Happy Monday! Hope you have a great start to your new week. :) Just thought I'd post a few photos of our home that I took with Instagram. I'm having so much fun decorating our condo and it's really starting to feel like home!
When we moved about 8 months ago from a small town and our antique 1918 Craftsman Bungalow, it was a very hard adjustment. We had lived there for 13 years and had so many beautiful memories (along with some sad/difficult ones, too). I really love old homes and it was quite a change moving from a big country home into a tiny modern apartment. I'm still adjusting, honestly, but know there are so many positives to living here. I have MS so the size is definitely more manageable for me, we have a beautiful view of Lake Washington (I thought I could never love a view as much as I loved the one from our old-fashioned country porch), and there's so many exciting things to do when you're nestled in the heart of a small city!
I'll post more photos soon (and better quality photos than these), but here's a sneak peak of our home so far! I'm going for a modern/rustic look. I figured a "modern/rustic" look would remind me of our old home but be updated enough for our new one. :)
I'd love to hear your feedback if you have a second to leave a comment below! xo
It looks lovely. I really like the soft colours!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much! It's fun getting to decorate in "grown up style" now that my kids' are older. :)
DeleteI love it all! It must be quite an adjustment moving from from one type of home to another but it looks like you are making the best of it. Everything is so pretty! And have I told you before that I have a white faux deer head just like yours? My father got it for me for Christmas (after I picked it out on etsy, lol!).
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Phoebe! Makes me happy that you like it because I think we have similar tastes. :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't know you had one of those deer heads, too. I've always loved deer (birds, deer, horses, and rabbits are my favorite) and I love looking at it when I'm sitting on the couch. We have this light above the fireplace and the antlers make the coolest shadows!
I love the whole trend of faux animal heads, it's fun without harming any animals! I also have a paper mache hippo head that my mom gave me. I'll have to post a picture of it. I love deer too and hope that one day I will see one with antlers out in the woods. I see lots of does it seems like grazing along the side of the roads but never one with big antlers. One day...
DeleteOops, missed your comment, Phoebe...sorry! I definitely want to see your hippo head! Pictures? matissecolor@gmail.com
DeleteLovely Vicki. I love the way you arrange and mix match the pillows on your sofa, it adds color on your neutral tones of your loving room. I also love your mix matching chairs on the dining room.
ReplyDeleteOverall your house looks cozy, warm and simple. It is you I could see.. :)
Aww, thanks, Fenny...I just found your sweet message. :) So fun following you on Instagram! xo
