Hi Sweet Blogging Friends.
We have only a couple of more weeks to closing.
Right now it the stress of trying to get the things fixed from the Home Inspections on time.
So much stress on top of trying to pack and get things ready to move!!!!
 |
| It is sad to think about saying Good Bye to Junk Chic Cottage #3. |
 |
| I am excited to move to Junk Chic Cottage #4 in a few weeks. I have visions of lovely things for this sweet home. I see pretty flower boxes under those windows with some of my flowers from JCC #3 and some pretty decor for that front porch. Those bushes and flower beds need some TLC too. |
 |
| My flower boxes under the windows are growing beautifully. With it still June they are overflowing and growing faster than normal. I will miss them. I hope the new owner will keep them pretty. |
 |
| The look on my cherub bird bath looks confused. Not to worry sweet cherub I will find a perfect spot for you in JCC #4. |
 |
| I am so happy everything looking nice and speaks of summer. |
 |
| I wish all of you a new week full of summer fun. I will be so glad when we can finally load up the moving truck and close the door on this wonderful home and begin a new chapter of life in JCC#4. Have a great week. Hugs, Kris |

Best of luck on the closing and move.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading about your journey. We had problems with our last house when we sold, so when we sell this one we are going to hire a home inspector first. That way it will take the pressure off of selling. We learned a lot from selling our last home.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteYour window boxes are beautiful. I hope the new owner takes good care of them!
ReplyDeleteYour window boxes are gorgeous.....so lush! I can't wait to see how you transform the new cottage...it will be wonderful. Good luck!

I wondered what you would do once you finished Junk Cottage #3 renovations....now I know #4 is on the way....have fun doing this one. I always enjoy seeing what you come up with. AND it is great to have a handy husband that knows how to build things too!!
ReplyDeleteYour new home will be beautiful no doubt. Your flowers are doing so well.
ReplyDeleteHope Terry is liking the new job.
Hang in there. Love to Buddy.

Exciting and busy times for you, Kris. I hope you have a chance to enjoy some of your lovely garden before you leave!! xxoo
ReplyDeleteHang in there Kris, it's all worth it. #4 will be beautiful. Can't wait to see it! xo
ReplyDeleteI have missed you greatly but here you are! OK, back to packing my friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you Kris! Especially as you are so busy at the moment. I totally understand your sadness at leaving your beautiful home, but think of the excitement of making your next home look so pretty, with your beautiful new things. Love and supportive hugs, Gilly x
ReplyDeleteYour speed and efficiency leaves me with feelings of inadequacy! Can't believe how fast you've knocked this move out, Kris. Cheers to enough energy for the final stretch and beyond!
ReplyDeleteAhh that in between stage- no fun! Your flowers will look fantastic on JCC#4. It’s a cute house and I’m sure you’ll make it very cozy!
ReplyDeleteMay 'everything' go smoothly with the closing and the move. Enjoy making this new house to you into a lovely home sweet home. Looking forward to seeing everything as you go along.
ReplyDeleteMany good wishes for a speedy closing and move. Take time to breathe and smell those flowers you are leaving behind.
ReplyDeleteStressful and also exciting for your new adventure. Your new house is darling. With you and Terry’s wonderful talents, your new cottage will shine. Love your window boxes. Happy summer. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteKris, I know it is a stressful time, but you have such a great attitude about everything. I believe our attitude towards a situation is so important! I can't wait to see how you fix the new house. The flower boxes will be so pretty and it is just an adorable cottage-style home! It will flourish under your special touch! Love and hugs sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThough this has been fraught with anxiety, it was one of the fastest real estate turnarounds I've seen. I actually love the new cottage best of all. It looks more cottage-y and old fashioned to me. Looks like something I would have instantly chosen myself. Don't wear yourself down to a nub! Yeah, right, you're thinking!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hang in there! The end is in sight! I'd miss those pretty flowers too! Please take the time to rest when you get the chance - moving takes a lot out of you!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on the closing and the move, Kris! The new cottage is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteGo Kris Go!!!! God's Grace be with you!
ReplyDeleteI'm back! I am so happy for you. I can't imagine they found much for you to fix with the home inspection...you have done so many upgrades to the place and Terry is certainly attentive to safety issues with his work. Always something, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you will leave that sweet cottage before I see it one more time. I will miss that cute place but know your next one will be just as cute!
Have a great week- try to relax a bit. xo Diana
ps. Coming off I65 onto 80 yesterday and getting the roughly 10 miles to the 284 bypass took approximately 2 hours...on a Sunday afternoon- no less. LOL Gotta love Chicago traffic.
Praying Kris that all goes well on closing and moving. Girl, I have no doubt you will have that new home looking homey. Can't wait to see all that you do. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI am praying that the closing goes well for you and that you have patience with it all. It's so much stress for the two of you and hope it will settle down for you once it's all done and you are moved into your new home. Take care and sending you a big virtual hug.
ReplyDeleteJulie xo
Praying for you Kris. I know it is a stressful time. Sending hugs and more hugs.
ReplyDeleteCarla
Good luck with the closing, Kris. There's nothing more stressful than moving, but I hope all goes smoothly for you. Looking forward to seeing how you work your magic in #4!
ReplyDeleteWaiting to see cottage no. 4
ReplyDeleteBreath, just breath it will all continue to fall into place. The physical demands on top of feeling anxious will only be temporary and then you can go about the business of settling into your forever (I pray) home.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you to feel calm.
Wow, I wish I had your stamina! Congratulations to Terry! What a wonderful promotion! Y'all are such awesome folks....y'all deserve the very best! And of course the first poeple who saw Junk Chic Cottage #3 wanted it becuase It is so adorable! I can't wait to see Junk Chic Cottage #4. It looks cute even before you put your finishing touches on it. I love the wood floors, and I love the black and white kitchen! So pretty!!! Your summer mightbe even more busy than mine! ;P
ReplyDeleteI know your new home will be beautiful and it will be wonderful when you are finally moved. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteI wish you could take ALL of your flowers with you... and the deck.. and the garage!!!! Hard to have done all that work just to have to leave it... but I think you guys NEED projects! so you will have many more at the new place. Will be fun to see the inside as you go along, and what you do with it. Is it about the same size, minus a basement? The first pictures I think made it look a little bigger inside? I bet you are excited for closing. Sure has happened fast! xoxo Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI understand you will miss your house, but I am sure your new home will please you too.
ReplyDeleteHope you find some time to relax in between.
Hugs, Ida
Kris, good luck on the closing and those flowers are the prettiest I've ever seen. Can't wait to see it all..Happy Thursday..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteThe flower boxes are a gift to the next person.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think this is my favorite house of yours so far!! I'm in love with it. I can even see some kind of tiny gingerbread running trim along that gorgeous gable. You sure can transform ANY house!
