Happy House-i-versary!

This last weekend we celebrated the 1 year anniversary of getting the keys to our home. 

We are lovers of change but I am so happy that we have been able to stay put. We celebrated with cupcakes and giving our house a name. Our home in Georgia (The Golden Peach) was so easy to name. This house has been much tougher. After a lot of back and forth, may I introduce.....

The Swell Burrow 
This picture was taken a couple days before the mountains of snow we've had this winter. The light post is almost entirely covered now. Also we can't get to our front door. No joke. 


The name of our house was a collaboration. We have an ocean view and Brian's first love is surfing. Swell. When I first saw this house, with its wood shingles and split levels, it immediately reminded me of The Burrow from Harry Potter. It's also a little play on the word swell which is kinda fun. I hope to make us an official house sign sometime soon. 

Maine is our home and I hope to celebrate many more house-i-versaries here. I also hope to get a lot more DIY accomplished year 2 than we did year 1. Here's to a productive year!


ps//I'll leave you with a couple of picture from our favorite spots here in Maine. Happy Monday!
