growing up

8 years, 3 apartments, 2 house sittings, and 2 kids later, we are finally buying a house.

I feel like we are growing up and making one of those really big decisions you make when you get married. It took us a lot longer than normal but we are now home owners.

I am excited to finally settle and have places to put our things. We are pretty much starting from scratch. We sold all our furniture before we moved up here and now we have to buy couches, dining room table, and everything except for beds. I think our house is going to be pretty bare for awhile.

Where are we moving, you ask? Farmington...north. I was hesitant to live up north. I am not very familiar with it, but it was the best location since Eric works in Ogden so his drive is now 20 minuets instead of 1 hr. and 1o min. Much better.

Part of buying a house has gotten me excited to actually decorate rooms. My kids have not had a nursery and not even crib bedding(at that is what I do...make crib bedding). But with all my picture taking I need a crib and it is a pain to take on and off bedding all the time, so I just don't use them. But now they are going to get a room all made up for them. I am excited and stumped at the same time. I hate decorating sometimes and I have a hard time figuring out what I want.
So I browse the internet looking for ideas. I found some that I really like and I think this is what I will do for the kids rooms.

Taylor:





{I have had the pinkish pom poms since her 1st birthday and I knew I wanted to use them in her room somehow. I found this bedroom and loving the pink and orange combo with a touch of grey}




Ryan:




{I love the color combo and again pom poms, wondering if that is too much having pom poms in both rooms, we will see}


or this...



{the bedding in the picture is a set I did for a client...her over all room was put together nicely, I have been drawn towards the turquoise and orange lately}
