So excited to reveal our living room today! Our living room is about 80% completed. Still need to figure out what to put on left and right side of fireplace...bookcase perhaps? I am an indecisive person, I switch out the decor every other day! (Hubby loves it! ha!) Here is the before: day of the walk through So thankful for my husband for making our house more homier. Always putting up with my crazy ideas.  Here is the after photo! What a difference a new coat of paint can do to a room. Our old coffee table was too low.... We have extra Ikea Lack tables so we are temporary using it as a coffee table until we get new one. Scored Nate Berkus decorative pillows at Target for just little over $7! I love a good deal! Still need something around this area, not sure yet..possible some frames. And there you have it, the reveal of our living room! Thank you so much for stopping by.  Still many more rooms to reveal, stay tuned! ...

Hope you had a great Easter weekend! Here's some photos of Kaylee that I shot last week. Love this last photo of K. She is so good with putting her toys away after she's done playing. She know that mommy does not like it when the room is filled with toys and things being unorganized. The weather is simply beautiful and we can't get enough of the Vitamin D. Have a great rest of the week!

I can not believe it has been exactly one month since our family closed on our new place. Since then, we have painted our house and moved everything from my brother's house to our new home. They generously let us stay with them while we were looking for a house. I am very proud of us for having done a lot to the house within one month of living there. I am very exciting that we have more space in this new home, that gives me more room to expand my creativity. I was on Pinterest (here is my home board) or on Houzz everyday looking for bright ideas and inspiration. For me personally it a great feeling to have a clean slate to work from and a blank canvas to let my imagination go free. Here is a glimpse of the decorations. The paint colors for Den is SW 7016 Mindful Gray and family room is SW 7663 Monorail Silver Chairs from Target Pillows Ikea Beautiful orchids my girlfriend sent me on closing day. The den aka my office on the right side when you first walk int...

I can not believe it has been months since the last time I blogged. Life has been crazy busy and to be honest, I just couldn't fine the time with my old job. I enjoy blogging but it's definitely time consuming. We just bought a new house so I can not wait to blog about the decorating process and of course, on little miss K too! Few updates: 1. Hubby got a job in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (my hometown) back in  Fall 2013 so we decided it was time to leave Virginia. 2. I left my job as Web Graphic Designer for Dollar Tree Corporation without a job lined up. 3. Hubby took K with him in September so I can stay back to get our home rented and prepare for the move. It was longest 3 months without them!  Thank goodness for FaceTime! 4. Landed a job 3 weeks before the move. #nolongerjobless #happydance #idkwhyimhashtagging 5. Bought a new house and we are over the moon about it! 6. Kaylee turned 3! already?! Here are the photos of our current home. The furnitures are not ou...
