Moving Day

Lots of big and exciting changes are in store for this little apple. I'm kicking the dust off my Lexington roots and moving all the way to Louisville (for those not familiar with the geography, it's only an hour west of where I live now). My boyfriend and I have bought a house! Its in a great neighborhood; close to a lot of local restaurants, shops, and downtown. I sound like I'm on an episode House Hunters, but it really is the perfect little home. I am beyond excited to be starting my life with him, and to decorate the crap out it! So be prepared for lots of 'before' and 'after' shots, DIY projects, and wish lists. So cross your fingers the late August humidity doesn't get the best of me while I move! I can't wait to share my new adventures in a new city! Have a great holiday weekend!

It's Official!

We've found a place to live!  If all goes according to plan we hope to be moved in by the first week of September. Since leaving my college dorm room I have spent the past 7 years living in apartments; I can't tell you how happy I am to finally be living in a house! We're not quite ready to own a house, but renting one suits us just fine. Besides, who wants to mow the yard and fix leaky faucets when you have a landlord to do those things? Last night, after dropping off the final paperwork and picking up the keys on the drive home, I let my mind wander to all the decorating I want to do...

A fun light fixture over the dining room table, perhaps? Keeping our white bathroom clean and stylish. Setting up a desk near the window in the second bedroom, and some sort of chalkboard element in the kitchen.
