So weird!!!!!!!!!!! I better get used to it. I’ve lived in North Carolina for 27 years, and it’s hard to let go.
Matt and I got up early this morning to get moving day started as early as possible (after our 5 hour drive in separate cars!!!)
Our internet should be connected when we get there. (The water might not be on, however!)
While we’re on the road, here’s a sneak peak at our new rental house!
SO EXCITED!!
See ya!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i LOVE IT! the house is stunning, i can’t wait to see how you guys decorate! so glad you had a safe trip 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
You know, I haven’t lived in Louisiana for going on 9 years (away for college, then grad school, and now living somewhere else for a job), but I STILL say that it’s my home. 🙂
Your rental looks awesome!!! Love the porch!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Wow, your new house is beautiful! I love all the wood and light…definitely a clean and fresh looking space! Good luck on your drive!
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
The house looks great, love the floors and paint colors. That sucks about the long boring 5hr drive. Hope you packed some good snacks to get you by. See you when you get there.
Jessica @ How Sweet says
Love it! The house looks great!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
Is there a water heater in the bathroom? That’s a bit bizarre.
I love the porch!
Samantha says
I believe it’s a bonus toilet in the utility room, rather:)
Annie @ stronghealthyfit says
The house looks so cute! So happy for you two 🙂
Heather @ Side of Sneakers says
Happy moving day!! Moving is so bittersweet- especially when you have to change states.
The new place looks incredible!! I love the green 🙂
Evan Thomas says
Congrats on the move! Your new house looks amazing!
Christena says
I’m the same way. I grew up in TN, now have lived in AL x 8 years but still think TN is home.
Gosh, I LOVE your new floors!!!!!

Virginia has been my home for 19 years… I love it, and miss it when I’m away from it.
Visit the Chateau Morrisette Winery on the Blue Ridge Parkway at some point… incredible ! and close to Charlottesville.
Caity says
Wow! The new house is SO CUTE! I love it. I look forward to hearing more about hte transition and journey to lviing in a new place. One of my biggest fears (I guess it is a fear?) is leaving where I live now, and not feeling like I will fit in in a new city or state. Especially because I am terrified of not knowing anyone. Good luck with the move!
Jess says
I’m going to stop by after work today for a second!! Thanks for moving in between my work and my house 🙂 Super convenient!
Wei-Wei says
Wow, your new house looks great! Good luck with moving day!

Paula says
Moving is scary, but also so exciting. The rental house is lovely! Best wishes in your new adventure.
Ashley says
THAT is seriously such a gorgeous house!! Especially for a rental. All of the rentals around here are soooo poorly maintained + still cost an arm and a leg. I hope to find something 1/2 as nice in Ft. Collins when we move next month! I’m so excited for you guys. Big stuff ahead and you are going to rock it 🙂 xo
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
Gorgeous house! I love the wall colours and the well-lit kitchen (for optimal food photographing!)

Sabina says
What a cute house, Kath! Have fun with the move. I hope it’s not stressful and that you guys get settled in quickly and smoothly. I’m super-jealous of your GAS stove! 🙂

Welcome to Virginia 🙂 I recently moved to Williamsburg from Michigan! I know what you are going through. So far, Virginia is great. Plus it’s for lovers! Congrats on the move.
Lolly says
Would one of you PLEASE update me on what happened with the bakery lease? did it happen, fall through or still in the works? I’m so curious (and hopeful) but seem to have missed the final decision regarding it. TIA!!!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
It’s the new KERF kitchen!! Love the hardwood floors.
Jess. says
Wow! Looks gorgeous. I can see you and Matt living your lives there quite well 🙂
Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf says
Beautiful rental house! The one we’re looking at right now is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeallllllllllyyyyyy ddaaaaaaaated (think pumpkin orange kitchen counters, old oak cabinets and built-in bookshelves, and awful ugly carpets). It’s going to need a lot of TLC! But that’s all we can ask for in a house that rents for 600/mo and has 3 bedrooms and 1800 sq ft!
Healthy Jewish Princess says
i haven’t been on your blog in awhile and it seems like only yesterday you were worried about packing up and selling your other house! i hope you have a very safe and smooth move to your new place 🙂
Kathy W. says
Love the floors, craftsman woodwork and French doors–the green paint colors are great, too! (Also love the slanted-eave bedroom w/the little door under the eave. I’ve always wanted that kind of storage space in a house.)
How fun it will be to decorate & organize!
marie @ marie would says
awww! the house totally seems like you, which may be a weird thing to say, but the kitchen fits you and your husband! very cool! also, could you please give more packing and moving advice or tips? you seem like you really know what you are doing!
Caitlyn @ A Spoonful of Life says
Ooooo…I love the wood countertops in the kitchen!! Very pretty!
Karen says
Safe travels Kath and Matt!
Lovely house!
So jealous of that porch!

