welcome to our new home! DISCLAIMER: there are A LOT of pics in this post! But my thinking is, 'the more, the merrier'!! =) Enjoy...
inset wall display, front entry

our tiny kitchen ;)

my decorating theme for the kitchen is French Provencal (or however you spell it)
You know...bright bold colors, roosters, stoneware/glassware displayed

the fridge that has yet to be filled up w/ pics of our friends & family



luke & i always love to have fresh fruits & veggies on hand




looking out from the kitchen
~ dining room~

bookcase from IKEA

i just thought this pic turned out cool

blurry!




here is our everyday dishware
i don't have room in my cupboards.
plus, I thought it looked kinda pretty displayed like this.


silver tea service from dear friends

notice the 'G' in the background =)


porcelain 'chicks' of my late grandmother's.
I thought they kinda tied in w/ the French Country theme,
since they could technically be baby roosters! hee hee.



living room 'through the looking glass'



our fun retro wall clock




blurry again! sorry!

a fellow military family blessed us with this couch, loveseat, coffee table, and end table
we recovered the couches with slipcovers we received as wedding gifts.
The dining room table and chairs were Luke's great aunts. He and his dad polished everything and his mom lovingly recovered the chairs in fabric that I picked out.
The armoir in the corner was MADE by a friend as my wedding gift!
The small white circular table holding the plant and the antique 'rose' prints on the wall were my grandmother's that I inherited.
The small white bookcase holding our dishes was from my old bedroom that I painted eons ago.
So essentially, all of our furniture in our home except for our bed, large dresser, and IKEA bookcase was given to us! we feel sooo incredibly blessed!!!!




we went to Lowe's our first week of marriage and bought a few plants to spice up our little porch. I love going out there in the mornings to 'inspect' everything, water them, have my quiet time with the Lord, or eat breakfast out there.

one of my trusty watering cans. isn't it so cute?!




i love shells. can you tell??

lemon balm

cilantro, basil

sweet potato vine
