Gunpowder, Here We Come!


I never imagined that Ben and I would be able to buy our first home within the first year of our marriage, but our dream is coming true! We recently made an offer on this cozy home and our offer was accepted! There is so much to share, but this post will have to be brief since I am in the midst of Urinetown rehearsals and I need to run out the door, but let me give you the stats:


Location: Battery Point on Wilmington Island
1,214 sq ft
3 Bedrooms
2 Baths
1 Car Garage (Perfect for Ben's BMW)
Fenced-in Backyard (Perfect for Quinnie)
Open floor plan
Patio/Deck
Built in 1989
All new Appliances
AND SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!

I'll share our big/budget friendly remodeling ideas on my next post.


Ain't she pretty?

Just say a prayer that everything in the next few weeks goes smoothly for us.
I am the luckest girl I know!

Ben and our Realtor, Dan Akins-he's worked his butt off for us.

Lovely fireplace leading up to a vaulted ceiling!

A view from the living room into the kitchen area...we have many plans for this area. Ohh lala...skylights

The front door is to your right. Welcome!


Don't judge the kitchen...she will get a makeover sooner than later.
Note the new appliances.


The closed door to the right leads to the garage. Notice the pantry room!!! Yes, I said ROOM. And Ben likes the fact that there is a water spout on the fridge. Ice cold water. aaaahhhh.

My pantry.....hehehehe. Envision shelves full of mandarin oranges, green beans, Bisquick, and brownie mix. (ha) Oh and don't forget the Saltines for Ben.

A view from the living room into the dinning room. Think tiger strand bamboo flooring and a soft blue hue on the wall.


Sliding doors leading out to the deck.


View from the 1st guest bedroom/office. The door at the far right leads into the guest bathroom/laundry room and the door to the left leads to the 2nd guest bedroom/Ben's studio. At the end of the hall leads to the Master bedroom/love shack.

Master bath

Master "walk in" closet. We'll be living a life of luxury.

2nd guest bedroom/Ben's studio

Guest bathroom


Guest bathroom leading into laundry room.

Laundry room. I can't believe we are going to have our very own washer and dryer!!!!


BMW House

Side of the house leading to the backyard. I see many nights sitting out on the porch grilling out looking up at the starry sky. I can't wait!!!


The backyard. Quinnie is going to be in heaven!

x's & o's,
