Home Sweet Home.....(Via Made By Girl)

Hope everyone had a great weekend & thanks so much for the well wishes! My weekend was FULL of packing, lifting boxes and ACHES & pains all over my legs from walking back and forth so much during this move. Guess what?? we STILL aren't done! We have a few items to bring over & awaiting delivery of a few more things I've ordered online. 

Moving is all SO exciting & overwhelming at the same time.  It's my 2nd day at the new place & I still don't have an internet connection...the cable companies never seem to get things right the first time, I swear! 

Let me know when you think so far....

I'm posting this from another location so that I could update you all as to what is going on.  Below are some pics of what has been done so far, we still have lots of unpacking to do, but managed to get some lighting up!  I bought the Atoll mirror from Ballard Designs, a Barcelona Daybed (in white, yikes!) and this dining table from ZGallerie, but they haven't arrived yet....will take more pics when it's all here.

above: The painting on the wall was done by an artist friend I commissioned, it is NOT an original!!!  

The lamp to the right is by Philippe Starck....I love these floors!

above: Here's the DIY lamp we made, it's hanging high up in the foyer.

above: stuff still not put away or hung

above: kitchen with the Hicks Pendant lighting, the ceiling in this place is quite high, can you tell?
The cabinets doors will be changed out before the end of the year. They'll be ALL WHITE....thank God!!!

The chairs will be painted white soon, can't stand how they look in light blue within this space.
The artwork on the wall is by Sister Corita called: "Happy Collage".

Movin'....(Via Made By Girl)

Sooo, it looks like I'll be moving in a couple days & I'm looking forward to talking more about it soon (and posting pics).  I'll still be in the same state, just a different neighborhood. So, of course I've been decorating every room in my head....& it's a bit overwhelming at times. 


The bedroom is one of the rooms that MUST be done first, so this is what I had in mind.  I KNOW I also need a dresser of some sort, but what should I get?? I kind of like a more ornate style dresser (all white), but would ornate work with these side tables/night stands?? Hmmm, I'll have to keep looking around ....

I can't wait to show you more....!!
