Just Moved In

Im very excited to share with you that I have just moved in to my Sweet Little Bungalow!

Just moved in to my new house / Restoration Hardware chair with Paris pillow - So Much Better With Age

I’m finally moved in! I still can’t believe it. I never thought the day would actually come. The renovation of the Sweet Little Bungalow has been completed and I’ve been moved in for about two weeks now.

I’m still unpacking so I’m not ready for a full house tour yet but I will share with you today a few snippets of some areas around the house.

It’s a much smaller house than my previous house but it’s feeling a lot like home already. My kids said the same thing. It feels cozy. And that’s a nice feeling to finally have.

There is still stuff on the countertops that need putting away but I thought you might be dying to see a few sneak peeks of my kitchen.

The week before I moved into my house, I went away on a girl’s trip to Santa Monica. We had an amazing time relaxing, eating and shopping. I’ll share photos of that trip with you soon.

Two weeks after I moved in, I’m packing again to go to France. I’m off to Heather Bullard’s The Academy in the Dordogne region of France. After that I’ll be heading to Paris!! It’s only my second time in Paris, third time in France. This time I’ll be prepared with new photography skills. I cannot wait.

There’s no way I like my life planned to the hilt like this. I didn’t know when I would be moving when I had these trips planned so I just had to work around it.

I haven’t been posting much lately but you will be inundated with photos and posts from my trips and my house starting in June.

Currently, my blog is going through a whole site redesign as well! An entirely new rebranding is being done by Reni at Bliss & Tell. I’m re-evaluating my values and goals for my blog as well as my life. It’s been exciting and a bit daunting at the same time. There will be lots happening on the horizon which is a good thing.

Sometimes you just have to roll with it. I’m a planner but like to have a lot of ‘space’ around each event happening in my life. A move is a serious stress inducer and it would have been nice to be fully unpacked and then think about a trip to France but life just doesn’t work like that sometimes. I have to hit pause and just go.

I’m so excited to learn from such an amazing creative and editorial stylist as Heather Bullard.

I will be sure to blog all about it!

Au revoir!

    Jamie I can’t wait for June to see it all. What fun watching each step you take in both your life and your design. Sometimes two steps forward one step back, but you always have this amazing ability and strength to learn and move forward. I’m in my 60’s, and I would just like to give you a motherly hug and tell you how proud I am of you. Your honesty about your personal life and your design sense and talent make me a loyal follower of your blog. Have a wonderful time in France. Be a sponge and have fun. Miss your posts.

    The kitchen looks so good! I recently got an apartment in New York and was thinking about hiring this startup called Furnishr (http:/furnishr.com/) to furnish it; what do you think? I would love to get some of your feedback!

They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
