Operation homey home…

This weekend we FINALLY got some of our shelves up in our new place!  I haven’t really been all that excited about our new apartment.  We moved from a place that we actually loved a lot to a new place that has some major perks.  Cheaper rent, smaller commute, and right next door to some of our favorite people.

I think a big reason why I’ve had a hard time adjusting is because we moved during the height of my first trimester tired-no-motivation phase.  A lot of things are still in boxes which is something I have a super hard time with.  I am a super crazy unpacking organizing machine…so having no interest in putting our house together for the first 3 months was a bit of a downer.  Ever since we got these shelves up though, I’m falling a little bit in love with our cozy space.

One of my favorite things so far has been this little coffee station.  Our new place has a teeeeny tiiiiny kitchen with no counter space at all.  So adding this one little shelf in our dining area for all of my caffeinating equipment was a super nice way to get some clutter out of the way.  There are still a couple touches that I’m going to add, hopefully next weekend.  But the more we do the more I enjoy where we live and the more I can picture our little family making sweet memories here.

Side note:  Decorating when you know you are going to have a little one running around getting in everything is a whole different vibe than the kid-less decorating.  I’m super conscious of the height of everything and making sure nothing valuable or unsafe is close to the ground…look at me…thinkinlikeamom…weird.
