After 25 years of living in the City of Boston, it's time to head for the suburbs. We bought an old house just over the Boston line in the town of Milton. We thought it needed some updating and cosmetic work, but quickly realized it needed a complete gut job!

Milton ranked top 10 small city in America
Milton was named as the top 8 small city in the US, and the highest ranking in Massachusetts. Not so sure I'd call it a small city, but it's a nice honor nonetheless. In the past, Milton has also been on Money Magazine's top best places to live.

"To compile its ranking, WalletHub compared 1,268 small cities using 30 metrics across five categories: affordability (housing costs, cost of living, median household income), economic health (unemployment rate, population growth), education and health (school system quality, high school graduation rate, low birthweight, adult obesity), quality of life (average commute time, number of restaurants, coffeeshops, bars, and department stores), and safety (violent crime rate, property crime rate)."

Foyer
So, I'm still greeted each morning by workers, but at least when I walk through the foyer, THAT is done!
(In terms of workers, they plastered the basement and upstairs sleeping porch last week, creating mounds of dust everywhere. They also paved the circular part of the driveway. Tomorrow they're supposed to lay the stone for the front door and mudroom door walkways. The interior walls for the garage are being worked on and the garage doors will be installed tomorrow or Wednesday)
The Living Room is behind the glass doors. The front door is the black door that is cut off.
The double glass doors are to the Dining Room and the open door is the Powder Room.
Lots of Mirrors in the Powder Room!
