We are finally settled into our new house!
Mostly.
The counter in our laundry room is still covered in random cleaning supplies and tools that don’t quite have a home yet, and only 2/3 of our closets have any shelves in them. There are still a few boxes still to be unpacked, but all of them are stacked in those closets that don’t quite have shelves yet. #Winning
But mostly, we’re settled. And it’s even starting to feel like home.
The cats have fully adjusted to being fireplace-owning cats. #Spoiled
Scott MADE the hanging beam light fixtures over our island and dining room table. As I’ve said before, I will be worthless in an apocalypse, and am glad I married well.
Almost everything you see made out of wood (pantry doors, trim, mantle, railing, etc.) were made by our good friend Gordy at Gordon Miller Woodworks. He does a fabulous job, as you can see, and really enjoys taking unique slabs of wood and creating one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture and picture frames and things.
Our “nursery” – which is still almost this empty. Probably should start doing something about that.
My office is pretty boring at the moment.
But it has a nice view.
Thanks for sharing. Great pics.
Thanks, Merle! Glad you and Grandma got to come see it in person!
Beautiful. beautiful, beautiful!!!! Love!
Thanks, Yvonne! If you’re ever in Wisconsin, you’re invited over! :)
Beautiful!! Can’t wait to see what you do top the nursery.
Thanks, Dominique! I have no grand plan, so it’ll be a surprise for all of us. :)
Yay, congratulations on moving into your own place! That unsettled feeling when you’re mid-transition is so frustrating, so I’m glad you get a chance to breathe and get used to your new space!
Also, my cat would be VERY jealous that your cats get their own fireplace spot. ;)
Yes! You nailed it: it was really hard to chill for a few months. Feeling much better now.
And I think ALL cats would like their own fireplace. :)
Thanks so much for sharing! So gorgeous.
Thanks, Leah!
Love it! Everything is gorgeous. It’s so great to see the reward from all the hard work you guys put in. And it makes me happy to see your books living in the light on shelves again! Now the real question is, when will your cats graduate to lounging on the fireplace mantel? ;)
Yes! Having books back on shelves is such a nice thing. :) I’m curious if the cats will move closer, too – I don’t think they can hop up on the mantle (code dictates that it be 60″ from hearth – which is maybe a bit high for them to jump), but I keep thinking they’ll at least become hearth kitties. We’ll see!
Your home is gorgeous! I LOVE the hanging light fixture in the dining room – it’s perfect.
Thank you, Anna! It’s nice to have people who can make things in your life – considering the most elaborate thing I can do is lasagna. :)
