Tangent Tuesday - home again, home again, jiggity jig

Tangent Tuesday :)

On this beautiful (and freeeezing) Tuesday I'm going to go on a little tangent from my posts about my wonderful DIY wedding and talk about what's going on NOW!  Back in June my incredible husband and I purchased our very first house (yay!) and we're in the middle of a daunting, exciting, pricey, time-consuming, and mostly fantastic new project of renovating and decorating our new home!

sold!  one of my favorite days :)

As you can imagine there have been LOTS of projects and changes going on since then, and I can't wait to start sharing them!  My plan is to finish up the wedding posts first, but I couldn't help but share a little tease about the big changes going on around here!  Removing 45-year-old carpet, painting, re-doing hardwood floors, tearing down plaster, hanging drywall, sanding, hanging trim, and so many other small projects along the way!  I am so excited about how everything is coming along and I've learned that there is nothing more exciting than walking in the door and feeling completely comfortable and peaceful in your surroundings.  

Since this is my first time owning a home I have never before had the experience of picking out paint colors with no parents watching/guiding my decision - talk about a new sense of freedom!

can you guess what this will become?

yes, the previous owners did decide that this was the best look for the first floor bathroom

no matter what I'm working on, Jobin is right there helping :)

Have you renovated a home?  Please share!  There really is nothing like the feeling you get from transforming an old house into a new home and filling it with memories of your own :)

Tomorrow I'll post about making rick rack flowers in a step-by-step guide, and then it will be time to put everything together for the brooch bouquet!
