We believe we should all love where we live.

We had such a great weekend over here.  A solid mix of family time, extended family time (Holla, Marcums!), relaxing, an Ikea trip, Miss America (I thought for SURE Miss Oklahoma was going to win) and a few projects.  Chris finished his work’s website that he has been working on for 4 months, which means we are back to regular work days, none of this rolling home at 2 am crap–which I am ecstatic about.

We also got some cleaning done (it’s not every day that almost the entire house is clean at the same time), so I took the opportunity to shoot another house tour.  The last video house tour we did was back in April when we moved in (you can see that here), and yeesh (!) have things changed.  Wow.  I am so glad we did a video tour before we did anything–it is so interesting and exciting to look back and see where we started–and be glad we aren’t at that point anymore.  I am sure I will look back on today’s video tour in the future and be grateful our home continued to evolve.  Whether you have been following along the whole time, are just tuning in or just have trouble figuring out the layout of our house from only photos–today is your lucky day:

    Why did I totally not think that the new bedroom was DOWNSTAIRS….lol I was shocked seeing you open a door to a staircase! I must have missed that memo…..lol! Your house is so adorable and clean and BRIGHT!!! So much natural light. I wish we had more windows in our town home. It can look so dark sometimes.

    And holy snooooow!!

    Great house tour!!

    You are the bomb. I love a complete home tour like that. Even showing you areas that are done. Awesome. You should see my storage room downstairs at my house, it’s embarassing!! Love it.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
