Unexpected Elegance ~ At the Picket Fence Parade of Homes

After an extended break over the holidays we are ready to share more beautiful homes with you in our ongoing Parade of Homes! Are you ready? Because we’ve got some really fantastic houses coming your way over the next few weeks!

Today, we’re welcoming our friend Angela from Unexpected Elegance. We’ve had the privilege of meeting this beautiful and talented gal in person and she is warm, friendly, fun and can boogie down with the best of ’em. Right Angela? 😉 We are blessed to call her our friend and we know are going to see her wonderful personality shine through as you tour her gorgeous home today!

Hi, my name is Angela and I blog over at Unexpected Elegance. I’m so excited to be here today, sharing my home with all of you.

I thought I would start by telling you a little bit about how we came to live in our current home…

I’m originally from Texas (born and raised) and met my husband at Texas A&M University. We got married and worked in Dallas for a few years until my husband got a job in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After only being there a few years and two very small kids later, we got transferred to Indiana. That was the third state in our 6 years of marriage!! Moving from the East Coast, I felt like the houses were mansions out here and couldn’t wait to tackle our new home. Unfortunately, because everything is so new (unlike our home in PA that was built in the early 1900’s) there is not a lot of character. My house is always in a current state of change and I’m OK with that. (My husband has his days!) I love a challenge and figuring out how to make things work within my small budget. I hope you will enjoy a walk through my house…because tomorrow it might not look the same. 🙂

Have a look around my home!
