home update

since we're moving soon, i thought it would be fun to take some pictures of a few rooms 
i either haven't shown or that have changed recently

......
Henry's room
......
this is our master closet
and the perfect size for a nursery
i haven't done much decorating
but i added the "h" and triangle bunting today
and feel like that's about all i'll be doing
i'm pretty happy with it

 this chair is in our room, not his nursery but it's where i'll nurse him
 .........
master bedroom
........
we never did much to our room so i don't think i'd shown it much on the blog
but recently we repainted the walls and aren't currently using a headboard because we have a king bed
we bought the lamps, frame and bedding at ikea and the end tables and body pillow at target 
i've never used a body pillow before but i have loved it this pregnancy

 these are ikea pax wardrobes have been a lifesaver allowing us to use our closet as a bedroom
mine is on the left, michael's is on the right and in the middle are my shoes

 our bathrooms are tiny in this house and we don't even have medicine cabinets in them
so this vanity is where i keep all my hair and make up stuff as well as any other bathroom stuff
 .......
the kitchen
.......
we're trying to live it up at our 6 person table while we can :)
luckily this ikea table expands so we can make it work indefinitely

 i have changed this wall a million times while we've lived here
i finally realized the key to me not getting sick of it is white frames
so it's not too heavy visually
 we are still really happy with this ikea piece as our pantry
 .......
living room
.......
this is probably the most documented room in our house
but we recently found this sweet dresser/tv stand at ikea in the as-is and we love it
 we also put this map up to help the kids understand where we live, where we're from
and where we're moving
i think it has helped
 these ikea billy bookshelves are also fairly new
they add a lot of storage that we're grateful for
but it can kind of drive me crazy to look at clutter all day
 it may be hard to tell but we did replace our coffee table recently, too
we got this one in the ikea as-is also
and sold the last one (that was just a little too big and getting pretty beat up) on ksl

that's it!
the kids bedrooms aren't great right now
i can't wait to re-do them when we move and hopefully have more space (bedrooms) to work with
i am going to miss this house, even if it's way too small for us
it has been a fun house to be in and decorate

I think one of my favorite things about reading blogs is getting a peak into other people's lives and homes... I loved getting to look at your cute house (and get ideas for mine!).

I love how beautiful your home is and how it always changes! I get so stressed out with trying to decorate because I don't want to change it, so I usually end up not doing anything... so I love seeing your home!
