knew when I saw it that it was the reason why I had lived with my parents for most of my life, saving money here and there for I-didn't-know until I saw it, nestled on a perfectly peaceful small town street, my new home.
My house sprawls on an acre of lush grass and a few shady trees; a concrete driveway reaches back to the large disconnected barn turned garage. The thing I like the most about the garage is that it is quite old and the loft had been converted to a small apartment with a bed, desk, nightstand and bathroom. I decided to work on the garage loft first so I could live there while I painted the main house. I left the floorboards the way they were, bought some muted green bedding, cleaned the windows, mopped the bathroom floor, arranged essential personal items in the medicine cabinet and stuck some artful decals on a few of the walls. The loft became very comfy and I was a bit sad to think I would have to move out soon.
The main house was built in a country style with a large wrap around porch.
