It's funny what happens, when you're planning out a new space, especially for something like a little baby. You suddenly feel empowered, as if you're some sort of interior designer, that you know just what's best, to the point that you hope your husband will simply smile and nod in absolute agreement that you've come up with the perfect decorating plan. And so far, all has gone as planned. Colors are picked out, furniture is picked out and waiting to be ordered, little decorations here and there are bookmarked (and pinterest'd).

We are going with Bahaman Sea Blue for the walls, and the other colors, yellow, orange, green are ideas for accent colors in decor and such.

I think we'll be just fine, one day we'll be up to our ears in diapers and giggles, and little squishy fingers and toes and nothing else will really matter.

Our new Crib, yo!

It's been a busy, two weeks.  Full of change and new things. I mentioned all the stuff happening in the last post, so I'll save you the details. Absolutely loving everything, and so happy with all of our decisions. And, fully appreciative of my husband's new interest in decorating. He's built us Ikea furniture, painted hallways, and slaved over a wall decal, and I think he is quite enjoying it. Whenever we mention something else we want to add, whether it may be wall decor, a welcome mat for outside or a tissue box holder, my husband instantly replies with, "Let's check on Etsy." Words no woman would expect to hear, words that made me a proud wife. I love it. 

Living Room, Couches: The Sofa Co, TV Tables: Ikea

Loving our new dining table. (with extra leaf in) seats up to 8!

Our new hallway, thanks Etsy! But a pain in the ass to put up.

From front door. Love the cozyness of living room and energy of dining room.

And to go with the new coffee table, I made some homemade coasters. Loving Mod Podge.  

it's nesting time

Today I saw a bus stop poster that made my day. Anderson Cooper is getting his own talk show. Yep, that's right. He's adorable, intelligent, and we share the same last name, which is okay, except now I cant name my future son Anderson. Jump to 2:25 to make your life that much better.

Trying to find some inspiration for new home decor once we move into the new place -- which by the way is in 2 DAYS!!!!! -- anyway, comment with some links/pics and all sorts of fantastic ideas. First step will be the living room and dining room. I'm having a hard time zoning in on my "style." I really like a modern style, but also funky mismatch pieces, I love color, and something that will be good and comfy with kids also. 

 

Oh yeah, and I'm loving The Nest and I will totally be breaking in our new kitchen with these recipes...every week...do yourself a favor and check them out, they all have chocolate, let me know how they go!
