What part of East Nashville is it? (you can email me if you want) I'm happy for you guys! I hope you do a tour of it,too. And if you guys need help moving,let us know. We are big home bodies so it's good to get out every once & a while to Nashville. Plus we have a truck! I know you don't know me that well,so maybe it was a bad idea,haha.

I live in an extremely quirky 1930s duplex that was BEYOND scary when I moved in, but is now GORGEOUS and has been the perfect home for me. I looked at many places and DO NOT know what made me pick this place (dirty dingy, bad-ish part of town), but have found that everything is as it should be. You are right--peace is important!

My husband and I bought our house last year and within 8 months our home was broken into and everything electronic on the first floor was taken...this was WITH a security system....it was the most horrible experience of my life up until now and it took me months to get over-I loooove our home but knowing now that not even a security system will stop people (the cops said it had to be a group of people for how much they took)it's really made us question our decision. When in doubt, always go with your gut! On that note, congrats on the new place, that closet is phenominal!

I feel mostly safe at my house, and if I don't for some reason I sleep with mace, a hammer, and big ass knife next to my bad. I doubt I'd even use them, as I always imagine I would hop out my bedroom window if someone broke in :) I guess I say all that to assure you that playing out scenarios in your head is totally normal. <br /><br />Best of luck with your moving!

The closet look...Congratulations on the new place!! The closet looks lovely. <br /><br /> This made me think a lot...about how little I knew before buying my house haha. I wanted to buy my first house at 19 and picked one in what I'd always been told would eventually be an up&coming area...six years later I'm still across from, literally, a housing project. After living there for awhile I found out some real ~fun facts including that at one point the basement was used for dog fighting :( <br /><br />Ultimately I think "Home" is definitely what you make of it. Hopefully the love and happy energy in the house now overpowers all the negativity of the past (I can't think of a way to make that sound not corny). And I have seen some crrraaaaazy crazy stuff go down in the surrounding area but even when I lived there totally alone, I never really felt ~unsafe. Of course, my husband insists we have to move before we prepare for a baby but for the time being, what matters most about my house is what's on the inside.lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237413864784297959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-54961190228523581112012-01-27T14:02:03.345-06:002012-01-27T14:02:03.345-06:00That's definitely how East Nashville is. We...That's definitely how East Nashville is. We've lived in East Nashville and now live in Inglewood (which is basically East Nashville too) and that's one of the things that I've never been able to get used to - the crime. And the police helicopters associated with the crime. <br /><br />My advice is to get to know your neighbors. You're bound to have some wacky ones but you'll meet lots of nice people that will look after your property when you're not home if you're friendly to them and do the same for them. <br /><br />Make sure that your girls are not only collared and tagged but microchipped. And get a cheap alarm system. Sign up for the neighborhood list-serv and go to the neighborhood crime meetings so that you'll be aware of crime trends ebbing and flowing. And if you have a big screen TV, don't have it showing in the front window. :)Eartha Kitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189308677139650882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-64297567902917150182012-01-27T13:58:00.549-06:002012-01-27T13:58:00.549-06:00You live in Nashville??
