Guess who’s closing on their first house next week?

We are!!!!

Because of this, I have been obsessed with home decorating blogs as of late. And magazines. And books.

A lot of time has been spent at the library lately, looking for home inspiration. Not that that’s anything out of the ordinary. I always spend a lot of time at the library.

And a lot of my free time has been spent online, sifting through beautiful, inspiring home blogs. Blogs like these:

I love all of those. I also love Young House Love. There are so may design blogs but the ones I most love reading are those that don’t use crazy expensive furniture, etc. Although I have to say, I love browsing Lonny Mag for inspiration: http://www.lonnymag.com/issues/16-march-april-2011-issue/pages/1

Exciting stuff Julie! We are in the midst of remodeling and it’s insanely crazy. Just starting to pack up the whole house too! Your pretzel week looks deeeelicious….I’m having a French toast week over here! :) take care!

Mmmm…French toast. May have to make some this weekend!

We’re doing the opposite right now… lots of packing, all the remodeling/painting/etc once we’re moved in. We close next Thursday, and have to be out of our apartment by the first, so packing comes first for us!

Hey congrats on the house, that’s awesome! I love home design also, but I have to ignore it usually, or I’ll end up buying way too much! haha. The idea of getting to decorate a whole house sounds so great to me, however!! ;)
