Welcome to my new home...
 |
| I put the flowers out right away, the front door needs a little updating, but it'll do for now. |
Come on in!

| pretty empty |
Look right

| cringe! |
Look left
 |
| ugh. |
I wish you could stick a "recently moved in" sign on the lawn.
So the UPS guy doesn't think he needs to call CPS.
A little cleaning, some expert mashing of craft supplies into the craft closet and the living room is tidy.

| the blonde children blend in well |
The dining room is getting there. It's the one place we've been stashing art and miscellaneous stuff as we get settled. But it's nice to have the table and buffet tidy.

The actual entryway is still empty. We're starting the "real" decorating here (different from the moving-in-and-getting-used-to-the-spaces decorating that is happening all over our house). I've been collecting ideas for a little while. The loose theme is honeysuckle and grey. A little girly, but I decided that I needed one little space of pretty in this house boys.
The starting list of changes:
Wall paint - grey
Paint antique vanity (and unearth the mirror) - honeysuckle
Hang art - LOTS!
Find a rug - something to bridge the reddish tones of the floor and the pink of my accents
New light fixture - maybe hack something from the Restore?
Thanks for touring with me :)

It's always fun, but so intimidating, to start from scratch! Have fun decorating.
Your entry is gorgeous, and the rest will come! One -- ONE -- thing at a time :)
What an inviting entranceway! Love the plants.
Your front door is so welcoming - especially for having just moved in! I am impressed. (and I love your dining room furniture!)
Oh man, the little guy is adorable. The front door looks amazing, I love the pineapples.
And you are a fast mover in. We just moved in a year ago and I'm STILL getting things settled.
I laughed when I saw the Lowe's box. We moved this summer too and still have lots of those boxes to unpack. I think you're doing great! I love your pineapples on the front porch!
It will be beautiful soon. It already looks pretty good!
I love this- thank you for posting the befores! It always makes me feel better knowing that everyone has "before" moments!

Looka like you"re gettng settled!
I love the idea of the old vanity painted honeysuckle :)
I love your new digs! You'll get it all done, one thing at a time, and it will be fabulous!
Thanks for being so sweet and stopping by my blog and leaving such a kind comment. I appreciate you so much! We do have to post some weekly pics, and I think I will!
Lucky you to have a new home to decorate. You are really making progress with your unpacking. I look forward to seeing progress with the changes you plan to make.
What "cringe??" I think you mean GLORIOUS BLANK SLATE with endless potential! So fun.
P.S. What is this iron you speak of? Is that related to my throw it in the dryer with a wet washcloth method? ;)
