Movin' On Up ... to the East Side of Allen

In May 2009, the Red Barns were blessed enough to make an upgrade from their awesome two-bedroom apartment that had been their home for the first two years of marriage. The two began searching for a house in February, and after trolling online searches each day for two months and using up several Saturdays to do some house shopping, the Red Barns stumbled upon the perfect home that had just entered the market. It was an amazing one-story, 4/2/2 that Claire best describes as "really open."



The couple closed in the first week of May and were able to slowly move their stuff from the apartment over to their new-yet-previously loved house in East Allen (about 30 minutes north of downtown Dallas). Since the Red Barns didn't have to be out of the apartment until mid-June, the two were able to paint the entry way, study, laundry room, hallway and den. The Red Barns welcomed their old apartment furniture and, with a handsome federal stimulus package, were able to add a couple new pieces like a dining room set, computer desk, TV console, patio furniture and grill. It was more perfect than the couple could have ever imagined for their first house!
