We've now lived in our new apartment for two and a half months and as of this weekend - we are finally moved in! My good friend Paige wanted to celebrate her 25th birthday party with an outdoor dinner party and we were happy to offer our backyard for the occasion. It was such a magical night with some wonderful people:)
The birthday party was the perfect motivation for us to finish a LOT of our house projects - including completely unpacking J's office. I can't describe how amazing it is to see ZERO boxes in that room:) Moving so often in the last couple of years has taught me that having a house is one thing - but having a home is quite another. It's been so fun to watch our little house with a red door become a true haven for us and a great place to share with our friends. That said, here are some of my favorite parts of our home so far.
Living Room: The gallery wall is something I've been wanting to try for awhile and here is my best attempt. We included a yarn-and-nail G (for Ghoman - obvi) that Jesse was sweet enough to do for me. I also included a little watercolor, our wedding invitation and some family photos.
Dining Room: The map is a 1980s version of the world that a family gave us when they were moving - it's aqua and wonderful:) The credenza is one of my favorite pieces in our home. J found it in a dumpster at MIT one night and decided to fix it up. He's seriously ridiculous at finding things like this - he's definitely got a better eye than me!
Bedroom: A month or so after we got married, we ended up in a large antique barn with my mother-in-law. We spotted this mirror and talked the guy down to $40. I'm still in shock that he let us
take it for so cheap! In our last place it hung on the wall adjacent to the bed, but now I love having it above the bed right when you enter. It's quite the statement. Oh and next to the bed is one my favorite quotes by Charlotte Bronte, "Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same." :)
What are your favorite pieces in your home? Tell me about it and share some house-to-home inspiration!
Happy Monday everyone!
