The Facts:
Old 1890's school house-the first in the town
Converted into apartments 20 years back
Sits squarely in the middle of the village
Within walking distance of the fabric store and the farmer's market when it is in season
We think my great-grandma (Grammie's mom) attended school here
There's 20 foot ceilings
I sleep in a loft
Better pictures coming!

I love to hear about stories when dreams come true... just like yours with the house. It looks like a magical place... Wishing you a lot of great moments there..
Jessica!!! I LOVE it already. It looks so spacious and fresh! Can't wait to see more of your cozy decorating. How awesome to be right in the middle of a little village. Life sounds good for you right now...so happy for you!
this is so wonderful jessica! you will love being able to get to a few places easily on foot. i too can't wait to see more photos. congratulations!
My friend used to have a place there, they are so beautiful! I used to daydream about living there too...how funny. Don't forget the used book store close by as well :)
Enjoy your new space! It is lovely.
sounds wonderful! and to have a connection with your great grandma...how wonderful. can't wait to see more of it!
The pictures you've already shared are great--and better ones are coming?!? Enjoy the cozy making in our blustery weather!
So exciting!!
It sounds, and looks, wonderful! Congratulations.
how cool to live in a place you wanted to live in as a child! Have fun "homey-ing" it up.
The stairs look great! What a fun place to live. Im having a Yarn Swap on my blog. Come check it out and tell your readers about it. The more the better! :D
I loved this little peak into you house, and can't wait to see more! How cool is that, that you're now living in the school that your great grandma attended. :)
Ooooh, I'm jealous. I love old buildings that are converted into apartments. They have the neatest stories behind them. Loving the yellow Pyrex too!
That's excellent, Jessica! I especially love that your great-grandma attended school here and that it's within walking distance to the farmer's market and fabric store. Enjoy & show us more when you get everything situated. :)
How cool to live in an old school house (especially one your great-grandma went to)! I love that you'll be able to walk to things.
the being able to walk to the farmers market - bliss!
Moving into a new place is fun- after all the stress of actually preparing for the move is over. Blessings on your new home.
Welcome home!
Your place looks and sounds fantastic!
I love the pictures. The perfect place to make a new home...in the middle of town next to the important places. The only thing I can think of that would be better is if it was all yours, not just an apartment :) Can't wait for more pictures.
Home sweet home....I'm glad your Pyrex is taking centerstage -- that would be the first thing I would unpack. May you haved many happy days and nights in your new home.
Enjoy every moment of it Jessica! Wishes really do come true, don't they?? :)
Wow! Your new home sounds like an amazing place. And how cool to have the link to your Grandma!
would you email me your new address - so i can pop your little winnings in the mail! they are just waiting on my counter . . . :)
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Oh it sounds perfect. And how amazing to think you'd dreamed of living there all this time and it's really happened! K x
Absolutely beautiful! Love the photos.
What a super place to live. I can't wait to see more pictures.
Walking distance to the fabric store AND the farmer's market? It doesn't get much better than that, does it? Your new home looks lovely, can't wait to see more pictures!
What a cool apartment! That's so neat that it has so much history for you and that it's so close to all the things that you love! Enjoy nesting!
oh jessica! what an amazing place to live. great places within walking distance and a connection to your family. if i lived in my childhood dream house, i'd be sequestered in the tower of an old victorian, writing novels and playing the piano.
How exciting to live in your "dream house"! I always love arranging my things in each new place. Have fun!
Oh Wow! Sounds absolutely perfect for you!
Oh Wow! Sounds absolutely perfect for you!
looks fantastic, like a blank canvas awaiting your direction.
How cool! I love the stairs to the loft!
This looks like a fantastic place! With an awesome history. (That is so cool that your Great-Grandma went to that school and now your living there! My Great-Grandma went to school in a little one room octagonal school house just down the road from me.)
What a cool story! That top photo just looks so cozy. :)
Love it! Can't wait to see more and can't wait to hear all about your new adventures!
It sounds great Jessica!!
I look forward to seeing more!
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing these photos and the history! I am excited to see more photos!!
