Welcome to Folly Place

Let me introduce you to my dream house. Since Adam and I got engaged we have talked about where we would like to live and our desire to move to a community with a pool and tennis courts where we can really get plugged in and stay put for good. We spent many Sunday's driving around looking at different areas and going to open houses. In January of 2009 we decided to put out house on the market. The plan was to move in the summer if it sold or not (with serious hopes it sold).

That very same month my Mom came to visit for the Celine Dion concert and we took her to see this area we'd discovered called, Peachtree Corners in Norcross, GA. One house we drove by I knew was empty based on the pictures online. So, we took a peak in the windows and checking out the back porch. There were two things I really loved at first glance: 1 - It was on a cul-de-sac 2 - The master bedroom has hard wood floors. If you know me, you know that allergies are not my friend so hardwoods really is a practical solution.

At the time we were still just window shopping and the price was definitely too high. We enjoyed seeing what we liked though and working on our must-haves list. Because we wanted to but a house that we can grow into I wasn't willing to make many sacrifices.

Fast forward to late spring - We started looking more seriously and about that time they dropped the price of the dream house. After a look inside and a deer spotting I was sold. We patiently waited until our desired closing date in June got closer, had a long weekend of negotiations, and got the house! For an exceptional price!! The planning started immediately - so many rooms, walls, bathrooms, it's a decorator at heart's heaven.
