MY HOME

The photos below are ones that I took in 2008 right before we moved in.  This is our first home.  It's definitely a starter home, and we feel very blessed to have a place to call home.

My goal is to create a more beautiful space for us to live in.  My style has definitely changed over the years since we first moved in, but I believe I am beginning to find my true style.  In 2008 and newly married, I thought my home had to be like a Rooms to Go showroom where everything matched.  I prefer transitional living spaces, but I also love a touch of the unexpected.  I am influenced by Scandinavian design, mid century modern, whimsical spaces, industrial design, and some modern minimalist design, but ultimately, I am learning to build a home around the things I love, even if they may not necessarily go together.  I want my home to reflect me, not what I think others should feel like my home should be, which is how I first started decorating in 2008.  If a room has been updated, I'll include a progress or after photo along with a link (if possible).

To get a better understanding of the styles I love, please check out my Interior Spaces Pinterest Board.

Front of house:  (Please note.  Matt and I lack green thumbs and an eye for landscaping.  This means I doubt we will ever, ever post anything about yard work, gardening, or sprucing up our exterior.  It's so sad; I know. :)
