08: Living Room Storyboard

Our builder finally set our possession date, July 25th! It's been a whirlwind few months and I am eager to settle down in the new house. 

Yesterday my goodies arrived from Pottery Barn. I tired my hardest to not open them, wanting to keep them boxed for the move but I just had to peek! I ordered the Carter console and side table, which I had been swooning over for a while now. 

Below is my living story board. The majority of these items have already been purchased but are unfortunately sitting boxed in my current living room (at least my son thinks they are awesome new toys to climb on).

07: An unexpected hiatus

I am back! Can you believe what a long hiatus I took from blogging? I can't! I do have a good excuse for disappearing so suddenly, in case you were wondering. My hiatus started with returning to work and continued as we found out that we were pregnant with our 2nd child. It ended with me going on maternity leave and purchasing our 1st house!

I also stopped blogging because I was becoming increasingly discouraged of DIY'in a rented house; My ideas were becoming monotonous. After all, how many changes can you TRULY make to a house that you don't own? That is why I am excited to be moving into our new home!

Here is the floor plan along with some pictures from my design board, which were an inspiration for my interior design. I've already purchased some of the larger pieces of furniture (pictured) for our house.

Stay tuned as I blog about designing each room... This is going to be very exciting!
