and I have decided to put an offer in on a house in our neighbourhood. It's listed on mls.ca if you want to have a look at it and tell me what you think! Or try this link.
If that didn't work it's number 6779. It's a sort of 50s retro style house, built in 1957 by a mayor of Dawson Creek. It's had some renovations, and we love the huge family/entertainment room they've added on through the french doors at the back of the house. It has a fireplace and is super cozy. We'll definitely be needing some new furniture for it though!
I'm nervous as to whether we'll get it or not, as we are meeting to put an offer in tomorrow. It's so hard to decide what to offer though, as I don't want to start too high or too low. Also, we will need to buy a washer and dryer and eventually a new stove and fridge. I also want to do new flooring as it is pretty mis-matched at the moment. The kitchen definitely needs new floors.
I'm so happy to think that this summer I could be barbequeing and lying out in the sun instead of stuck in an apartment. The one downfall though is the flat roof, which Mike may have to shovel every once in a while if there is too much snow. It's been super warm though today--only -1 compared to about -32 at the start of the week.
Well, I'd love to hear what other people think of the house. I need to go finish wrapping the last of my presents to mail off tomorrow. Feel free to offer thoughts on decorating ideas, colours etc...!

I think the house looks great. Congrats. I hope you get it. After ANOTHER day of house-hunting, I'm very jealous. I'll be so excited for you to hear if you get it. I think it looks very well redone and very cozy with that fireplace.
I love it, Sabrina! It's got so much space -- I like the kitchen and the big living room. Very nice! Good luck - it's scary and exciting to buy a house!!
Love the house! I love the brick work in the kitchen (well, I think the whole kitchen is nice) and the french doors are great. And fireplaces are always nice.
Good luck! The offering part is always hard, but God will steer you right.
Congrats, Sabrina! I'm so excited for you!
Also, if I haven't said so already, congrats on your poetry contest win! That poem gives me chills each time I read it.

Love it, Sabrina! I love the family room, too -- esp. with those French doors. Now it's almost a week since you posted (sorry for the delay, m'dear!), so you might have gotten the house already ... do let me know!!!!!
xoxo
