making our home a (grey)t one!

four months later and I think our home is mostly settled in! The children rooms are still pretty much untouched, so those projects will be saved for much later. 

We moved in late june and knew we had a lot ahead of us. We hit the ground running, painting most of the house that weekend along with moving in. So so much grey paint. We had a few DIY projects we wanted to do sooner rather than later and did them as budget friendly as possible. 

HUGE thanks to our family for helping us.. with everything. everyone in our family had a paint brush in their hand at one point. and my dad for being the carpenter and making our vision come to life! 

our home isn't perfect, but it is perfect for our little family! we have already celebrated birthday, baby showers, get togethers and play dates here and look forward to many many more. 

here's the before and after!

excuse the fact that "before" pictures were taken after we had moved all of the paint supplies in, oops!

miss evynn's room

I love how the nursery turned out :) So warm, cozy and colorful! We are so thankful for all of the love that has been poured out from friends and family into this room, from the crib and rocker to books and homemade blankets. 

My inspiration was simple yet pops of color and I think it turned out just that!

 the garland is a felt ball garland I ordered from easy. It's simple but I love the pop of color it added. We got the rocking chair at our church shower today and found a pillow and storage/footstool to complete it all. 

I printed off some wall prints and framed them, hot glued some flowers on an "E", and found 3 gold mirrors from.. family dollar of all places!

 the changing table was my dresser all through college and I painted it a bright yellow mustard color. We got the rolling rack from ikea and it's used to store toys, headbands/shoes and blankets

We found the white (and pink) lamps at Homegoods, the purple globe on the shelf from Target and i added some plain blocks for decor alongside our "baby makes three" picture

 ignore the blank picture frames for now ;) i plan on framing some maternity/ultrasound/newborn pictures soon! I put sophie on the shelf along with evynn's baby book that I'll fill out later

We are finally all set! All we need now is a baby ;)
