With the new home and our baby girl's due date fast approaching, change is all around us. It was quite apparent that after two baby showers, A's stuff was taking over our house. It is heart warming to see her precious things filling our home.
These two outfits were little gifts from my mom. I don't know why, but they are my FAVORITE! The white one is just so petite and dainty! I can't wait to put my little angel in that sweet outfit! And the Polo outfit is SO cute. Having a husband that lives in Polos, it couldn't be more appropriate. She will be her daddy's daughter.
We are still waiting on A's furniture to arrive so her room is starting to form piles. Can't wait to get everything organized.
I can't wait to change from my purse to this diaper bag. I seriously love it!
Hubby spent a lot of time last weekend putting together the bassinet, stroller, and other baby gifts. He basically spent Sunday in front of the TV watching football and constructing baby stuff.
That living room is all about change. The WHOLE thing is changing...new pillows, new side tables, new coffee table, new rug...the only thing staying from that picture is the couch and the husband.
We have a lot of home changes in the works. I don't know what I would do without my mom and her friend/business partner Jana. They are interior decorators and are so good at what they do. And I'm not going to lie, it's a pretty awesome job for your mom to have. There are quite a few perks! So when we started the process of a buying a home and everything that goes with it, we had some decorative decisions to make. The main thing I had to decide was "do I change a little of each room or do one room at a time but finish it completely"? I decided to do one room at a time, but completely finish it. We are starting with the living room/kitchen area.
First thing is we are getting rid of this hideous light fixture above the kitchen table. No offense if that's your look, but it's not me. I want a fun, bright look. So we are changing from the light fixture on the left to the round white fixture on the right. It still has the plastic wrap on it so it looks shiny.
We are totally changing the colors in our home. When we lived in the apartment we had all earth tones and it was a darker, warmer feel. Now I want my furniture and accessories to be a much brighter feel. So our colors are changing from warm earth tones to lots of whites, creams, apple greens, and aqua. We are having the kitchen chairs recovered with this green fabric.
We are having some pillows made to go with our new oatmeal colored couch. LOVE these fabrics!
And then this rug will go in the living room. We are also having an big ottoman made and moving the bulky coffee table to a front room. I think we are also going to have some leather chairs made to complete the room. I'm so excited about this whole process. I've never had a home to decorate before! And as "nesting" mode takes full affect, it feels so good to have a plan for our family area.
With that said, there are still four other rooms in our house (front living room, dining room, study, and third bedroom) that are COMPLETELY empty. And they will remain so for quite some time. LOL. Not sure what room will be next but it will probably have to wait until after the baby is born.
This is what you see when you walk into my house.
Front living room and dining room. It is quite a sad scene.
So much change going on and have to say thank you to my precious husband for letting me do so much for our home. I know he could really care less if the house stayed empty or if we sat on lawn furniture so it means a lot to me that he is letting me fix things up how I want it. The routine conversation in our house goes something like:
Hubby: "I just closed a new client"
Me: "Oh good, that means we can buy _____ for the house"
He is such a hard worker and giving husband. Thanks babe for making our house a home!
And HUGE shout out to my mom and Jana. Y'all are amazing at what you do and I could never say thank you enough. What would I do without "the moms"?!
