Welcome to my house

IMG_5874

Hi Everyone!  If you follow my blog and Instagram, you know that I have been building a new home for the past year.  I feel so amazingly blessed to have been able to do this.  I know that not many people will such an opportunity.  We moved out of the house we that had been on the property on May 19th, 2013 and moved back into our new home exactly a year later to the day.  I am actually pretty proud of this fact because in California it takes a long while to build a home for some reason.  There are MANY MANY things still not finished but we will slowly get there.  I have been making SO many decisions on a daily basis (most day I was on the site for about 4 hours) that I just need a break and since we will be here for a while, there is no rush.  My approach to decorating is to fill your house with thing that matter to you and things you love.  No huge trips to big box stores for me.  I am a patient gal and would rather wait for something that moves me. So here is a glimpse of the past year of my life…

    Jenny, your home is like a work of art! Absolutely stunning. I bet you are so happy to have the past year behind you and finally get to have your dream home! And I am just like you. I would much rather wait for a piece to come along that I really love than to settle. Which is why there is a big blank wall in my dining room area! I keep waiting to find something I love. Congratulations and thanks for sharing these lovely pictures!

    I have been following on IG – I was wondering if you would eventually share things here. LOVE what you have done! It’s gorgeous. How exciting.

    I am so jealous! I especially love the spacious kitchen and the outside patio area. I also love the flooring in your master bathroom. Overall, I love the look of your new house!

    It is beautiful and every room is a perfect backdrop for any party! I love white, too and wish I could move and build such a beautiful home! xoxo

    I hate to keep bugging you, but I was wondering what material you used for your sofas. Is it the brushed canvas in white? Thanks.

    Beautiful home! Can you tell me the paint color of your kitchen cabinets & entryway millwork? Again, beautiful
