Home Sweet Home
Here’s a sneak peek at what our new living room looks like right now:
The trouble with moving into a bigger house is that you have to fill it with more stuff. And it doesn’t help when at the 11th hour of packing up the old place, you decide you don’t need half the things that you own because you’ve always hated it all of it anyway.
Right now we need curtains. And more wall coverings. And a new dining room table – (since the old one couldn’t fit through these old narrow doors). Our one rule this time around? Only buy the things that we love. Sorry IKEA.
These next few months will be spent scouring interior design blogs for fresh ideas and inspiration to make this house into home sweet home. Here’s a few that I know about:
Desire to Inspire (thanks Karen for turning me on to this one!)

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.
