A peek at our new house

Would you like to have a tour of our new house??? Well, maybe not a full tour just yet; there's still alot of boxes everywhere. How about just one room? I finally got the bedroom free of boxes and cleaned for the first time since we moved in so I took a few pictures (although the hall outside the bedroom is a little insane...ahem).

It's amazing how just having one clean room in the house makes me feel so much more sane. I'm hoping that if I say that this a "Home Tour" that I'll be motivated to get the rest of the house photo-worthy. Although I've found that truly the BEST way to get your whole house clean in a short period of time is to throw a party. Which is exactly what I am doing next weekend for Clementine's birthday, haha. I'm not stressed at ALL about this, no I am not, la la la la la...ACK!!! Anyway.

At first I wasn't sure about this pale minty green wall color, normally I'm more of a warm bright hues kinda girl. Then last weekend I found that amazing patchwork quilt at Nate's grandma's house and took it home with me (no worries, they've moved to assisted care and I found it in the stuff they didn't want. Didn't want you to think I just randomly steal stuff from people's houses!!). It's not hand-sewn or anything so I doubt it has any family significance, but I love the greens and the little bit of pink thrown in there. Now that it's on the bed, the wall color is growing on me and I think it gives the room a cool calm feel.

Love this quilt!

Extra bonus: My jewelry is matching the room too! Wowzas, couldn't have planned that better if I tried.
