This House

Just stumbled upon this house on The Selby today. It's the home of Abigail Ahern's in London. I'm loving her home style!

That teal table is amazing, and her little puppy looks like he's thinking about something very significant... 

The Selby is a great source for home and artistic inspiration. If you're not already a fan, you'll become one quick!

DIY Times

Decorating and putting together our house has made me really start looking at home DIY projects like never before. Even things like how to store cans better in your pantry are now helpful to me! (Use a magazine holder) Nolan and I both love to cook, (he's better) and come up with fun ways to have our home be functional while looking good. Its so much fun coming up with ideas together, and it doesn't hurt that he is so handy and can actually accomplish a lot of the ideas we come up with.

Here are some fun homey projects I've found on my web inspiration journeys.

Crock Pot Dinners: So simple, but so great to do and have. You can just grab a bag in the morning before heading to work and not worry about spending money on lunch! Home late and no time or money for dinner? Open up a bag- its always tasty and convenient!

Mason Jar Herb Garden: Great decoration while being functional. Better Homes and Gardens says that virtually any herb can be planted in a mason jar- and its always fresh ready for use when cooking. I'm definitely making a few of these for our kitchen :)

Vintage Chair Shelf: Not sure if we would ever put these up in our house, but it just goes to show how creativity and using what you have around can go a long way. I think something like this would be really cute in a garden area holding plants, gardening gloves and watering cans.

So much inspiration and fun to be explored. All it takes is a little time and determination to add these fun little touches to your home.

Ready for Home!

There's less than 3 weeks until our wedding. And I couldn't be more ready for it to be here.

Lately I've been coming and going, driving up and down the coast, going here and there, doing this and that, and its made my head go a bit crazy! Especially because I don't really have a place to go home to. I love where I live, but since I graduated high school, I have transfered schools, moved a few times, worked at a summer camp, lived in another country, and my family moved away from my hometown. So the place I went "home" for the holidays and other occasions didn't at all feel like home. I haven't really known where to call home for the past few years... and its been really weird for me.

But now as Nolan and I are starting our new life's together, we're building a home of our own. As corny as it sounds, home really is when I'm with him! And I'm so ready to go HOME!

Wedding planning can be really stressful, I'm trying to keep my head on straight while not turning into bridezilla... But despite the stress and details, I know that day will come where I will just soak it all in and enjoy the hard work everyone has put into making this day so amazing. And I'm way more excited about the being married part than anything!

All in all, home is wherever I'm with you. And I'm so ready to go home :)
