So...

It's been a while since my last post.  I've had a very busy month!  We finished the bulk (see how I didn't say that we were 100% done?) of our upstairs remodel...FINALLY!!!  I was particularly excited to be done because my parents came for a week long visit, so of course, things had to look good for them.  I know they wouldn't care if there was still dust and debris everywhere, but it was much nicer this way.  Plus, they were able to get the whole "before and after" visual, as they helped us move in last...September!  Wow, it's almost been one full year since we moved into this big, old beauty.

So, yeah, busy month.

But now it's time to show you what our almost finish upstairs looks like!  That is exciting because most of the hard work is out of the way for this phase of the remodel and it's time for "fun work"...aka...decorating ...aka...spending money (insert Mark groaning in the background)!

I have sort of a love-hate relationship with home decor.  I'm super picky and I get sick of things quickly (the later is probably the thing my sweet husband hates most about me), which usually leads to me living in an undecorated space.  I plan to change that and make this house feel like HOME. But to do that I have to somehow mesh together my love for vintage, my mid-century home, and my love for modern/contemporary/minimalism.  Tall order, I know.  I hear you saying it can't be done *cough* well *cough*.  You may be right.  However, I like looking at home style/decor blogs.  I am never in want of inspiration...I am usually too inspired and my brain "pings", which is never a good thing.  (Gilmore Girls reference for those of you not in the know.)

So, for now, I will leave you will some decor awesomeness from Molly Mo's:

I want that metal basket on top the awesome cabinet...and the suitcase...oh, just give me all of it and I'd be happy!

I am going to be at the Molly Mo's Summer Antique Faire in Sublimity on Saturday in hopes of finding some great decor. Wish me luck!
