Adding Decor

It's been just over two months since hubby and I moved to our new house.  While we managed most of the unpacking within the first week of being in the house, there was still one large box left unpacked.  This box held all of our artwork and wall decorations.  After buying a new piece of art for our living room, we were inspired to finally unpack our last box.  The house is feeling more like home now than ever before.

That's our new painting and some new additions to our living room decor

With the pillows recovered and a few new additions, the living room's Moroccan theme is really coming together.  We've also added to our coffee bar.  I found the cutest print from Paper Finch Designs on Scoutmob.com.  It's a map where the states/cities we've lived in have been highlighted.  We were able to customize it with some of our more recent homes, and now it is hung above the coffee bar surrounded by photos of our travels.

 The greatest design... it says "roam if you want to"... and hubby and I have done quite some roaming

The girls waiting for us in the morning... so adorable!

Project Home Decor

Hubby and I are slowly decorating the house and putting our spin on it.  We recently bought a piece of art for the living room, and I am in the process of recovering the throw pillows on the living room couch.  I love doing different projects to help add personal touches to our home (as you might guess from my homemade coffee table project).  When we were looking for houses, I made sure we would have an extra room to serve as an office/guest room/crafting-project space. 

The newly recovered pillow on the left and the old pillow on the right.

This all-purpose space is key to all the crazy things I come up with.  I have set up a table that flaps open to hold my sewing machine for the pillow project.  There's a tall bookcase that has all my cookbooks and craft books.  My treadmill sits in the corner of the room ready for morning workouts.  The desks in the room are not as necessary with the study that is located just off of this room, but they still hold stationary, a TV, and inspirational mementos.

Where the magic happens... this is the view from the door to guest room/workspace.

You can see my workout space and the surprisingly comfy pull out couch.
