Let’s Get This Party Started!
I may not have been overly excited about moving (it’s SO MUCH WORK!!) But, I have to admit that decorating our new house is SO MUCH FUN!! PARTY time! I am truly having a blast! I have an entire house; an entire blank canvas to decorate. I am bringing together items from our old house in California and mixing in new items. I’m mixing antiques and modern. I’ve told you before I have very eclectic tastes. I love mixing things that don’t seem to go together. Silver and gold. Framed photographs and unframed canvases. I love mixing the antiques that were handed down from my Grandparents to sleek new things.…

Living In Two Houses!
Y’all remember how I’ve had so many months to pack for this move? Well, I’ve learned a lot. Number one. I am a HORRIBLE packer. I am 100% the shining example of what NOT to do! So basically we are living in two houses. Neither house has enough to really ‘live in’. Boxes in both house piled high. Marked “kitchen” “master bedroom” blah blah blah……. trust me WRITE every little item down on the box or you WILL be digging in boxes. Pots and pans? Yeah…. who knows!! All I am sure of is that they are in one of those dozens of boxes marked ‘kitchen’ is my favorite coffee cup. …
