Home update.

Since my last home sneak peak I have gotten a lot of stuff to furnish my home.( Like my dining table she is SO adorbs by the way. And my work table) But they are set up or decorated how Id like just yet. Finding the time or energy when I get home for work is very minimal.So I figured I could just do one room at a time. First up is the living room, I would still like to find a cute cabinet to put my dvd/cable/internet stuffs inside so they are hidden but other then that the room is perfect.

Excuse the horrible grainy I waited to long into the day to take pictures. During the morning the light is perfect. TONS of natural light.
This is the view from my bedroom door. I just love LOVE that white fireplace I am so glad she painted it. Don't get my wrong I love original brick and all but white fits the house and well me better. So she did a good color choice on that.


My mom asked me the other day how long I planned on keeping these up. My answer "Forever! it's my house and I can do whatever I want" She doesn't understand having lights up past christmas.
P.S. You can kind of see my dining table in this picture :)


My pretty vintage suitcases that I scored one day at a local good will for get this $10 I thought it was only one suitcase until I saw the sticker set of three. I was over the moon excited. I couldn't bare to sit them in a closet or under my bed. So they get to me displayed and seen everyday.

I remember reading in the craigslist ad that it had stained glass windows through out the house along with the tub I've dreamed of. I said to myself "I HAVE TO HAVE THIS HOUSE. I called about two times and emailed I didn't want anyone to see this house before me I had to have it.


The giant white blanket is my substitute for a couch cover until I find the perfect white linen one. It's big enough it covers the whole couch.


My pretty very old wingback chairs. And gorgeous white shabby chic coffee table.I still can't believe how pretty she is. And it now has a original Autumn work of art on it. :) It needs to be re painted on the top though there is this misterous yellow stain that I have covered with books.


Pretty new floor lamp. I knew I needed one because there is zero light in the living room at night. But I had no clue what kind of lamp I even wanted. Then last weekend while shopping at this new antique mall my mom told me she found a lamp and wanted to see what I thought. I knew it was perfect the second I laid my eyes on it, and it was a steal to. I've seen replica's of this lamp in lamp stores for a good $300+ I would never spend that much on a lamp. Lets just say it was a good amount under $100 I was very happy with it. :)

Well folks that's my living room. Next I think I am going to conquer my kitchen.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent it with friends and family my little neice turned the big 2! Yesterday I cant believe it they really do grow up so fast. Her and my sister got drum sets for her birthday (well my sisters got herself one for her birthday) Since her birthday is the 26th and Autumn's is the 30th.

Heres a little video of her playing on her birthday she sang while drumming to.




Happy Monday everyone

a sneak peak

Good morning, isn't it just a lovely day!


I feel like Meg ryan in the beginning of you've got mail when she's smelling scotch tape and says "You can't beat that." She's just so bubbly and genuinely happy. I have slept in my new place for two nights now. I thought the first night would be a little scary I've never lived alone before only with room mates. But it was the complete opposite I felt so at home like i've been living here for years. I have felt lately that my life feels like a dream that at any moment I will wake up and say to myself " wow that was the best dream I wish that could be real." But this my life, I feel so blessed and am so thankful. I have dreamed of being at this place for forever it seems. I always felt things just would never work out. I got so frustrated my mom always would tell me " Everything happens for a reason when its your time it will come" And boy was she right. I would always dream in my head of the perfect house, and decorating it in my head dreaming of storing and displaying my pretty pyrex and vintage dish wear. Then last week I came upon a house that had everything on my check list I had been making since my search for a house began. There were somethings I did not like so being typical me I wasn't going to get it because in my head I wanted EVERYTHING on my list. But my mom was very persistent in me sending in a application. So I filled out the rental application to see what would happen, to be honest I wasn't sure if I would get it because I was asking for a two bedroom house all to myself. And through my experience not a lot of people were comfortable with that. But my landlord contacted me the next day and everything fell so seemingly into place it felt like this was all meant to be. I even had all green lights driving to my house to sign the lease (silly but I thought it was kinda cool) The lease got signed and I am in love with my new place to location is perfect it's close to everything I love. All my cute little shops, food, theaters. It's all perfect, every time I wake up I have to say " Wow so this is real" smile to myself and get out of bed to the smell of coffee brewing thanks to those loving timers. "The best part of waking up is starbucks in your cup" I know its folgers but that coffee is icky.

Now on to the good stuff I wanted to show a before/after these photos are before I have decorated or done anything. I wanted to do it before I had boxes or anything in it. But I moved in to fast to get some snap shots in. So without further ado

My kitchen a work in progress. The house is original to the 1927 it was built in but the owner before my landlord re did the kitchen in the 80's. So I'm still trying to figure out how to do this and find my farm table. Yes it will fit I will make it fit.

I hope you enjoyed a little sneak peak into my home. I will show a full tour of the home after I am all moved in and things are put in their places. I also noticed how over the weekend I got some new followers :) thanks for stopping by say a hello sometime.
