moving in .. slowly:

June 25, 2013


Well, we've been moving in very slowly... I mean, really slow! Our neighbors keep asking us if we're all moved in and we just tell them, not quite. Although I guess it's been a couple months now so normal people would be moved in. But we are not people with normal schedules ;) We didn't bring a ton of furniture over with us so we've slowly been acquiring pieces to add to the house - that has been a blast! We have so much space we don't know what to do with it all :) Here are a few snapshots from around here:




I especially love our built in bookcase. Our house was built in 1939 so these are OG!

My mom made this blanket for me. I saw this cool pattern in a book and so she made it with the colors I asked for (yellow of course) she added the other colors and said each crochet triangle was made with love ;) It was a lot of triangles!




I have a little collection of universe/space books/globes going because I LOVE space stuff. Though I could probably never travel to space because I get motion sick really easily, it would be pretty amazing. The galaxy is so fascinating, don't you agree?


21 hello's:

  1. Love it all - even if you're still moving in you can definitely see it coming together... Love that built-in bookcase!

  5. I think taking the time to move in to a new place is actually really nice! Because you have all the time to decorate and slowly grow more accustomed to it! I really like the blanket (it must have taken a lot of time!) and where the polariods are placed in the first picture is really cool too! It's the first time I've seen something like it :D

  9. I know what you're talking about :D I finally unpacked all the boxes, but a lot of the stuff are still lying around or in the wrong places. Good luck. I love the tiered baskets on your desk.

  11. Love this. The colour scheme looks awesome! Are you getting most of your furniture from antique sales and stuff like that?
