Well, if I’ve been a little absent recently I have a good excuse… we finally closed on our new home!
This past weekend was extremely hectic with all of the movers and unpacking boxes, but I took a couple minutes to snap some photos (yeah, don’t judge me on the quality and color).
So come take a quick tour…
The house is looking pretty stark, but I’m gearing up to pick out paint colors and textiles. Yeah, that’s when the real fun really begins!
The rug for the dining room is just so our chairs don’t scratch the floors. It’s a little small for the space and I wanted something a little brighter. Stay tuned… some more details coming about this space later this week!
Uh… can you tell I have no clue what I’m doing with this room yet?
And my absolute favorite space in the home… the kitchen!
I’ll be going into more detail about this room next week.
Our breakfast room with the butler’s pantry and desk area.
Unfortunately I don’t get my new kitchen table until mid January since it’s on backorder.
Yeah, haven’t gotten around to putting together our bed yet, or hanging our chandelier.
The princess’ bedroom.
Just wait until you see the plans we have in store for this space!
And that would be my craft room. I’m really going to miss my old digs, but I can’t wait to see how this room unfolds into my creative space.
_____________________________________________
So as you can see we have a bunch of boxes unpacked, but still a lot to do to make this place feel like home! First up on my list is painting a room or two just to add a bit of color in the house.

Emily @ My Love for Words says
Gorgeous! Though I will be repeating, “You will not be jealous of her kitchen. You will not be jealous of her kitchen” quietly to myself for the next few minutes. Keeping my fingers crossed it actually works! 🙂

Haha, you’re too funny Emily!
Carla says
Can’t wait to see what you do with the blank canvas. Wow all the rooms look very spacious. Very Very nice

Thanks Sarah! I actually purchased the dining room table and sideboard from Ezekiel and Stearns. They are SUPER affordable and LOVE the quality!! They are from my hometown but can ship anywhere 😉
Rosie says
Hi there, found your blog through Pinterest. Can you give me details about your kitchen tiles? What are they, and are you happy with it?

The flooring is actually vinyl. Here is a link to the product: http://www.mannington.com/Residential/Sobella/Sobella%20Supreme/Cambridge/ALT702.aspx

Thank You.
