It’s crazy to think I’ll be halfway through my pregnancy in just a couple weeks. Once we found out the sex it seemed like the most frequently asked questions I was getting were if we had a name picked out (we don’t) and what color we’re painting the nursery (we’re not). We remodeled our house earlier this year and decided to paint all the walls white. There’s just something so clean and bright about it and I love how much natural light we get. The room we’ll be using for the nursery is currently Jeff’s home office, but in the next few weeks we’re going to clear out the room and get started on it. I wanted to share the nursery inspiration I’ve been pinning. continue reading
When we finally moved into our house (you know, after a four-month re-model), we had so many things to decorate. Five months later we’re still not done… and to tell you the truth I’m not sure when we will be. But that’s ok! We kind of took the summer off but I’m just getting back into it and I realized one of the areas I really neglected was throw pillows on our brand new sofa. Continue reading
Less than a week left in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I just discovered the amazing home section. I guess I was living under a rock – better late than never! I’ve already found a handful of things I’m convinced I need… just don’t tell my husband. 😉 Continue reading
We are so excited to have a big backyard but since we’ve moved in it’s been a work in progress. We have all kinds of visions and ideas on how to transform the space… a big thing for us is outdoor living. Because we’re in southern California we have pretty good weather all year round and want to be able to really enjoy that. We’re taking ideas from our favorite place The Parker Palm Springs and trying to make them our own. I keep finding things I want to add, or find more affordable versions of so I’m pulling them all out for some #backyardgoals.
When we were looking at houses there were certain things on my must list and a white kitchen was one of them. I was looking for a finished one right off the bat, but Jeff was hoping to find one we’d be able to customize just the way we liked. Guess who won that battle? Ha! In the long run I’m so glad we got to pick and choose exactly what we wanted.
We did a lot; changed floors, backsplash, cabinet and wall color, light fixtures and hardware. We also added a wine fridge, thanks to our parents. But decided to leave the counter tops and island color and are loving how it gives it a fun pop. I’m so happy we went with house we did and now, after six months, I’m excited to share some before and after photos of our now white kitchen.
Happy Friday! I’m so excited to have a lazy weekend and tackle some house projects that have been looming over us for awhile now. Like hopefully hanging this chair!
But before we dive into that I wanted to share a house photo. This is the living room section of our great room. When we bought the house this was actually a bedroom, but we wanted a big open room so we knocked the (load bearing) wall down and opened it up. We are still waiting on a built-in to go inside the old closet.
