The bed

I have been searching high and low for a bed that I love, was in the budget, Jason loved and would be timeless. This proved harder than I thought. I'd go into stores and they'd ask me what I was looking for in a bed and I'd tell them, "I'm not sure, but I'll know it when I see it." And guess what, today I saw it.

I think I like the shorter posts better, what do you think?

I found it just in time too, Jason and I closed on our house yesterday and will start moving in tonight. We don't officially move until the end of the month, as far as church stuff/our callings are concerned, but I'll be slowly moving our stuff in between now and then.

Mirror mirror on the wall...

I really want to put a mirror above my fireplace. Mirrors just seem to really open up a room and reflect in more light. And I'm all about openness and light. I saw this mirror in Anthropologie and fell in love.

Powder Room

I bought this hand towel for my new powder room. It's the only room in the house I have fully decorated in my mind.



We're supposed to close tomorrow. I can't believe it's really happening!

Offer: Accepted

Now the fun part begins. Loan applications, inspections, appraisals, down payments and other such grown up stuff. But, if all goes well, we will be home owners on July 10th.

More pictures from the MLS:




I went up there again last night with my dad, Carlie and Jason. I wish I would have taken a picture of the view from the house. It's amazing, to die for. There had just been a rainstorm, so everything was clear and there were the most beautiful rainbows.

Here we go again...

We're making another offer on a house today. This will be our fifth offer, and sometimes I wonder if this has became a game to me and I'll freak out if I actually end up moving. I mean, we've made four offers already, and even though two of the four were accepted, we haven't moved. Not for lack of trying or lack of desire, but because of complications on the sellers end. Anyway, here's the house:

Don't worry, it's landscaped now and the grass really makes a difference.

It's cute, very open and spacious floor plan. 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with a fantastic unfinished basement. It's in Cedar Hills in a development called The Cottages, how cute is that?! So, wish us luck.

Focal Point

I think too often the focal point in a room is some gigantic television, and I'm not crazy about the message that sends. I'd much rather have a room like this, with one entire wall dedicated to books (and various knick knacks for fun).

To buy or not to buy...

This home is for sale in Orem. I sort of want to buy it and fix it up. Don't you think it has a lot of potential? The inside is a wreck, but full of possibilities!
