our home

We've been making minor changes around these parts lately and I am loving it.  A hung mirror here, a throw pillow there, and our house continues to grow into a home.  Nick's parents will be coming down for the weekend to help us make a few more changes.  We have some light fixtures to install, a kitchen table to put together, and potentially an office to paint.  I'm so excited how everything is coming together!  Here are some snapshots of some new additions :)

"Home sweet home" pillow from HobLob.  

A few mantlepiece additions from HobLob & Target.

Continued :) 

Our dining room with our new china cabinet (from Ikea) & wine cabinet/bar area (from Target).  

Excited to be able to display my KS china (and someday host a dinner party at that!)

And use my fancy monogrammed linens (gifted | Restoration Hardware)

And more than happy to stock even more wine into this little home of ours :) 

And perhaps try out a recipe or two :) 

We're finally back to work this week for a (hopeful) normal/full week which will mean less time for homemaking and more time spent working/tutoring/cleaning/gyming.  I'm very pleased with what we've come up with so far, and I'm even more excited to see how else our home transforms after next weekend.  Of course I'll be sharing updates!
