Forget unpacking! I needed some pretty things in my empty space. I toted Carter to Michael's and got a little crazy in the white & green flower sections.
Try as we may, Carter just can't get a hang of the word Pretty. Unless ... he doesn't think these are pretty?
I'm still on a daily mission to get new rugs, curtains, side tables and whatever else pops out and asks me to bring it home. It's not easy with a low no patience Carter pattering destructively around the stores. I shouldn't really complain though, he listens really well in public. It's only a matter of time until he realizes that not listening is on his list of options.
We have a hurricane on its way tonight; it's even cloudy and windy right now. Luckily, we're near the center of the state, so it won't hit our brand new, justbuiltfiveminutesago house too hard. I hope.
Very pretty! You're doing much better than I. We have been in our new house for nearly 4 months and I've got nothing up on the walls. I've painted one room and I just lost steam after 4 coats. What you said before about feeling like you're house sitting? That is EXACTLY how I feel!
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for the real owners of this house to come home and boot us out. I feel like it's just too nice for us. It doesn't feel like home yet. I wonder when it will happen!
Be safe through the storm!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be facing the same problem very soon-- we're buying a house now! Only problem I have is once we pay closing costs and such-- we're not going to have much left for decorating... I will have to get creative lol.
Be safe with the storm!! Love the decorations you're giving me some good ideas when we buy a house :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful so far!!! Stay safe this weekend and I hope that your family and beautiful home remain unscathed!!!
ReplyDeleteoo00h I'm loving green and white stuff at the moment too. But yours are way better than my Ikea attempted decorations. lol. Is a hurricane the same as a cyclone? It looks huge! Hope it downgrades to just a mild storm when it hits your beautiful home. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteYour house is absolutely beautiful. And I love your decor. Praying your family and home are safe through the storm. You are so inspiring. You are what motivated me to start my own blog. If you have a minute. Check it out - cheers!
ReplyDeleteWow pretty love your flower arrangements! the rocks in the vases are so awesome! I can tell your house is going to be so stylish! Are you going for a shabby chic look!! It reminds me of shabby chic...love it Target actually has a line called shabby chic...with side tables, bedding, curtains and everything. Just an idea, if you are going for that look. Plus you can't beat the prices!
ReplyDeleteha, should edit my comment!! I should have put questions marks not explanation marks....anyway Stay safe!!!!!! P.S. Target has more selection online in the shabby chic line.

ReplyDelete@mandeeking746 thanks mandee!
ReplyDelete@Melissa yep we're in the same situation, closing costs wiped us out. i'm desperately wanting all new furniture & rugs, but we're going to have to just buy it all gradually over the years
ReplyDelete@molly i'm decorating pretty slowly too -- i feel like everything has to be perfect, which makes it extra hard for me to make decisions :P congratulations on your new house, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you decorated your house using flowers. It makes it looks lively and blends well with your wall color.
