Today we met with Tim and Dan from Box Living up at our land. We were running a little bit late but in hindsight it was probably a good thing for Tim and Dan to have a look around without us interrupting their initial impressions of the place.
(Side note: was impressed that their company car was a cute little one rather than some fancy schmancy one. Being a cliche girl, I couldn’t tell you what actual make and model it was but it was a little compact one. Toyota?)
We laughed and at the same time were impressed that Tim had his pants rolled up and was barefoot wandering around in the mud when we arrived. When I saw his shoes later, I wasn’t surprised that he took them off, that’d be the end of those fancy canvas shoes!
We wandered around the land for a bit but we could all see the black clouds rolling in and the rain started falling heavily and I was worried that Mr. 9 month old would get soaked. We raced back into cars and made a quick decision to relocate to DD’s Country Cafe in nearby Waitoki. Mr. 2.75 played on the ipad (erm Angry Birds) and Mr. 0.75 crawled around while we sipped coffees and talked about what we were looking for. Tim drew little sketches on paper about possibilities.
They gave me some food for thought such as: what’s the purpose of a garage and is bigger really better?
I loved that they like Ikea. We’ve often dreamt of bringing in an Ikea kitchen but haven’t gone as far as figuring out all the import/shipping costs involved. I love that they love simplicity but still are classy.
We talked about lots of other things too and perhaps this will be a good fit. What’s most exciting is that perhaps we’re only 9 months away from moving into our new home up on our land!
