We're totally and completely moved over from our apartment to our house. Everything will still be going slowly since we have to re-drywall Holly's bedroom closet and carpet the room as well as clean the other carpets in the basement and purchase a closet system for our bedroom, but slowly and surely we'll get there! Right now Conor and I are sleeping in the guest bedroom and Holly has continued to share Conor's office. It doesn't feel like that much has changed, but in a few months... We're super happy with how everything looks and we can't wait to get our art pieces and photographs up on the walls and everything organized the way we want it!
Holly has been so well behaved and patient! In this photo, she really looks like her Larsen cousins to me! So Finn and Freyja!
Holly loves to do whatever I'm doing even if it's as drab a chore as mopping. Hopefully she loves to mop for the rest of her life!
Holly found this 1 3/4" nap roller to be one of the best lovies ever!
I unpack the boxes, Holly unpacks the pantry. She did actually help me unpack by passing me cans - so cute especially since she could barely lift them!
I love the way my red kitchenaid looks against our blue walls. Add to that the popping white of the trim and we've got true love!
Opinions needed! See below!
We think we'll take the backing off of our cheap wal-mart shelves so we can appreciate the beautiful walls that are behind them. What do you think? Should we leave the backing on or remove it?
In the future Conor's going to make us some cube shelving. That's after he makes new window ledges (they're going to look fabulous!) and our bed. I'm totally loving this construction side of Conor and I completely support it. We may not be parking in our garage. Instead, I think we're going to leave it as a workspace and I don't mind one bit. Isn't Conor the best??

21 Aug, 2010Yeah, take the backing off. Then the piece isn’t so heavy.
