I just can’t get enough of etsy lately. Seriously, the goods just keep coming! I recently fell in love with these prints for a wee one’s room. They are from the Paper Nut and she’s currently offering 20% off in stock items. Get them before they are gone!
Like nearly everything on etsy, these prints come in a variety of colors and are super reasonably-priced. Can’t you just seem them in a little girl’s room? Darling!
Have a happy day, friends!
Morning, friends. Hope everyone had a happy weekend! Our days revolved around organizing, scrubbing, and cleaning our little abode. Getting ready to put a home on the market is no joke. And the hard part isn’t even here yet. Chaos.
On a lighter note, I *think* spring has finally sprung in the Pacific Northwest. At last! The tulips bloomed in our backyard and I was able to snip a few to place around the house. What is it about these flowers that bring loads of joy to a room?
Little bundles of tulips can be found in a few of our rooms and I can’t get enough of them…
And, I have a mini new spring tablescape going on with a little fern I grabbed at our local garden store. It’s quite a charming plant, and I love the life it brings to the table.
I also have a new man in my life. I picked up this little giraffe with a West Elm gift card I had and I’m in love. Who would’ve thought a cast aluminium object could steal my heart?
Ain’t he cute?
Last but not least, I’ll be on KATU’s morning show AMNW tomorrow at 9 a.m. giving tips on throwing a successful garage sale. If you don’t live in Oregon, I’ll also be posting my 10 tips here too:).
I know I’ve been touting “big news” for awhile now, but I am happy to say the day has come for me to tell my lovely blog readers we are selling our home. Can you believe it? I surely can’t wrap my head around it all – sometimes I’m scared, other times I’m crazy excited. The only thing I know for certain is that I’m going to cry my eyes out when we hand this place over to someone else. It’s been the source of SO MUCH JOY. I even get choked up writing about our memories in this place. I think about how we got engaged in the living room, tackled a full-scale kitchen remodel months before we tied the knot, painted every room in the house like 4 times, renovated the scary basement, and the list goes on and on. Not to mention, this place is truly where Restored Style was born. Tear!
With that said, I feel like I have some explaining to do. Why are we selling? In short, we feel it’s a good time to upgrade to a bigger home (by that I mean 3 beds, 2 baths…still small!). Do we hope it’s a fixer? YES! Do we hope I have loads and loads of new content to share with you? YES! Might it take us some time to find this home? For sure.
Our plan is to officially list our home on May 1, and then see what happens. The chances of us finding a new home before we sell are fairly slim, so apartment living might be in our future. Kyle has promised me that if we do find ourselves living in 400 square feet together, I have permission to purchase us a new bed and bedding, as that’s really the only thing that’s going to fit in our temporary space. What else can I tell you about this major life decision? Nothing else for now, but come May 1st, I’m sure I’ll have updates on how we are staging the home, and how the search for our new little abode is coming along.
Advice? Words of encouragement? Helpful hints? I need it ALL! Thanks for reading friends – let the adventure begin.
