new|CHAIR I had something fairly specific in mind, but it wasn't the sort of thing I could actually look for. Instead, I kept my eye out until I saw something that would fit the bill. And guess what? It reclines. BONUS.
favorite|PICTURE This is my all-time favorite picture of me and Kirk, and when he came across it while unpacking, he claimed it for his end table. I love seeing it every day, but it is even better knowing that Kirk picked one of my favorites.
perfect|RAILING I love everything about this particular spot in the house. The contrast of the black metal with the warm wood. The only carpet in the whole house. A hint of the slate blue I've worked into the palette. And I can't wait to decorate the banister come Christmas.
updated|MENU BOARD Michelle was kind enough to update my menu board to reflect the new colors. It's nice to have something familiar nearby as I try to remember where on earth I put the pizza cutter/melon baller/apple corer... that list definitely goes on!
grown up|PLACE SETTING I've always wanted to own a set of fine china but have never indulged because I can't reconcile my contemporary style with the idea that china should have a history. I finally feel like I can give up the desire for china since I now have a gorgeous place setting for 12 including formal glasses in a sleek, modern style.
french|DOORS When a friend came over to do an awesome empty-house photo shoot, she was sure to grab a picture of me next to one of my favorite features: the french doors that lead into the piano room. I could gush on and on about all I love, but I'll keep it simple with the chart topper: the laticed shadows cast into the entry when the sun streams through the piano room window.
welcome|HOME We're still a week or two away from moving the boys into their new bedrooms (they are going to be EPIC), which means we are still a week or three away from truly unpacking and settling in. But while it is far from perfect and far from finished, it already feels like home.
