Actually moving in- the living space

The process of turning our house into a home was and still is absolutely wonderful. Our house is absolutely precious and I love showing it off. The pictures in no way do it any justice, come see it for yourself!

living room theme- country chic 

coffee table- $25

Kitchen accent color- RED

we FINALLY got the bench in for this table- so it's the 4 chairs pictured here and a 2 seater bench. The table also has a hidden leaf. I searched for-ever to find this piece, I knew exactly what I wanted and didn't want to settle. It also took 2 months to get the bench in from back order

What is funny is how bare these pictures look in comparison to what the house looks like now. I'll upload some more later. (hint- the wine hutch has more wine than a BevMo)

Thanks for stopping by!

Nesting- making our house our home

I've been in our new place for about 2 months now, so it's probably about time I share it with you. :)

Here are some of the pictures of turning our house into our home. 










All the walls were painted and the home was cleaned, thank you all for your hard work!

Planning is fun, Payson is sick

I don't believe we've updated the internet world, but we noticed Payson was pretty sick about a week after we got him. One evening he developed lots of gastrointestinal issues, and after some webmd dog version research, we decided the vet was in our best interest.

Long story short, poor Payson, our little pound puppy, has a parasite, 2 bacterial infections, and 2 viruses- including Distemper, which was our biggest fear.

He's been on meds every 8 hours for roughly the last 2 weeks, which is tough, but he's doing SO MUCH BETTER!

Until last night. He was coughing the entire night. Dustin got about zero sleep, and I was up about every 15 minutes. Poor puppy. So we took him back today to hear that he now has a respiratory infection. Just on a cough suppressant, so not too big of a deal, but he's still coughing so stinkin much!

So that is what is going on in our puppy world- we're ready to have our healthy baby Payson back.

Halloween Payson

Wedding planning is so much fun, and yet it's been so tough with Dustin's new promotion. Until his new shop gets settled, he's working some pretty crazy hours, which has put our venue search on the back burner for about the next week (which is fine because we're still over a year out).

The big thing I've been working on is the bridal party. How tough! I've really been doing some soul searching to figure out who will make up my ultimate team. Good news is I've finally settled on my list, and I'm super excited to officially ask them. Even better news, the goodies I've made for them are absolutely precious- fitting for some of the closest people in my life.

November Wedding Plan Goal- Pick a venue- any suggestions?

p.s. thank you all to those who already sent me your venue ideas! Got some really great ones, our only issue is most of them have a cap at 200, and our invite list is well over that. So keep size in mind with your suggestions :)
