…”she’s back”….sorry it has been a while since I have posted anything, but I have been somewhat “pre-occupied”. To better explain the title….my husband and I have MOVED!!!! That’s right, about 10 months ago he was offered a promotion which would involve relocation….
after much thought and consideration, we decided to take the “plunge”. It is a wonderful opportunity for him, career wise, and certainly a new adventure for me. We weighed out our options, and decided to purchase a townhome, close to his office, with no lawn maintenance, so that we could keep our “cottage by the sea”…. The commute for weekends is only about 2 hours, so we can have the best of both worlds….We consider ourselves truly blessed and are thankful everyday for this opportunity………
Now, for the fun part…..I have to decorate a townhome!!!! Thank goodness for HomeGoods! I look forward to sharing this venture with you, and I welcome your thoughts, ideas and suggestions for the new house…..let’s get started!
I promise I will be posting more often and keeping you up-to-speed on the progress. I have already purchased some furnishings, but basically it is still a “vanilla” house…..I need color! Having 2 homes I do have to be cautious about cost…..there again, thank goodness for HG!!!

Do you LOVE IT?

1. Hi Alli,
I thought you were on vacation…moving is no vacation! Your new townhome is great looking. You’re going to have so much fun decorating
I’m glad you have the beach house too. Its adorable. We are all going to want to see all that you do with the new house. So you better start hitting HomeGoods in a big way….
I’m happy for you and your husband and congradulations on the new job.

Good to hear from you.

3. Alli, I too am a HomeGoods Gal and have decorated my home and condo, and now on a Mt. home. I just love to go there and find the wonderful items you see in the designer stores , but cost so much less! I can tell you all the HomeGoods in MI, Naples area, and Now, Alpharetta GA area! MY SISTER AND I LOVE HOMEGOODS.

4. Hi Alli,
What a great opportunity! I love the way your house looks! I totally agree that a townhouse can be the best of two worlds. You have a great house to live in without having the enormous maintenance. Good luck to you and your husband! Let this location be your blessing of blessings.

5. Thanks Nancy Jo…….
I am so excited! There are 3 HomeGoods within a 20 mile radius of my new home……I am very lucky. When i travel the first thing I do is check to see if there is a store in the area I am going…..I guess we are addicted!
Happy Shopping

7. Congrats on the move Alli,
I’ve moved 3 times in the past 10 years, and LOVE it. Get to make new friends, and best of all…redecorate! I mean a whole new floor plan to work it…it’s exciting!
Here’s a tip…do the guest room first so your friends can come help you get the rest sorted out!
Enjoy!

10. Goo luck to you with the new home. Once you get the place decorated, you will be ready to start all over again. Either at the beach house or this one. Have lots of fun and can’t wait to see what you do!
