Home For Sale

You read that right! After nearly 6 years in our current home we’ve decided to put it up for sale.  It is going on sale today.

Our Home

We love our home.  It is a 2095 square foot split entry with a large deck and fenced in yard in the back.  The home is in walking distance to three lovely beaches – Egypt, North Scituate and Minot.  There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a playroom and large living room area.  This house is so special to us. It is our very first home and we moved here, to Scituate, when John was just 18 months old because we wanted to live near the sea.

In this home, I discovered my love for decorating and my style.  We rented two flats in London and one apartment in Newton, MA before coming to Scituate.  I wasn’t really allowed to decorate prior to this and with this home I got to experiment with color and discover things I love.

For those who read the blog regularly you’ll know my style – beachy, shabby chic with a twist of country thrown in.  I love mixing together sea glass colors with painted oars, hand-painted furniture, driftwood and old blue mason jars filled with cut flowers.  It has been such a fun journey from working our fireplace to:

It has been a pleasure to share this all with you.  In this home we’ve thrown many parties:

This blog was also born here!  We’ve had so many happy days and times in this home that it will be hard to leave it, but we need a little bit more space.  Luke has been working from home for quite some time and really needs a door on his office.  Then there is all my furniture!  The furniture I paint to sell and the custom furniture I paint for others.  I often joke about my studio / kitchen, but it has come time that I really do need a studio space.  My large kitchen has become too small for the big pieces of furniture people are asking me to paint.

We love Scituate and the South Shore and are not planning on going far (if all works out with selling our home).  Please keep your fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly.  If you are local and want to pop by to see our home; the first open house will be this Sunday, March 3rd from 1-3pm.  For more information, please contact our real estate agent, Tanya Ames, here.
