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.

We’re not really “living” in the house yet. We’re in the middle of a full renovation and have been camping glamping in our master suite for the past month plus. All of our belongings except for a few bedroom pieces are stored away and our house is a dusty, concrete mess.

Hopefully we will be done with the renos in the next month or so. I miss my stuff and having a normal life… not to mention a husband who isn’t consumed by projects! Fingers crossed it’s sooner than later.

Because this is like the most glamorous post I’ve ever written (ha), I wanted to share some decor inspiration too.

I’ll be sharing more of this process as we make more progress. Thank you so much for reading and following this fun new chapter.

Over the last year I’ve become completely infatuated with all things copper. This is obviously carried over from my love of rose gold jewelry. However, my home has turned into a copper cave, (evidence below) but I’m not complaining. Recently I went a little crazy in the Threshold section of Target and snapped up all the copper bar ware I could carry.

These puppies are finally online and are too good to pass up (cocktail shaker, pitcher, ice bucket and tongs, serving tray).Use the code HOME10 until 11/8 for 10% off purchases of $50 or more.

I’ve also found more copper housewares below.

I’m excited to share some more details from our house, I first showed a glimpse shortly after we first moved in. It seems like even though it’s been over six months since we moved, we’re still doing projects and getting settled. We recently made over our patio and I’ll share those details soon. For now, check out the house and let me know what you think.

The uber coveted Threshold bar cart has returned to Target. I have this bar cart in my home (seen here) and get so many compliments on it. Last time it was in stores it pretty much flew off shelves and I’m sure it will again! Bonus? If you order it online it comes in a huge box already assembled – and you don’t have to worry about it fitting in your car.

As our house comes together more I’ll share more pictures. But for now, here’s a sneak peak at some details that have fallen into place.

I have been obsessing over bar carts for a couple of years now. Last year I purchased one identical to this one on amazon. Since I’m moving to a bigger place I decided it was time for a bigger bar cart and am upgrading to this one from Target. I just ordered it and had to share because it’s on major sale. Originally $129, marked down to $116 with an additional 15% off. Too good!

ps – I have plans to keep my old bar cart and put it in the guest room as a night stand. I’ll keep you posted!
