Big Day

Tomorrow is finally the big move in day, and we couldn't be more excited!  Leaving work early so he can close on the house and move things in (which is not much considering he only has clothes and what is piled in boxes that we have bought in my room).  He's wanting to wait till Friday, or Saturday to maybe go get some furniture with the extra cash that he now has after selling his Camaro.  This has been a very eventful April!  Planning on showing a house tour in the next few days.  :)  But until then, here is a shot of the outside of it.

House Update and Current Favorite Must Have's

I haven't been able to post in a few weeks due to the fact that the house ended up falling through with Drew.  Like there I was one minute stocking up on Bath and Body's deal on foam soap, and the next minute he was telling me it was a no-go.  But all good news here, don't worry!

The timing couldn't have ended up more perfect.  Long story short, just last week he found out that it was his again, and then the very next day he was promoted to branch manager.  Double win!!  So now we are even more excited than before! :)

We have been shopping again for more fun stuff to fill the house with.  So here are a few things that I consider as my current favorite must-have's.

Cookie Jar, Brentwood Distressed Cream Shutter Mirror, Glass Jars, Gray Bath Mat, Storage Basket, Foam Soap

I am obsessed with the shutter mirror from Kirklands! (Almost half off from the original price online!!!) We're replacing the mirror that is currently in the bathroom with this one, and I can't wait to see the whole bathroom once we get everything in there, including the ladder shelf that Grandpa has made me.  In love with it.  I'll post with pictures and step by step instructions on DIY, another time.  Going back to Target this week to get this bath curtain that I have my eye on that matches the gray rug perfectly.

I can't even get over how much I love the homemade cookie's jar that is from Kirklands, as well.  And I just noticed that is now half-off online!

All inspections done, now just waiting patiently for the key!  Seriously, you should see my room right now.  I can't wait to get all the stuff out of there and into his house so I am able to walk through my room again! More post's coming soon on my favorite must-have's, I'm sure... because this weekend we are making a trip to Crate and Barrel. I stopped by shortly today in time to snatch up the last 2'x3' burlap and black striped doormat, found here, but waiting till this weekend to check out more stuff when we can both go shopping together!

Big Things

So, the main reason I wanted to make this blog was for the sole purpose of documenting the exciting things that are happening in my life, lately.  I'm big on keeping anything that has any kind memory attached to it... So whats better than to make my own personal, online blog?!  So excited! 

Anyways!  To get to the main point here...  My boyfriend is a first-time homeowner!!!!  As of last Friday.  And guess what?  The very next day we went shopping to find things to fill it with.  Can you tell we're excited?  ;)  Here are a few of the things we ended up buying last weekend.  I'm obsessed.

I know what you're thinking... where's all the things you really need?  Don't worry I have plenty of things to fill his kitchen with.  I threw a Pampered Chef party a few weeks ago and stocked up on plenty of fun things for the kitchen.  I can tell you all the good, juicy details, and free things of throwing a Pampered Chef party in another post. We also stocked up on towels and a few other things, and will be looking into furniture when he actually gets the key!

I am in love with this shelf floor lamp that we got from Kirklands.  Except we bought it in all white, instead of the black trim, like the one pictured above.  (The all white lamp didn't show up well on the white background, so I had to use the black).  I am also obsessed with this small chalkboard from Kohls that I am going to be putting in the kitchen.  It is half off right now, with an additional 20% off with your Kohls card!  I decided to get a few things to decorate the place with, like the white flower vase (bought from Target's clearance section), and the white wax warmer for the kitchen.  I really like this black and white block vase I got on clearance.  I'm going to use it in the kitchen to put all the cooking utensils in.  Make sure you always check the Target Cartwheel app for great deals, as well... I got the matte stainless steel silverware set for only $17.  And lastly, the most perfect wire basket, ever.  I found this little guy at Ashley Home Furniture (in stores, only).  I'm going to put it in the family room to hold all the blankets.

Can't wait to show a house tour of the place once he gets moved in!  I'm planning on posting before/after pictures of renovations, or any other DIY things that we plan to do. Thanks for reading!