What a cute place! Love the fireplace, tidy kitchen and french doors.
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
How cute!!
Sassy Molassy says
Those hardwood floors are gorgeous, Kath. What an exciting place to be heading toward! Congrats on the new adventure. Hope the lease stuff works out.
Jacey says
Welcome to Virginia! It is my home now, too. My husband and I moved to the Richmond area in 2008 after living in Florida for over 20 years. We absolutely love it here. There are so many wonderful places to discover here — we go on a new adventure just about every quarter. Charlottesville is beautiful. You will love Wintergreen, too. And when you need a really good shopping fix, c’mon down to Short Pump Town Center which is northwest of Richmond and convenient from C-ville on I-64. Best of luck to you both!
Marie says
The house is gorgeous! So light and airy, especially that full bath. Welcome to VA! We’re glad to have you 🙂 Hope moving goes well today (and I hope you didn’t get rained on too badly!).
Diana says
Your new house is so charming! I can picture you two sipping brew on that porch!
Good luck with the move! Diana
Hilary says
Super cute house. A porck complete with rocking chairs?! How awesome!
Tricia says
Welcome to Virginia! We’re about an hour away but may have to take a drive over to your store when it’s up and running. Charlottesville is a great place! Congratulations and again welcome!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
Such a huge adventure ahead of you. I couldn’t imagine moving to a new place after 27 years. I’ve never lived in one place more than 5 years.
erica says
love the house! i wish i had a porch w/rocking chairs!!!
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write says
Your floors are amazing! I’m so jealous.
Erin Jones says
I’m from Virginia. Glad you are now calling it home. 🙂 I currently live in Georgia (military wife) and am moving to Okinawa (!!) this fall. Virginia will ALWAYS be my home! My brother just recently moved from Charlottesville. It’s a gorgeous town. Hope you enjoy it!
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Nice house! Good luck with the move!

Goodness, those kitchen counter tops are just beautiful, aren’t they? Nice job, guys! Good luck with the move.
Kel says
Looking forward to many pics and blogs from your new residence!
Adorable!
Meagan says
WOW! The house looks great! I love the natural light throughout (especially the kitchen) and the kitchen even has a wood “butchers” block countertop! I’m so jealous! You’ll love it. And I thought you were buying? This may be the first post in a long time that shows NO food photos! HAHA. Good luck with move in day Kath and Matt!!

I’m clearly geography challenged or maybe just not that observant. I didn’t realize you were moving to Virginia. Not that I live anywhere close, but I thought you were moving either to somewhere in NC or possibly SC.
The rental looks AMAZING! Love all the wood floors and all of the light. It looks so cute!
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
Wow – what a gorgeous house! I love the front porch!!! Perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by 🙂

Love the house!

Your new house is super cute! It actually reminds me of your old place. 😯
Good luck with the move!!!!!
Jenn
Ann says
I haven’t read your blog in a while (or any, for that matter) but I just read this post and had to comment. I adore your bathroom and those hardwood floors are to die for! I’m off to catch up but glad you’re happy with your move!

Gorgeous, gorgeous floors! I love that beautiful wood. 😀

Welcome to VA, I have been here for almost a year! I hope you enjoy it.

Ohh how cute!! I’m in love with that porch and porch swing!! 🙂
Hannah says
What a beautiful house! I bet my entire two-person unit could fit in one of your rooms 😛 Can’t wait to see more of Charlottesville through your blog – I miss it!
Susan says
The new house is very “Kerf”… I can totally see you guys there, congrats on the great find! I’m sure the bakery location will work out just as well as the house has… Best!
Jess says
Beautiful! Sometimes I wonder why I live in a little one-bedroom apartment in New York.
Also beautiful—the summer herb soup you posted last night. I tried it and loved it!
coco says

jessica says
Kath and Matt just moved to Charlottesville, VA. Guess you don’t read the blog much lol!

I’m a little late Kath, but welcome home to VA! I love the new place bare, but I’m sure it’s going to look lovely once you’ve decorated.
