goodbye
• 32 comments •
Who doesn't like the novelty of staying at hotels? We've always loved to travel and hope it won't be too difficult to adjust to the new nomadic lifestyle. Having said that, it would have definitely been more convenient, for the both of us, to deal with the surgery and hospital visits if we still had a home. We left in a rush, and never really got to say goodbye.
The two of us had owned our house, together, for 4 years. Neither of us was crazy about the place. The layout, the wood, design, and wasted space were things we weren't ever fond of, but it was a home we made together and were sad to leave it. These are some photos we took while we were there, some old... some taken for the sale of it.
Considering all the scuzzy bathrooms we will most likely encounter during our travels, the ensuite will be sorely missed. Lament.
We took our walk-in closet for granted.
It's going to be quite the adjustment to go from over 60 sq. ft of closet space to a back pack.

Your house was lovely but on to bigger and better, and some great adventures! :)
ReplyDeleteHow long have the two of you been together? How old are you? What were your jobs before quitting? ...Just some questions that I'm curious about.
ReplyDeleteHere is to a new chapter in your lives!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow your walk in closet was amazing. We were sad to leave all of our homes as well x
ReplyDeleteyour house was GORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeletewow. really gorgeous.
i love that beautiful picture of you in the black dress. Alex should have that on his work desk. ;)
i can't wait to see what your new house looks like Mina!
and that closet? CLOSET OF MY ABSOLUTE DREAMS.
so much better to sell a house you don't love, have an amaaazing round the world trip and buy a real love nest. One you both adore. What a fabulous life. Hope you're recovery is going well. Mx
ReplyDeleteWow your house is gorgeous! But I'm sure this new chapter of your life will be so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI think that this adventure will be worth selling your house! I cannot be more jealous. To travel the world!
ReplyDeleteThe house was so cute..but your adventures ahead will be well worth it! So jealous :)
ReplyDeletei would die...or at least sacrifice a body part for that closet. i've decided that my closet is much much too small for a 22 year old girl who loves clothes.
ReplyDeleteit sucks being sick period, but it's a least a bit better if you're home {i got super super sick when i first got to south africa a few years ago. i remember wailing on the bathroom floor that i just wanted to be home!} i hope you feel better soon so you can start enjoying those hotel rooms!
xo
Such a beautiful home !!
ReplyDeleteAnd its really a huge place though,heeeee Ohhhh man,I too would miss the walk in closet so much <3
Those huge bathtubs too. Can't wait to hear more on your adventures !
thank you for stopping by...it is always so nice to meet a fellow canadian in the blog world!
ReplyDeleteOh my word what a big house!! Ours would fit in it about 10 times!!!
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom & closet are wonderful... I'd miss them dearly too.
I hope you're on the mend now... nothing worse than being somewhere strange when you're not well.

Nice place! You'll miss it, but your travels will more than compensate. You can take your memories and experiences ANYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool thing to do, and I'm amazed you guys manage to say bye bye to it! Awesome! Hope your travels will be amazing!
ReplyDeletei realize that you've packed up everything and gotten rid of tons of your stuff. i also realize that the last thing you need is a cup, but i think you'd love it:

i immediately thought of you when i came across it.
I love the artwork over the fireplace...
ReplyDeleteYour house was lovley, but I'll bet the next one, after all your travels, will be PERFECT. :)
ReplyDeleteThe closet space I don't miss too much but, the ensuite. Oh, what I would give for an ensuite bathroom.
ReplyDeleteYour house was pretty.i want this closet for me !!
ReplyDeletehave a great week
xoxo
I am so jealous! I hope one day I can quit my job and travel around with a backpack! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteGood luck adjusting to the backpack. You will have such a fantastic time!!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't done the whole house thing yet. I definitely miss one of my old apartments though. I totally relate about space issues. One of the things that keeps me away from homes is that I fear I'll just be rattling around in it. Not to mention more space means more to clean! I admire you for leaving it all behind.
ReplyDeletePS My goodness. I just got back from our little trip to California and was sad to hear you were hospitalized. Hope you're feeling much better :)
your off on travelling adventures? where are you going?! jealous x
ReplyDeleteYour house was stunning - so adorable and homey. But just think of all of the adventures lying in wait for the two of you! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing closet and tub!! You two are in for a real adventure. My husband and I are packing up and moving overseas in less than a year. Change is great. It keeps you fresh.
ReplyDeleteDang girl at the space in that house! But the world is much bigger :-)
ReplyDeleteYour plan is so inspirational! I've added you to my blogroll so I and my readers can keep up with your great adventure! I would love to see an About section on here to learn a little more about your backgrounds... Hope you are recovering well and can continue on your journey soon.
ReplyDeleteYou two are incredible. What an amazing adventure to be embarking on! I'll take that master bath if you're done with it. Ah ha
ReplyDeleteNice kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI already knew you guys were fabulously wealthy. Stop showing off. I demand 100% more photos of the actual trip.
ReplyDeleteI know you're delayed, but take pictures of the food court in the hospital or whatever while you're waiting.
i love that such a normal looking home can house two huge dreamers...
ReplyDeletebravo for doing what you're doing, i'm new to the story so i'm stoked to attach myself on and follow the wayward way.
xoxoxo...
