Progress | Embracing Where We Are

Hi friends. Today we are celebrating Progress! And by celebrating I mean, embracing where we are at, right now in this very moment. I’m sure we are all on our journey with something. Am I right?! Maybe we are working towards a new goal, a new number on the scale, or getting back into routine. Or maybe you are working on some home projects just like I am right now? One thing I feel like doesn’t get mentioned or celebrated enough is progress. It’s so easy to get swept up in the before and after. I mean who doesn’t love a good before and after picture? I sure do! Whether it’s of an insane home makeover, or even a weight loss journey, the before and after leaves me in awe every time. But something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is it’s during the progress that the real work happens. Let me tell you what I mean ~

Hello Friends! inspiration, a paint color, a fashion trend, a new gadget, a book, or even song that I can’t stop singing. There’s no particular rhyme or reason, or order in which I share them, just a compilation of all the things that have caught my eye as of lately. Here We Go!

Paint Colors in our New Home

Hello Friends!
Thank you so much for all of your kind words on our New Home tour! I know it’s not always easy watching a blogger move, especially when you absolutely loved the house they lived in before. Trust me I get it, I have totally experienced some of those mixed emotions as I’ve watched some of my favorite bloggers move from houses they were in when I first found them, and wondered why they left it. I know I have yet to really tell the whole story as to why we moved into our new home, in the same town, I promise I will soon! I’m just so thankful that so many of you are here for the journey as we have begun the process of making this new house our home. For me part of that process includes paint color choices. I believe picking out paint colors for your walls is like picking out a pair of jeans. It’s personal, and you want it to reflect your style and mood that you are in. While the current colors in our new home aren’t bad colors by any means, some of them don’t reflect my personal style as much as I’d like. Some of you had asked what the paint colors were that were on the walls when we moved in. So today I’m sharing all the paint colors in our new home.

New Home Tour | Part 2

Hello Friends!! Today I am back sharing the second part of new Home Tour with – the upstairs! While I didn’t photograph every nook and cranny to show you, I feel like this best represents the rooms we use most. Of course if you watch our New Home Tour on my YouTube channel you get a feel for what it’s like to walk around the upstairs layout of our home. I know I’ll share more close ups and details of the upstairs as I begin to make it feel more like our home – including one of the ideas I have to cover one of our hallway walls with family photos. Until we get to those projects, for now here is a look at the bedrooms and master suite in our New Home Tour – Part 2!

Home Exterior Inspiration

Thank you so much for all your sweet comments on Part 1 of our New Home Tour! Before we jump in to Part 2, I wanted to show you some of the inspiration photos I’ve been saving for the exterior of our home, and share some exciting news!! You’ve probably heard me say before, how vital I believe it is to have 3-5 inspiration photos when it comes to decorating the inside of your home, but I also believe the same is true when it comes to the outside of our homes as well! Gathering inspiration photos is so helpful in providing clarity to your design likes, as well as helping you see an end result to shoot for. This doesn’t mean that your space is going to come out exactly like the space in your inspiration photo, but it does help guide you, and give you vision when you are in the process of creating a space you love. So today I’m sharing the photos I’ve saved that are my inspiration for the exterior of our home.

Hello Friends!! It has been a little while since I last posted, and that’s because we took the plunge and tackled a few of our bigger projects here at our new home, so that we could finally start to unpack more and settle in. I’ll be sharing more on what those projects are soon, but today I wanted to pick up where I left off. The last time I showed you are new house, it was all about the outside (click HERE to see that tour), so today I wanted to kick things off by showing you some of the inside. The first floor to be exact. Welcome to our New Home Tour, Part 1. Come on in ~

Hello Friends!! What a week it has been! We have buckled down on some of our first projects we wanted to tackle on the inside of our home, before we unpack decor and hang pictures on the wall, and per usual they have turned out to be a bit more in depth than we anticipated, lol. But that’s how it goes with home projects, so while we work on a few things on the inside, I wanted to show you more of the exterior of our new home.

Hello Friends!! I’m so excited for today, because today our New Home Tour is up on our NEW YouTube channel! I will be sharing all the photos of our new home here on the blog this week, along with some of our plans for this new space! I shared a couple little sneak peeks on Instagram this past week, but really wanted to wait until you could watch our new home tour video. There is so much we love about this new home, the interior as well as the property and all it has to offer. To say we feel like we are on a little slice of heaven is an understatement, and I can’t wait for you to finally see!

Hello friends! We have made it through another week! Today officially marks 2 weeks that we have been in our new house, and I can honestly say that we are LOVING every minute of it. It’s so much more than we could have even thought possible or hoped for, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you! This week on YouTube we shared a Final Walk through of our last house – the one you all know and love. And it’s got me thinking….
