Our New House in North Carolina!

If you’re a regular reader, then you know that we’re moving AGAIN next month.  If you’re not a regular reader, then here’s the quick background:  my husband is a career Army officer (20+ years) and we move every 1-3 years for his job.  Since we started this blog 4-1/2 years ago, my family has lived in this house in Fayetteville, North Carolina:

This house in Nashville, Tennessee:

And this house in Savannah, Georgia:

As an aside, if you’re a renter, the first {yellow} house is a rental, and the above house is military quarters {very similar to a rental}, so you might find some good ideas for rental decor in my home tours. I also wrote a post about decorating rental homes {here}.

Our next house is located in Southern Pines, North Carolina, and I’m so excited to be able to show you a few photos of the exterior today, because it is a beautiful home and I can’t wait to move in and start decorating!

Here it is:

front-from-side
It’s in a lovely, established neighborhood of older homes, and this particular one began life as a ranch, but was taken down to the rafters and rebuilt less than 10 years ago.  The second story was added at that time.

front-door
Our current home in Savannah is the smallest one that we’ve lived in for quite a few years, so we’re really looking forward to being able to spread out again.  My husband can’t wait for me to have a separate office for blogging and our Etsy shop that isn’t smack dab in the middle of the kitchen (can’t imagine why!), and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to walk through the downstairs without hopscotching over sleeping dogs.  That might not happen; they seem to automatically camp out exactly underfoot no matter how large the house is!

And no, we probably don’t have enough furniture to fill this house…but that will be part of the fun, right?  Shirley from Housepitality Designs won’t be too far away, and I know she’ll show me all the best places to score beautiful antique and vintage bargains.

front-elevation
The backyard is beautiful and I hope to be able to relax on the deck after I unpack boxes all day, every day:

back-full

And down the steps, through the trees, is the thing that makes my husband’s heart go pitter-pat:

backy-yard

The fairway of one of the prettiest golf courses in the Southern Pines/Pinehurst area!

We were so fortunate–blessed, really–to find this house.  I’ll have to tell the story in a separate post; maybe after I go up to paint at the end of the month and snap some interior shots to share with you all.  It’s really an amazing story and I have no doubt that it’s exactly where God wants us to be. {Update:  see all the posts about this house here}

And for those of you who know how much I’ve disliked the yucky dark cabinets in the kitchen of our Savannah house, I’m happy to report that this beautiful kitchen sports WHITE CABINETS–yay!!  He is faithful in even the little things.

I can’t wait to share this new house with you as we make it home! {Click here if you’d like to be included on our email list–get an email every time we post, and never any spam!}

    Christy, I am a new follower. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I started following you is because you are an Army wife living in Savannah. My husband was once the XO of the 24th Med Bn headquartered at Hunter Army Airfield. I was also raised an Army brat as was my husband. I just showed him the photo of your quarters and he was as stunned as I am. Neither one of us has ever seen military quarters as nice as yours. Of course, we have seen the really old, cavernous quarters on very old posts such as Ft. McPherson, Ft. Benning, and Ft. Sam Houston. But we never got to live any of them, lol.

    This home is absolutely lovely and I know that you will decorate every nook and cranny in awesome adornment! As a military family, how many years will you be in this NC wonderland and is this a rental with constraints or are you the owners? I read where you want to retire in GA……Look forward to all the projects…..Absolutely love the porch fans…..

    Ooooh – the house is gorgeous, Christy! I can’t wait to hear all about how you found it. BTW – I live in Greensboro and won’t be too far from you either. Would love to meet up sometime with you and Shirley for a girls day!

    Welcome {back} to NC! The house is GORGEOUS! My brother-in-law travels from Charlotte {where we live} to Southern Pines almost every week and is always talking about how amazing the golf courses are there! I can’t wait to see the interior of the house, or how you are going to decorate it over the next few months!
