We've been keeping a secret since early March.
I should clarify that Chris has been the one working on this secret mission since early March.
Loads of research, several inspections, negotiations and mountains of paperwork have been happening.
We are now the proud owners of lakefront property!
Yes. It really is an A-Frame.
It's tiny.
Like only one-person-in-the-kitchen-at-a-time tiny.
It has a loft bedroom, one bedroom on the main floor, one bathroom, a tiny upstairs living room and a good-sized finished basement (
which is where I imagine our sixteen year old will be taking over).
Despite its miniature size, it has loads of charm and it's right on the water.
Chris's blue boat really does have a permanent home now (instead of the side of our house).
All the furnishings you see in these pictures are the original owners.
We have some renovations happening before we move in our things.
Carpets are being ripped out first and then the electrical is being upgraded next.
All of Chris's vintage outdoor treasures (including my Grandpa's lure collection) will be going with us.
This is the reason we've been collecting extra estate sale goodies and furniture.
Aside from mattresses, we are determined to outfit this cottage with purchases from thrift stores , estate sales and garage sales.
It's been fun collecting.
Just think of all the blogging material I'll have over the new few months as we put our own touches on this place!!
