My Dream Home

Welcome to my blog! To kick things off, I’d love to introduce you to our first—and most likely forever—home! It’s an enormous project, but thankfully, we’re youngish, energetic, and healthy. Most importantly, I’m a girl with big #DREAMS. Here’s to having the patience, creativity, and determination to see this transformation through!

Blood, sweat, tears, and endless laughter have already gone into making this house our perfect family home. But let’s be honest—it’s going to take a few more years to truly complete! We’re not in a rush; we’re taking it one day at a time, savoring every step of the journey.

My first piece of advice? When you find your dream home, don’t let others’ opinions deter you. Not everyone will share your vision, and that’s okay—we all have different tastes. What matters most is what you see and believe in for your future home.

I wholeheartedly believe in following your heart—but also in being smart! Before purchasing an older property, do your due diligence: conduct thorough surveys, consult experts, and prepare for a few unexpected surprises. That’s the charm of restoring old homes—every challenge comes with a hidden silver lining. Believe me, I’ve learned this firsthand! (Stay tuned for future posts where I’ll share some of our biggest surprises!)

My mum always jokes that I was born in the wrong century because of my love for all things Victorian and vintage. That’s why I’m beyond excited to bring this home back to life! Lyntara was built in 1876, and I can’t wait to uncover its history while restoring it to its former glory.

Let the adventure unfold!
