When I was six months pregnant with Emerson, I decided to renovate my life. That meant quickly putting our house up for sale, buying a new one, and bracing for the down-to-the-studs renovation it needed. That's going to be about two years' worth of work, so Chris and I decided to live in our vacation home during the renovation. It made a lot of sense, actually. We are lucky enough to have that as an option, we love being by the beach, and it was freshly updated with all of the features and finishes I had chosen.
The only thing that I was a little nervous about is its size. It's not tiny, but at around 1,200 square feet, it doesn't exactly have a ton of extra space. Chris and I were both used to working from our home offices, but that wouldn't be an option since it doesn't have any office space. Chris joked that I might not have enough closet space for my shoes. Ha, ha, very funny.
