First Time Fancy is a blog that came to be after I purchased my first home with my boyfriend in May of 2009. After moving in, in July of that year, I was overwhelmed by the amount of work we had ahead of us, and fears of endless amounts of money pouring from our bank account. All fears and anxiety aside - we set to work from the day we got our keys and haven't looked back (or claimed for bankruptcy yet!!). Over time I have learned that just because it's your first house - it doesn't mean it can't be the home you've been dreaming of.
I've enjoyed sharing the work and projects we've done with our friends and family, and decided it was time to share them with a larger audience. I hope that through my entries, I am able to inspire others to make their first home (or second, third, fourth, etc.) their dream home - with a little money and a lot of elbow grease!
So please, join me in the adventure that is first time home ownership! You'll be sure to find a lot of projects specific to our own home, along with secrets, tips and great finds to help you turn any space into something that you'll love and be proud to call your own!
