I have been putting this post off for so long, because I feel like my house isn't "finished" but knowing me, my style, and my personality, it will never truly be "finished" as I am a sucker for change and keeping up with the latest trends and home accessories. I got really lucky when I found my house as I did not have to paint or change ANYTHING!! I just moved in and brought all of my colorful things!
I closed on my house at the end of January (1/29/18) which is super crazy cool if you're a numbers person because my birthday is 10/29/88...anyway if you have ever bought a house before, you know you have to sign like 800 documents (for real though haha) and I kept messing up the date AND my birthday because they are so close in numbers!! Also...it's Kansas's birthday (even though I have lived in Missouri since 2012..........)always a Kansas girl at heart.
I am truly in love with every piece of this house (except the FREAKING JUNE BUGS outside...but I'm not going to let that take away from all the happiness I feel waking up here every day!!!) Buying a house was something I didn't really plan on doing because I liked living downtown and I honestly didn't think I would be able to save or afford something I would like enough to move me away from downtown. With some encouragement from my dad, I saved, saved, saved and WORKED as much as possible booking sessions, putting myself out there, always constantly hungry for the next opportunity to make it happen. Like I have said before, I love making myself nervous and personally, I work and do best under pressure.
After living here almost 6 months, here is a little tour of my happy home. I get lots of DMs (daily) about where things are from and others wanting to add in splashes of color! I have even had several questions about what I will do color wise when I meet someone and have to live with a man --- this one always makes me lol. I don't see the problem!?!?!?!? I could tone it down a bit I guess?! Or trade some pinks out for some blues and greens and yellows and EVERY other color possible but I feel like whoever I end up with is going to be a pretty vibrant guy their self so who knows?! Maybe by that time, I'll be into something new?! I don't think that far ahead and it's one of the joys of living in the moment and doing what YOU want to do! At the end of the day, you're in this space more than any other place, so dress a house in a way that will make you smile every time you walk in! :)
