The Little Things

Now that we are all moved in, I am noticing that the little things make a big difference. Filling up the refrigerator with food, hanging a picture, buying a kitchen rug. These things are starting to really make this place feel like home. I have to say, I was a little concerned that Jeremy and I may butt heads a bit when it comes to decorating but I have been pleasantly surprised how well we have settled in and put our own mark on this house already.

I can't help but think about all of the rugs, furniture and accessories that we still need and want to buy. We are even turning the office into an office/jam room/Sammy getaway. Sounds conflicting, but it is working out nicely. I will post photos when it is done.

Here are a few items that I have started to scrounge together:

I am finally starting to accumulate some rugs for Sammy to sit on. He didn't waste any time.

One of my favorite ideas for the house is the "Wall of Travel." Jeremy and I have been lucky enough to travel to some really cool places like Peru, Costa Rica, Macedonia, Greece, Cambodia, etc. and I wanted to find a  way to reflect our experiences from abroad. We are printing out photos that we took from all around the world and adding it to the wall. It is the focal point in the living room above the couch. I love the constant reminder that we have been to some amazing places and met some phenomenal people. It is a work in progress and I plan on adding more images as we visit new places (like Thailand in January).

On the list this weekend is putting up the fence in the backyard and power washing the brick on the front of the house. We have had some visitors and house guests already so stop on by anytime!

Adios,
