I can’t believe it’s been almost two months since my last post! Life has been absolutely hectic lately {but I’m not complaining}. In the past two months we celebrated my and the hub’s birthday, welcomed my little sister to the Aggie ring fam {and the world of being 21}, visited our favorite place on Earth {yes, Telluride}, welcomed 6 {of our friends’} new precious babies to the world, worked {and played} quite a bit, and starting building our dream home! The change in the house from my last post until now is absolutely mind blowing. I just hope the rest of the project goes quick too! Believe it or not, but our current living situation of 600 square feet with two pups and two adults is a little overwhelming at times; but we are thankful for what we have, and I’m sure once we have more space, we will miss our tight quarters.
We are starting to make selections for the house and it is more overwhelming than I could have ever imagined! So far, we have chosen our kitchen appliances, plumbing fixtures, windows, interior and exterior doors {including my dream front door :)} and exterior brick color. I keep getting asked what the style of the house is. Well, I really have no clue how to describe it other than French traditional. I LOVED the architecture in New Orleans with the antiqued brick, iron work, and vintage wood. Then when we visited Paris I really understood where that NOLA French look came from and I fell even more in love. So, our home will be a mix of European antique with some newer more traditional flare {if that makes any sense}. Take a peek at some of the progress photos below and stay tuned for a decor inspiration post coming soon!
