After a long three and a half month remodel and a weekend of unpacking we are finally living in our new house with furniture and floors! It was a long road getting here but I’m so happy to be on this end of it. We’ll be unpacking and decorating for weeks to come but I wanted to share a few little glimpses as well as some finishing touches I’m loving.

Have a happy Monday – thanks for stopping by!

We’ve been living in our house while renovating the past few months, without really buying any of the furnishings. Until now! I’m so excited to clean up the dust and decorate the space. Previously, the biggest place I lived since I moved out of my parent’s house was our old three bedroom rental. The living area and kitchen were itty bitty, so we’re kind of starting over with the new house. One of the first room I’m focusing on is our living area. We actually ended up knocking down a wall and taking out a bedroom to make one large great room and there’s a lot of ground to cover! continue reading

Happy Friday! Was it just me, or was this week extra long? I’m kicking off the weekend with a little home post. Our house is still being renovated so I thought I’d share one of my current inspiration boards for our kitchen nook.

We already have the table and two of these chairs, but need some finishing touches to spruce it up. The light fixture that was there when we bought the house was dated and not our taste, so I’ve been searching for a new one. I have my eyes on a few right now.. this copper pendant is so pretty and I love how it looks with this rug. But I’m also loving this one. What do you think?! continue reading

I read somewhere that art is the jewelry of the home and I loved that. I’m hoping to add a few pieces to our collection. I’ve had my eye on this Gray Malin print for too long now. Another big purchase that I think is also like jewelry is a sputnik chandelier. I have my eye on this one right now for our dining room.

It’s been a crazy busy past few months and if you’ve been following me on instagram or snapchat (ashnfashn) you might have seen it’s because we bought a house! We started looking shortly after we got married last summer and looked at a lot of houses. So many that if you’re in the market in the Orange County area, let me know so I can give you all the tips I picked up.

After many months, we finally agreed on one and plugged the trigger. We closed right before Thanksgiving and moved in that weekend. Side note: not an ideal time to move. continue reading
