Hello Friends!
Just a few peeks at how the new house is coming along.
I'd say we're about 75% moved in, but there's still much to be done.
MUCH.
MUCH.
I haven't been able to foof and primp and really style the house yet.
Virtually nothing has been hung on the walls.
Virtually nothing has been hung on the walls.
But I still felt like I owed y'all some pics, so here they are!
The dental cabinet I got for my birthday last October.
It is so darling!
I had given up on ever finding one for an affordable price,
but this one was a steal.
It needs some shelves added,
but The Mr. says that he'll get on that right away.

Speaking of....
There he is right there,
measuring for living room curtains!
The kitchen is coming along...
I'm not sure if all the stuff going on above the cabinets will
stay put. I'll be rearranging all that mess in the days ahead.
I titled this post "My Little Blue and White Farmhouse"
because that really seems to be the theme in the kitchen.
The sweet little backsplash tiles were already here,
and I just ran with the theme.
I just think blue and white are quintessentially "farmhouse", don't you?

Whoa...
You almost need shades to withstand all that white!
And of course, while we were there I had to do a little
pimpin' of Fifi's amazing book...
which just coincidentally is included in my
Spring Romance Giveaway...
as well as this little treasure...

love the white cabinets in the kitchen. I want to do that...but then I don't. do. then don't. i battle myself daily.
ReplyDeleteAnne, the shows weren't the same without YOU! So glad to see your farmhouse is coming along. Many were asking for you at the shows. Talk soon, T
ReplyDeleteVery very beautiful! I love that piece above the dental cabinet..it looks perfect there.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Oh Anne,
ReplyDeleteIt is truly so beautiful!!! I love the dental cabinet, what a fabulous birthday present! Have fun styling your new house!
Sincerely,
Melinda
Well, you didn't owe us anything...but I'm glad you paid off! I love your farmhouse, especially your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the blue and white - it's irresistible and looks pretty and farmhouse inspired :-) Your kitchen is lovely, so bright and airy!
ReplyDeleteJem xXx
you house is looking mighty cute! can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Looks like its coming along. I adore the white and blue kitchen. Perfect in every way, so clean and bright. You will look cool wearing shade while having your morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Yes I agree that blue and white are perfect farmhouse colors and your farmhouse is wonderful. I think that you're feeling a bit pressured to get your house in order so you can take pictures for us...please don't! I felt the same way last fall when hubby started working on our picket fence off the back porch. I was so excited to take pictures and get them on the blog...but then the cold weather hit and his arthritis got bad and here we are into April and it's still sitting half done. We have projects going on all over the farm and it's hard to take pretty pictures with all these messes in the background. So...I've learned to "not sweat the small stuff". We'll get to things when we get to them and everyone will just have to be patient...because in the end...it will be worth the wait. I know your little farmhouse will be absolutely awesome when it's done and I for one...don't mind waiting. What you've shown us today is WONDERFUL and I look forward to your 'big reveal' when you feel you're ready. Have fun!
Maura :)
Your home looks so beautiful! I adore your kitchen. It looks so gorgeous. I wish you lots of love, and laughter in your new home.

For the amount of time you've had, you have done GOOD in fixing up your new home. I love all the pictures and all the clean looks of the "whites". I think we all want a "Mr" of our own! I have the book and absolutely love it. It's one of those books you can keep looking at and still find more to see!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue
Charming! Cozy and Charming some more! Love it Anne. Glad you are having fun! Lot's to do and it will get done and when it get's done, you'll redo it. OCDD...Obsessive compulsive decorating disorder. Such a fun disease to have. ;)

Love "Your" blue and white! The touches are so fresh and clean!!! Thanks for the photos.
ReplyDeleteOh Anne! It is looking so fabulous! I am so envious of all of the charm. Also, I finally had a chance to get my hands on your magazine feature this evening and felt like I "knew someone famous" when I read your name. All of the photographs and styling were absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly appealing to my need for clean and white lately. My mostly black cats are enjoying covering everything with dark fur. : 0
ReplyDeleteLove it! I really like the blue mixed with the white in the kitchen. It is going to be gorgeous. Enjoy it and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let it evolve and have fun!

Hi Anne! I am soooo thrilled for you that you're almost moved in! This has been such a long time coming for you and The Mr. I am amazed at the roominess of your home!

ReplyDeleteI like the look of your kitchen and I do think it has the farmhouse flavor. I bought some chalk paint to paint my cabs...I wish I had a white kitchen, but since I don't, I am thinking I will paint it both white and grey...I also like how the mason jars look.
