Welcome Home

{picture from her Etsy shop}


Mr. SE and I are starting to settle into our new home, and it's slowly hitting me that we actually own the place! The first couple weeks felt like we were staying at a friends' place, or at a hotel. Every morning I wake up in our spa-like bedroom and it feels like a dream. I can't hardly believe how much we've accomplished since I moved here a year ago (May 26th to be exact!).

As the inside of our home is taking shape quite quickly, the outside has been a little slower to come around. Mr. SE has taken to the lawn mowing and weeding, while I've focused on the pretty accents. One of my first purchases was a pretty wreath, because a home looks so inviting with a wreath on the door. Some of my more recent purchases have been through my love, Etsy.
My mom is a huge fan of Uppercase Living/Wonderful Graffiti, and I knew I wanted some for my house. Mr. SE and I initially wanted one of those metal house number plates, but the price tag quickly turned me away. Enter Etsy seller PiccadillyPeddler. I purchased this super cute house number decal from her shop for only $10. It was super easy to apply, and I just love the way it looks.


Our door is cream, and the decal is black. Go over to Etsy and get one for yourself- this is a price you can stomach for an adorable welcome to your home! What do you prefer- working on the inside or outside of your home? Let me know your favorite little project that made a big difference!

that is SOOO funny we both mentioned wreaths today--CRAZY how old we're getting right???

and definitely prefer working on the inside because it truly makes a house a home...although I am starting to fancy gardening--AHHH!
