Well I am! Everly is enjoying a nice long nap so I'm having some quality time with my dying laptop. Who wants to buy me a new one? Any takers?....I didn't think so.
No on to the purpose of this post, a quick look at some fancy home decor choices I've made with our new home. I am by no means an interior decorator and I'm not rich so I can't afford to do everything at one. These are just some pictures of some of my favorite things. Once the house is almost complete I'll post photos of each full room.
This is my favorite pillow, weird I know. But I picked it up at Target and love the way it goes with our furniture downstairs in our living room. We bought our 3 piece leather set off of kijiji (Canadian craigslist expect nicer) for only $350. It's in great condition and pretty comfortable. Next to it is a cheap little bookshelf we purchased from Canadian Tire for $30 just to house my dvd collection until we can thing up something better.
Everly's room is a work in progress. This is a photo of her closet, Mike is planning on putting a nice closet organizer in it and everything, but until then this is what its going to look like. Her closet doors were nasty wood paneled things so I took them up and put up some extra curtains, which I think looks quite cute.
Everly's crib was a hand-me-down from my aunt which has come in handy. We also set up a video monitor which has been a life saver. With my bedroom being on the upper level having Everly down in the basement has been a hard transition. The video monitor makes it a lot easier.
Retro chair alert! This was my great grandfathers. My grandparents were in the process of sending it to the dump and I was in the process of looking for a comfortable rocker for the nursery. It was free so I took it. I will have it reupholstered eventually. Bought the awesome gold cushion at Target and her owl pillow came with her bed set.
I absolutely love Everly's bedroom furniture. I wanted to buy her french provincial bedroom furniture and found this dresser, a desk and a book shelf on kijiji for $75, Its amazing.
I love the hardware
This might be my favorite piece in the house right now. My mom bought this for me at HomeSense. It sits inside our front food and is the home to our keys, Mike's things and Misha's leashes.
I also love the fan's that came with the house. Inside our front door has a big ceiling perfect spot for these two pieces of artwork.
Some fall decor on my fireplace
This is some of my fancy China we registered for when we got married 3 years ago
New lamps from Target. Not sure if I love the shade or not, might buy something plainer.
And our beloved free piano. Got this from friends of Mike's aunt and Uncle.
Well that's a snapshot into our home. It's coming along. But I have to run, Everly has woken from her nap and starting to cry! uh oh!
See you next time!
