I can take a deep breath now, I'm home. 98% unpacked (but still looking for a box with my shoes...hmm...) with 100% satisfaction.
Make yourself at home & enjoy!
...& so the tour begins...
* * *
What have I been up to you ask? This. Making this house my home. I'm beyond excited to share this with y'all! A smile is planted on my face every time I pull into the driveway, I need someone to pinch me! I have a happy heart.
The Living Room.
* * *
Wide open spaces.
... & now I'm singing the Dixie Chicks...
The best thing about moving is you have a clean, fresh, new slate to decorate. It is yours. Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy. When I stand in my foyer and look into my living room, my heart skips a beat!
Everything in my living room is a pleasant mixture of what makes me feel home (including Louise, the photo bomber).
The Bar.

...May all who enter as guest, leave as friends...
The importance of entertaining.
Entertaining is still a passion & priority of mine. Whether it is a dinner party, wine date, visit from your grandmother, or an upcoming birthday for your brother (this weekend will be my first shin dig in the new digs!) make every occasion a special one.

Day 2 of moving my grandmother and aunt came for Sunday dinner (good thing I knew which box the good china was in!) My tip? Always be prepared for any visitor.
Porch #2.

"... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world..."
My happy place. Screened in & the perfect spot for morning coffee, or a glass of wine. One look & I was hooked.
The Bedroom.
* * *
Yes, I do make my bed every morning. We can thank my mother for that one.
Again, you never know who might stop by & when (especially after moving into a new house), so making the bed is one less thing you have to worry about!
The Closet.
You never know what you have, until you clean out your closet (or move.)

"I never think about how other people will respond to the way I dress." - Blake Lively
Although my closet is not like Carrie Bradshaw's, I got that same feeling she did when Big revealed her walk in closet on Sex & the City. There is even a dedicated spot for my shoes... ahhh.

"what I love most about my home, is who I share it with"
Maggie & Louise are feeling right at home & are pretty exhausted after days of unpacking (not much help) and exploring their new backyard. Of course they love the screen porch as much as I do, like mother like daughter!
* * *
... ah, there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. Good things take time. So my house will always be a work in progress!
... we are home sweet home, & exhausted...
