Over the last month I've gotten everything unpacked and have kind of started decorating things. It's a work in progress of course but this is the fastest I've ever unpacked before so I'm feeling pretty good! It usually takes me a good six months to get the final few boxes unpacked and then another six months to a year to get the house decorated. This time I was unpacked in under a month and we're about halfway done with decorating. Woot! Woot! I guess it has helped that I'm not pregnant/have a brand new baby {We moved two times while I was pregnant with Holland and then again less than a month after her birth--ridiculous!}. I just wanted to post a few pictures of our new place. It's nothing fancy but we are really loving our new apartment and making it feel like home!
I have a couple more decorating projects I want to get done but I am trying to make a trip down to IKEA first so it might be a while before things are finished. I'll post more pictures whenever that actually happens though!

Aprons made by my mom, aunt, and grandma. {We LOVE these aprons for art projects and eating and just wearing around the house!}
I spent a good hour+ decorating our fridge with contact paper one of the first nights after we moved in. Race got a good laugh out of the fact that I got so distracted by this pretty, but definitely not top priority, project. He was super nice about it and helped me finish it up and I love it! I'm thinking of switching it out for some chalkboard contact paper but we shall see. I'm enjoying the bright green! {Crate from Michael's, white basket from Target $1 section, contact paper from WalMart}
We only have two drawers in our whole kitchen {ridiculous!} so these
little containers are our new "junk drawers"!
I love your fridge! I have never seen that done before, what a great idea! Your whole house is lovely, You are a fabulous decorator!
ReplyDeleteI saw it on Pinterest or something and I just LOVE it! And thank you! I am having a lot of fun decorating this time around! Also, you have posted some of the cutest home projects on Facebook! YOU are a fabulous decorator/thrifter/furniture re-doer!
DeleteYou are so cute!! I'm TOTALLY stealing your contact paper idea for our fridge!
ReplyDeleteYou totally should! And I want to see pictures afterwards! I got the idea from Pinterest or something. Haha. It definitely brightens up our little kitchen!
DeleteI have similar priorities when we move. Except unfortunately I had to contact paper the inside of our cabinets because they were gross exposed pressboard! Your place is so cute! I still have a couple of boxes unpacked and I will probably never hang the last few frames. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm in a house and only have two drawers in my kitchen too! So lame. You should show a pic of your whole fridge, it's too awesome not to! Haha
