5 on Friday: New Home Sneak Peeks


Note: This post does not include the dust on the floor, boxes on boxes, clothes overflowing out of suitcases, things where they don't belong etc. These are little snippets of some of the only things that are currently together in our new home. All that to say: don't think it's perfect because it's not. Life is about being a work in progress. :) 
You can read the story of our first home here! Glory to God!

ONE | MIRRORED TRAY 
This in the middle of our double vanity makes everything look lovelier!


TWO | MY CORNER
I love this girly corner of the bathroom. It's a print of my wedding dress (given to all brides by the designer!) and our ring bearer plate that I adore. 


Purchased from Paloma's Nest on Etsy

THREE | MASTER BEDROOM NOOK
A lovely corner nook (and obsessed with all of the green out the window!).


FOUR | LAUNDRY ROOM WALLS 
The only room where things are hung right now. The dry erase board from our wedding weekend kickoff on Lake Wylie (that I will never erase!) and bulletin board full of happy things.
 

FIVE | COFFEE + TEA STATION
Obviously we cannot go a day without coffee/tea in our home. So when the granite install finished Wednesday night, this was the first set up on the new counter top.

I keep a picture of our English family here as a prayer trigger to pray for them each time I make coffee or tea. :)


That's all for now. My talented mama is coming in town this weekend, so she is sure to get things looking spiffier in no time. That woman can get everything hung in a house in under 2 hours. She's got skillz. Can't wait to show y'all more!

Cheers to the lovely linkup creators: Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!

Happy Mother's Day weekend to all you mamas! Cheers to y'all!

    This is all looking so lovely and romantic! Well done so far. And yes aren't moms the best? They have a special skill. My mom helped with cleaning and made the place shine like it has never before. And never will again I fear. Have a great weekend!

    Happy Friday, sweets!! I love that you keep it real with that lit'l disclaimer you kicked this post off with...you're so right, life is about being a work in progress! ;) My heart is about to burst with happiness over every cute detail in this post!! I love that your home is such a reflection of the joy of marriage! I adore the details of your wedding dress print, adorable ring bearer plate, and the dry erase board {that'll never be erased!} I love that you've placed a framed photo of family as a reminder to pray for them while prepping a yummy drink! You have such a beautiful heart for your family!! Have a fabulous weekend, friend! xxoo
