...you were right! It seems that most of you knew already, (am I that transparent?) We really love this house, and it has the absolute perfect layout for working from home.
The entire basement floor is one huge room with lots of storage. We'll be able to have all the shop and craft junk down here with plenty of space to work. The room gets lots of natural light and has two sets of sliding glass doors on the opposite side that open out to the driveway. We will be able to load up packages into the car easily and head for the Post Office. When we aren't working, we can just shut the door and stay upstairs. I'm hoping this will help me separate my home life from my work life, something I'm sure anyone who works from home has struggled with.
Max thought the landscaping made a pretty sweet climbing wall.
This is a truly beautiful home, and were were lucky to get a good deal on it. It is completely different from any place we have ever lived, and we are excited to make such a big change. Max loves the new house, and I'm glad that he is finally getting jazzed about moving and set up his new room. Things are chugging along, we're packing the truck this Thursday, and hitting the road on Friday! What a week, I'll be glad when it's over!
Tomorrow, pictures of our trip to the WNC Farmer's Market. Get ready to drool....
Beautiful choice! Enjoy your road trip.

Thats so exciting! My boyfriend and I lived in the WAY country (15 minute drive to the closest gas station) and despite the commute, we loved it. The privacy and calm is a good change to come home to after work. And it's good you only live 10 minutes from civilization! :-D
Here's to a safe and smooth move! :)

Yay!!! I cannot wait to hear details about how you decorate and make such a special spot home. :) It's so cute!!!

Looks like you picked a winner. How nice to have some peace and quiet and privacy, and a place to get some work done too.
Good luck with the big move;)

The house is beautiful! You are seriously making me homesick. I grew up in Hickory, so all these pictures make me want head west.

Holy cow I missed a lot while I was laid up!
Love your tree house in the woods! Love the photos of the farmers markets in Asheville.
Can't wait to see how you do when you start discovering the antique shops around there...
I'm also anxious to see how you set that fab basement up as your headquarters!
And just everything else....I'm excited for you all around!
xoxo, Cerri
