Our real estate agent's assistant stopped by yesterday with contracts to extend our contingency on the lake house for another 2 months...until the end of December. I spent a long time talking on the phone to my husband last night and a decision was made not to sign the contracts. So our little venture into moving to the lake is over and our contract, which expired on Halloween, is null and void. Our house has been removed from the market and life goes on.
Surprisingly, I'm not nearly as sad as I thought I'd be. I'm actually kind of relieved and I'm not sure why. I loved the lake house with all its quirks. I loved the idea of a studio separate from the house. But then again...I love my new kitchen with its barn red walls, maple cabinets and granite countertops. I love my little sewing room. I think putting this house on the market made me see how charming it is and how much work we've put into it. So, although I'm sad that there won't be a lake in my backyard, I'm happy that I'll be in this house. And I'm also happy that there won't be any more showings and my house can looked lived in again! :o)

You know Carolyn...when you were sharing these past pics with us...I was saying to myself..."Wow! This new house must really be something, cuz this present one is cuter that a bug's ear!"
So, I'm glad for you! It's like they say: Home is where your heart is!

Sorry to hear that the hard decision needed to be made, but so very glad and happy to hear you are content with it. You really do have a lovely home, and as Darcie says, "Home is where your heart is...and also your stash".
Well, I'll take a big sigh of relief with you. No more strangers tramping through your house. Ah, leave that cereal bowl from you midnight snack in the sink- hey, you can leave it on the counter! Freedom! Enjoy your "new" sense of home. That can be an adventure, too. Best wishes in your same digs!
