As I shared on my Instagram stories this weekend, we recently purchased a beach house!

It’s far from “turnkey” move in ready and we’ve got a lot of renovations to do (hopefully before the summer starts) but I’m super excited!

It’s up in Rhode Island, about two hours from us in Connecticut.

This means a lot of the work will be happening without us there to supervise it daily (which seems a little crazy) but fingers crossed it will be fine.

Yesterday we picked up our keys and met with our contractor for the first time. He seems great and very organized and we’re hoping to get the demo portion started this week.

As I mentioned on my stories, the house has great potential – it needs some updates and some love.

The photo above is the back of the house. The views and light are amazing – it’s really all about the back of this home.
