These classic Colonial kitchen renovations show interiors ready for modern-day life ( Above ) The 1919 Colonial of Sweeten homeowners Amanda and Cory The quaintness of Colonial-style homes is undeniable. Usually marked by two or three stories and brick or wood facades, these dwellings are traditionally found on the east coast. They are typically characterized by a simple almost minimalist shape. The floor plan keeps the kitchen and dining room on the first floor with bedrooms on the second. And while some have open-concept layouts, it is more common to see separation between rooms. They are also easy to remodel by adding on to the side or back.

If you missed part one of the post on our decision to move, you can catch up HERE ! We are SO excited! It’s been an incredibly busy few weeks as we’ve been getting our house up for sale, but we are just so thrilled to begin this adventure by moving to a new home. I can’t wait to tell you more about it! At the end of part one of my story, my husband and I were taking off on a quick road trip to an area north of us that I had wanted to visit for a long time. Little did we know, we’d not only find our dream location there, but our dream home. A dream house doesn’t only have one address.
