We are supposed to get the keys to our home this Friday, as in tomorrow!!!

Ahh it’s so close I can hardly believe it!

I have been dreaming of this day for a long, long time. Alex and I have lived in many tiny apartments and with many different roommates the past 6 years. Truly, I don’t think Alex cares very much about moving into our own place, I think he would actually prefer to continue living with roommates (he thrives in chaos), but I am craving S P A C E. Space to spread out, space to store things, space to be alone, but mostly space to create a place that feels like home to me.

Now that I can really start getting into decorating, here are the first of the vision boards that I have created for our home decor inspiration. I wan’t to keep our home light, bright, and airy with mainly whites, grays, and neutrals. I love the contrast of black accents and the sophistication of a dusty blue. I also love gold details but I want to mix it with other metals as well. We are being very purposeful of what we are buying and choosing for our house as we really want to love the finished product and not waste our money on pieces that we want to replace in a year.

Here is the first decor purchase I made for our home. I love these mirrors and am thinking they will either go in our master bathroom or our entry way. I also bought a few of these scent diffusers as this is my FAVORITE scent on earth and I need to fill my home with it. It’s a light and fruity scent but it also has a complexity to it that makes the scent very luxurious. This scent is actually on sale in a few different forms (candles, diffusers, etc.) here.

Oh and Happy New Year!

WE ARE BUILDING OUR FIRST HOME!!

Ahhh I love saying that. I really still can’t believe it’s real and this is actually my life. As grateful as I am, I am getting SUPER impatient. We started building in April so it has been a good 9 months. We are getting close but there is still a lot to do. We are really hoping we can be in by Christmas but it very well could be January.

Seriously all I do is dream about how I am going to decorate my new house. It’s going to be so fun. I can not even wait. I will share some inspiration and ideas I have on here soon. The only problem is Alex and I have totally opposite styles with pretty much everything. The only thing we can agree upon is marble. We both LOVE marble. But as far as decor goes, I like a more rustic style and Alex has very modern taste. We will have to find some kind of compromise, oooorrrr just see who cares more (me) haha.

My favorite thing about our house is our sliding back door. It lets in so much natural light which was very important to me. Its 4 glass panes and they all slide open. It will be so great for the cooler months when we can open it up and feel a nice breeze, or to create an indoor/outdoor space for parties. I can already picture myself baking in our kitchen with a light-flooded view of our backyard. Ahhhh dreamy ✨✨ I will share all of the finish work (floors, cabinets, etc.) that we have picked out in a later post. I can’t wait to take you all through the process from these bare bones to a finished product.
