Inspector Gadgets

Hi friends! How’s your Friday treating ya?

We just got back from inspection at our new casa 😀
me

[Bump alert! haha]

The verdict?

It went well!!

We were lucky to have an AMAZING inspector. He had so many crazy gadgets to check the temperatures of the walls and air coming out of the AC unit, and found a thousand little things, but nothing huge or deal-breaking. He also had a lot of tips for how to clean things –the people living in the house are pretty much calling it quits on the sanitary side of life- and we were very thankful for his help. We have a giant to-do list now! I love to-do lists 😉

So before I go to work, here’s a sneak peek of our new place:

tree

fountain

(I’m asking them to leave the Buddha fountain if they don’t want to move it- I love it)

yard

kitchen

(The sink has a reverse osmosis water filter- bottled water from the sink!)

parlor

I can’t wait to see what it will look like with our furniture and decor 😀

living room

hall

As tempted as I was to run up and down the staircase singing “I think I’m gonna like it here” a la little orphan Annie, I restrained myself. There were a lot of people there: the realtor, inspector + assistant, termite dude, nana, stepmom and little bro, Pilot and myself.

But, I think I’m gonna like it here… a lot 😀

See ya after work with a Fashion Friday post!

xoxo

    First – I loved that photo of you in your cute dress and curly hair and then I said to myself “oh and a cute little bump!” before I saw your comment. A-dor-a-ble!!!

    Second – and holy cow! – On top of such a cool house, it already had a Buddha?!? Perfection. And so meant to be!

    So happy for you Four!

    Congrats!! Your home is beautiful. I can’t wait to buy a home also, we love our condo but a house would be nice.

  6. Erin on June 24, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    The house looks beautiful!! Congratulations! I cannot wait to see even more. If it makes you feel better, I hugged the island in our kitchen when we saw our house because I loved it so much, and I did that in front of our realtor, my husband, and his parents.

    The bump was the very first thing I noticed, cute and round!! You look great. And I love the new casa; the kitchen is lovely and the view is ah-mazing! Can’t wait to see your post after you get the to-do list done and decorate the digs.

    Congrats on the inspection going well! Your new casa is absolutely gorgeous. And I hope they leave your buddha fountain, too 😀
    This is random but your house reminds me of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s on The Newlyweds! There’s something about the staircase, I think. Thought I’d share!

  12. Valerie on June 24, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    It looks lovely! I just bought a little townhouse, and while it was being built I was pretty much ready to pitch a tent and let them build the place around me.

    Do I spy a changing table in the background of the bump pic? 🙂

  13. Hayley @ Oat Couture on June 24, 2011 at 7:31 pm

    How exciting!! And thats such an amazing view!! 🙂

    Beautiful home my love!!! It is so stinking sunny a warm looking there!! I need some of that!

    I was just saying yesterday to the man that a road trip is in order and we have never been to AZ, I wonder how long the drive would be from Vancouver {Canada} to AZ??
    xxoo

    So glad your inspection went smoothly. That is always a relief! I like the open floor plan and space of the house. Very nice…and cute swing set.
    After closing on our short sale yesterday, I immediately called our floor guys and asked when they could start on our hardwood floors. I was surprised when they said they could start today at 8am! Hopefully by next Friday we will get to unload the POD and move in.

    When are you scheduled to close/ move in? Anything you want to do BEFORE you move everything in?

  16. Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin on June 24, 2011 at 9:14 pm

    What a beautiful house! It looks so open and big!

  22. Ali (urbanfruitbat) on June 25, 2011 at 2:50 am

    I was walking by a running store today, and they had foam rollers in the window and it made me think of you!(;

  23. Amanda on June 25, 2011 at 5:21 am

    I love it, G!! So much beautiful, natural light…your pics are going to be even more amazing than they are now! And your little baby bump in the pic was the first thing I noticed. I think I even let out a little “Awwww….”, leaving my family to come see what I was cooing over;-) So sweet. Love to you girlie <3
