We are finally making some progress on moving in, and making our house a home. This past weekend, we schlepped it up to IKEA and some vintage furniture stores to make some purchases. We came away with some success - bookcase, rugs, curtains, and my favorite thing - a Scottie dog bust. Because who doesn't need a bust of a cute dog sitting in their living room?! Henry was an actual edible delight all of Saturday, just grinning and smiling away as we sped through the stores. I just find lately when I'm with Henry all I want to do is give him a
bajillion kisses on his fat cheeks. Lucky for me, he thinks it's funny
and will indulge me in my affections.
So - I've been trying to round up inspiration for the house on
Pinterest, and I'm hoping to have a lot more done by the end of the month. I have big plans for a container garden on our patio, and we're on the hunt for a good desk for the office. And I'm trolling ebay and etsy for a nice rug for the living room. If you have any good sources for finding interesting homewares, I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

oh ikea. what can I say about you. In VA, at your ikea, there were dressers and furniture galore in the As Is section (read: cheaper and already assembled). Dozens to choose from! I optimistically set out to get a dresser from the one here, but our As Is section looks like its been ravaged by vicious black friday shoppers EVERY day. There is hardly a bookcase to be found. Trust me I went twice last week and once this week. SEND ME AN IKEA DRESSER
I could Just kiss that little face all day too! He is precious!!! Your new home sounds lovely. Miss you, girly!
Julie I made custom roman shades for that kitchen and then I kept them thinking I would use the fabric. And now I feel guilty. If you want them I will ship them to you, no joke. They are really cute. And they are made to fit those 3 windows in the kitchen. It is such a trip to watch your blog and see you guys in that house. It is total dejavu! We moved into that house when Tenny was 8 months old so seeing pictures of little Henry sitting on those wooden floors just takes me back...
