Holidays & Hurting Hearts

Home.  

One of my favorite words. 

 Is there any place I would rather be? 

God has given our family this wonderful home.

White Kitchen Reveal

I am so excited to show you all my new white kitchen!

We still need to do the countertops, but that may be a while,

so I couldn't wait any longer.

Vintage Fireplace Surround

Now that we finally have most of the basics in place,

there is really only some tweaking to do.

  

Craigslist Kitchen Hutch

We have been lightening and brightening up our home

 over the last year, but with the coming arrival of this little girl here (lying on the floor), we kicked our painting into high gear.  

Dog fur and painting just don't mix.

A Little Late to the Fall Decorating Party

Well, I am certainly late in getting my fall home tour up. 

Earlier I shared the outside of my home,

now here are a few shots of the inside.



Things Are Getting Whiter Around Here - My Painted Dining Table

Ever since I discovered two of my favorite blogs, The Old Painted Cottage and Our Vintage Home Love, I have wanted to whiten up my home.  I love the look of white with wood.  I love neutrals and texture.  The problem was, I didn't own a single thing that was white.  I couldn't imagine ever having a white home without breaking the bank.  But I started slowly.  I will do a full post on that soon, but today I am sharing my painted dining table.  

Our New Puppy

There have been a lot of changes here at the Long Awaited Home.  But the biggest change is our newest family member.

Meet

Harley Quinn.

She is the cutest, most lovable thing ever!
