tiny cup of cake

In case you missed the last blog post or Instagram news, Jared and I bought our first home! After we closed, we moved all our stuff up from my parents' house in the Vancouver/Portland area and we've now been in our new house for a little over a week. I got some questions and thought it would be fun to answer them in a blog post. There's not enough room on Instagram stories! What's the room you're most looking forward to decorating? I'm most excited for my home office! I'm indecisive with most home decor however I made up my mind on how I wanted my office pretty soon after we put an offer on our house.

It feels like a big project that we're starting, despite it not being a home reno (I'll share more about the house in a future post). The Backstory I've moved 9 times in the last decade, which is less than ideal... Moving that often, it was hard to find the motivation to invest the energy and resources into making a space feel like home. The problem is that I'm a homebody and my environment affects me greatly. Living in spaces that didn't quite feel like home was okay the last few years, since I shared my space with Jared. Home is very much who you share it with - but I was still wishing for a space to call our own. Also, I've learned over the last few years that I'm just not cut out for apartment life haha. I won't miss sharing walls with others and as much … [Read more...]
