Last week I decided to share what was inspiring me via a collage on Instagram. A mood board of sorts. And because I really don’t have much else to report, I thought what the heck, let’s talk about it here too. Last week kicked off with the moody blues and greys. This week though is all about houses. My house, your house, the house on the cover of all the mags I can get my hands on. The Block. Pinterest boards filled with them. Lots and lots of houses. Houses.
I guess that was bound to happen. We are finally coming to the end of our adventure and will be moving into our house in a few short weeks. This will be our fifth home, excluding those we have rented. FIVE. We have built from scratch lots and this will be our second renovation.
The paint swatches are piling up, I have carpet samples swimming in my head. There are couches to buy and furniture items to replace. This is the house we are putting down roots in for a while. We want it to be something special. Something reflective of us as a couple. A place to call home and welcome our friends.
With all that in mind, it’s no wonder I’ve got houses on the brain.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
First of all CONGRATS! on the new whare (house)!!! Must be a huge relief to finally have the buying part done and dusted. Now I can’t wait to see the creative process kick into gear!
I always seem to have houses on the brain. I browse Domain for fun! When we were kids, Mum used to take up open homing for fun! It’s in my blood. We’re moving to China later this year, so we have to sell a three bedroom apartment full of furniture before we go, and then start all over again in a new country! I am scared, excited and as much as I hate to part with the pieces I have collected during my few years in Aussie, I am already dreaming up new things and new arrangements for the new place in Nanjing LOL.
Thank you! It’s awesome to finally be at the pointy end of the whole process. Time to get the money paid and make it mine. Yaaaay! You are preaching to the choir about houses lady… My parents opened their first real estate agency when I was 9 years old. I’ve been in love with house since.
Good luck with the move! Such a big deal to clear the decks entirely like that. I hope it all goes beautifully for you. I can only imagine what wonders you can pout together for your new home.
Lol with agents as parents, you got property in your blood lady! Thanks for the luck 🙂
Uh huh. Indeed. 😉
I have houses on the brain too, but I’m not moving anytime soon. Looking forward to seeing what you share as you make this new house your home. 🙂
Thank you Dannielle. I was thinking there has to be a post or two for Happy Home in this whole process somewhere. Haha.
Yes! That would be ace! Just let me know whenever.
Will do!
