This is somewhat\u00a0 behind as I had intended to post this a few weeks ago -so, over the next few renovation posts I will bring you all up to speed!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello everyone, I hope this finds you well! I figured it was time for a renovation update since so much has happened over the past couple of weeks. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that we have finally fully moved out of our house. Let me just say\u2014it felt like a Herculean feat. I\u2019m not looking for sympathy, but I truly forgot how physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting moving can be. And let\u2019s not even talk about how much I had accumulated over the years\u2014it honestly felt like a never-ending cycle of discovering yet another closet I had forgotten to empty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The silver lining? The opportunity to donate so much, knowing that it\u2019s going to good homes where it will be used and appreciated. That always makes the chaos feel a little more worthwhile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for the house itself, it is now officially boarded up and being completely gutted\u2014except for the foyer, living room, dining room, sunroom, and library, which will remain intact. It\u2019s surreal to see it in this state, but also exciting to finally move forward with the renovation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As if that wasn\u2019t enough, we also had five moving truck trips back and forth to the house where we\u2019ll be living for the next year to year and a half. My husband and I are both the type who need to settle in quickly\u2014neither of us can stand living among boxes\u2014so we worked ourselves to the bone to get everything in order. Some nights, I could barely make it up the stairs to bed! But I\u2019m happy to say the dust has settled, and we\u2019re finally feeling at home here. There\u2019s still plenty to go through, and some things have gone into storage since we won\u2019t need them during this transition, but overall, we\u2019ve done a great job making this house feel comfortable in just a week and a half.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m tweaking little things here and there every day, but I\u2019m also reminding myself not to overdo it\u2014because, let\u2019s be real, I\u2019m not 30 anymore. The one thought that kept me going through this exhausting process? That this is our second-to-last move. The next one will be our final, very mindful, and very curated move.<\/p>\n

I joked a while ago that this is a two-for-one experience\u2014not only will I be sharing the renovation of our home, but I\u2019ll also be sharing small tweaks and improvements we\u2019re making to our temporary house. So for the next few weeks, expect a mix of both. And once the renovation really gets underway, we\u2019ll shift our focus more to that\u2014including all the exciting design decisions to come.<\/p>\n

But enough talking\u2014let me show you the empty house as it stands!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everything in the dining room all take down and getting packed up<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still love the bamboo wallpaper hall where the linen closet is!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

How pretty are these doors? Some were donated<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bedrooms getting emptied one at a time amazing how much was stuffed into the closets and drawers! Almost all window treatments we saved except for a few we donated<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

5th and final moving truck!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love my bedroom, its filled with light and a beautiful view. This will not change much except we are vaulting eh ceiling and changing the windows<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One final corner with my desk and chair…last things to go<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used to wear a lot of turquoise and coral (still love it) forgot how much I had, was kind of fun discovering some pieces I forgot about, great for summer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And this my friends is the pink capsule I had to live in for 2 years….this take pinks to a whole new level:) Suffice to say cannot wait to have a beautiful white bathroom! The beautiful small lantern, which was there for many many years is so pretty, so much so that I have a sample of it being made!<\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0 like I had said earlier this is somewhat outdated as we moved into the new house about 3 weeks ago so my next post will be an update on the house we will call. home for the next year or so and then in a few weeks I will start posting about my vision for our renovated house, as we have a lot of decisions to make on the horizon. We are happy to be settling into the\u00a0 “temporary house” and I imagine things will feel a bit less hectic as we finish setting in here so that we fully focus 100% on our big project aka our forever home.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping in. If you have questions related to this, please answer them in the comments section below. I get a lot of emails and not always able to get to them but will answer your questions diredtly here on this post Thanks for stopping in. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!<\/p>\n
