Happy Independence Day! Let's all holler back the existent argue for this vacation as well as live thankful for the freedoms that nosotros have. Remember what our flag stands for as well as the proper ways to accolade it. And lastly, never forget the men as well as women who receive got as well as nevertheless pay the ultimate sacrifice for our country, my hubby included. God bless them all as well as ever decease along them inward your prayers! I am proud to live a armed forces husband to someone who selflessly gives their life for their country. And I am nevertheless proud to wing the flag as well as to live an American.
Today, every bit I was setting our dining room table… I idea almost how much my agency has evolved. So I wanted to instruct dorsum inward fourth dimension as well as accept a await at a few dissimilar dining rooms that nosotros receive got had inward dissimilar houses. I idea it would live a fun agency to compare how much I've grown into my ain style. When I get-go started writing this blog, nosotros were inward Minot, North Dakota. Why not, Minot?! I went through many agency changes inward that trouble solid generally because I hated the house. Looking dorsum now, I had decent bones to piece of occupation with, too the pinkish kitchen… but here's what it looked similar correct earlier nosotros moved as well as earlier I changed my weblog name! It's the alone decent photograph that I could detect but the tabular array as well as chairs were yardsale finds every bit was the entryway table, drape as well as chair. The corner hutch was inward the household unit of measurement for years. Other than that, that dining room was done on a shoe string budget as well as nevertheless looked beachy/cottage-y fifty-fifty inward the tundra of North Dakota.
Then, nosotros got orders to Florida as well as moved into a rental domicile off of base. It was large for us as well as had a lot of wasted space. So, naturally, nosotros but kept purchasing stuff to fill upwards the domicile upwards when this genuinely made it genuinely difficult for us to downsize ane time nosotros bought the domicile nosotros are currently in. We went from almost 2,000 sq ft downwards to barely 1275 sq ft. But I LOVE our trouble solid at nowadays as well as wouldn't merchandise it for the world. And to live quite honest, I'm genuinely glad nosotros had to downsize because to a greater extent than than one-half the stuff nosotros had, nosotros didn't genuinely ask or didn't serve a purpose. And I'm all almost functionality as well as existence intentionally. There's nothing intentionally almost a slice of article of furniture that but takes upwards wall space. I desire spaces to receive got purpose as well as to live able to live lived in. In that house, I obsessed a lot almost keeping everything build clean as well as would constantly live picking up/cleaning. In this house, I'm finding the beauty inward the chaos.
Towards the end, it was pretty simplistic as well as basic. I constitute myself evolving towards a to a greater extent than natural as well as neutral palette rather than a bunch of colors.
We sold that beautiful trestle tabular array to a reader off of the blog… it was SUCH a pretty table! But it was too large for our infinite as well as quite frankly, nosotros didn't utilisation it every bit much every bit I idea nosotros would. I used to take away heed people state that circular tables were ameliorate for families because it brings you lot closer… ;)
All of those things higher upwards the cabinets were bought but for that, to live higher upwards the cabinets. Well, that was featherbrained right? Maybe non featherbrained because it worked for that trouble solid but inward this house, nosotros receive got 42" cabinets that instruct all the agency to the ceiling thence I sold off all of my plates along amongst the shabby cabinet, the barstools as well as another furniture.
Enter OUR home. Yes, our home. We purchased this domicile inward September of terminal twelvemonth as well as I can't believe nosotros are good on our agency to existence hither a twelvemonth already! So here's the one-time trestle tabular array when nosotros get-go moved in, inward our space. I right away took the chandelier they had downwards because I was eyeing novel ones. It was beautiful! But really, too large for this type of space.
So, instruct inward my newer-older tabular array I constitute through a friend. And as well as thence I went out as well as purchased my novel chandelier as well as the novel Ikea slipcovered chairs. It was taking cast but something I didn't like. It wasn't until afterward nosotros got our novel couches inward a low-cal sandy beige that I knew, what I genuinely wanted as well as had inward my caput was a to a greater extent than linen slipcover.
So, today hither is what everything looks similar now. The closet volition ever stay…I don't intend that I volition ever instruct rid of that piece. I dearest it, practically stole it as well as it has followed us since the terminal house.
I purchased the novel dining room tabular array off of Craigslist as well as used my one-time Ikea chairs amongst novel slipcovers. We also don't receive got a carpeting inward hither correct at nowadays because ane of our dogs got sick on the other one. Jute as well as sisal don't build clean really good unfortunately which left a stain on it permanently. I am currently searching for our perfect carpeting inward hither as well as sadly, I am nevertheless drawn to an 8ft circular jute rug. I dearest the texture that it brings as well as the warmth.
These slipcovers were precisely what I had inward my head. They necktie upwards the dorsum as well as receive got a linen, drib stuff material. I adore them. The wrinkles ask to autumn out or thence to a greater extent than or I ask to instruct a ameliorate iron. Probably both… but I am nevertheless enjoying them anyways!
Overall, I am ever pleased to grow every bit a somebody as well as detect my agency inward our homes. It's never felt to a greater extent than similar domicile until nosotros got to this trouble solid because WE are doing all the work, WE are finding the grapheme as well as finding the beauty inward chaos. I am genuinely trying to relish the procedure as well as am *trying* to holler back that everything does non conduct identify over black or "Rome was non built inward a day" every bit my mama would say.
Now come upwards drink sugariness tea amongst me as well as let's speak almost life.
