Big News!

Sorry for the silence around here. To say things have been crazy is an understatement. I've been super busy with clients and jobs (which is wonderful, don't get me wrong) and we put our house on the market 2 weeks ago. And we got a contract in 24 hours. Which is also wonderful, but now has me scrambling to find out where we are going to live.

The fun and exciting news is that we are building again and I plan to post lots of updates on this here blog about what's gonna be happening…ideas, design boards, photos, etc. The not-so-exciting news is that we are renting for a year or so while we build. I'm not super stoked about this, but it's what was best for us to do in this situation. Finding a rental home is….interesting. That's an adventure all in itself. Decorating a rental home poses its own set of challenges. Do I store most of our stuff and just go bare minimum? Do I just decorate it as I would any other house? Decisions. Most likely, that house won't be making any appearances on this blog. I have a feeling we will be using the hubby's brown leather reclining sofa and our pots and pans and call it a day.

I have all kinds of emotions about this process. Leaving this house is sad. We built it from nothing, we brought our daughter home to it, she's crawled, walked, and run in it. It's the only home she's known. But I also want her to realize that change is a part of life. Even big, scary changes. And knowing her, these next 2 houses will be home to her as well.

So now that I've made myself cry at 9 am, here are a few photos I've gathered as a little inspiration. I'm calling it Modern European. A little French, a little English, a little farmhouse, a little American (as in huge closets). Hold on to your hats folks…building a house is a bumpy ride.

Yep. This range is happening.






You get it, right?
