Making a House a Home

Still unpacking boxes and my sweet husband was off work today and we started putting some things on the walls. Funny, in our last house, I never got anything on the walls. I guess I never really felt at home there, but in our house now, I feel at home. That is such a good feeling. I have my blue and white transferware plates on the wall above the table in the kitchen and a white wooden shadow box that my daddy made also on the wall. And I have my white fabric covered bulletin board above my desk in the den. The white looks so good with the brown walls of the den.

I also cleared out 2 boxes in my laundry area and got those things on the shelf above my washer and dryer. So good to have things where I can get to them when needed.

Now I can't wait to get everything else in order. I know it will take time, but I can't wait to all is in place. My favorite season of Autumn will be approaching soon and I am so looking forward to decorating. Yesterday while organizing my candles, I just had to remove my orange ones and will put them in a very accessable place. It never hurts to be prepared, right?

And plans are to start our homeschool lessons the beginning of September, so I have the month of August to finish our curriculum plan and to finish getting the house together.

And maybe soon I can post some pictures. Our camera has been with our oldest son in Colorado with a friend and his family for almost 2 weeks, but they headed back home this morning. We have missed him so much; however, we are glad he has been blessed with the opportunity to travel and have fun in the mountains rafting and hiking.
