Our new old house

We finally found a house in NOLA!  Real-estate is....let's say....very different there. Things come and go so fast. And it's expensive!! Andrew and I drove around alot calling about different places we saw that we liked. Responses included.. $450,000....$629,000....etc. etc. etc. So, to say the least, we are happy with our little rental for now.

Our new old house has lots of charm!  It must be at least 100 years old. There are huge glass doorknobs, a fireplace in every room (5 total!!), huge 9 foot windows, 12 foot + ceilings (the things are high!), and updated kitchen and 2 full baths (which, believe it or not, is rare in New Orleans and in old homes), original hardwoods throughout the entire house. Its on a really cute street within walking distance to the park, streetcar, library, etc. We are only a few blocks from the Mardi Gras route which is exciting!! (No...not in the Quarter...the family friendly Mardi Gras in Uptown!) Tulane is only a few minutes away. We are living right in the heart of Uptown New Orleans.  I mean...we practically live in the same neighborhood as Drew Brees. Haha!

Believe it or not, we found our new home on craigslist! Technology these days...I'll tell you what.

Please excuse these pictures...they aren't so good.  And its been "staged". I promise this isn't our stuff!!

Mrs. Pratt! Your new house is so beautiful. I may or may not have cried a little tear because I'll miss you so much, but I am so happy for you! Do you have a spare bedroom? Because I'm going to come visit you and we can go to Mardi Gras together!
