This Weeks Inspiration:
Camper Living Inspiration: Check out Ashley (@arrowsandbow) on instagram if you want to see what our life WOULD'VE been like if I was super trendy with decorating the camper and not such a wimp about showering once a week and having to haul off our crap.
Home Decorating Inspiration: I finally settled on a style and it's going to be most like Morgan's (@thewhitefarmhouseblog) on instagram. I don't know what you'd call it but I'm going with Modern Farmhouse Chic. Farmhouse style in a farmhouse, I know, I'm original!
... and uhh did you know that H&M has home decor? uhhhh ya, it does {insert fist pump here}!
A lot has happened since my last post... in 2016. Whoops! Sorry, I haven't posted in a while.
I'll catch you up real quick...
We moved into and out of our fifth wheel. We lived in it for a year and that was enough for me. During that time, we found our dream home - a farmhouse built in 1910 on just under four acres. The former owners did a bang up job of maintaining the thing... please sense my sarcasm! It's been quite a head scratcher with some of the design choices they made but we are slowly making it our own.
Decorating has been the biggest challenge for me. We got rid of all our furniture with the exception of a bed, a dresser & just dining room chairs when we downsized before we moved into the camper. So that's all the furniture we had when we moved into our house. We went from a fully furnished 33 ft to a barely furnished 3,800 square feet.
I'm drowning.
You'd think choosing all new furniture would be fun but it hasn't been for me. I like way too many styles and color pallets and I am having a hard time picking one and sticking to it. And I have this OCD where I have to see the furniture piece in the space to know if it's going to work or not. This disorder is driving my husband nuts! I finally, after two months, chose a couch but am having buyer's remorse about it. We ordered it four weeks ago and we've got two more weeks to go before it'll be here. I'm praying it looks right in the living room otherwise it's going back to the store & we'll have to sit in camp chairs even longer while I start my nonsensical "process" of choosing a couch again. Hubs will not be happy about this.
Along with all the decorating stress, the house did give us a nice 'welcome' with a pipe bursting in our upstairs master bathroom a few weeks ago. It flooded our main floor and basement but thankfully there was only minor damage to the main floor. We'll be getting a nice insurance check to fix all the damages and do a little updating. Right now, we've got walls opened up and flooring pulled out & we are watching our step at every turn. Hence, the lack of photographs of the house in this post.
The guys from the restoration company will be coming by on Monday morning to hopefully get all their junk from the demo out. I'll try to get some pictures posted of the house sometime next week so you all can see it. I have some posted on my Instagram (@iamkerrirose) if you want to check them out.
In the meantime, do any of you happen to know Joanna Gaines? If so, please tell her a sister needs her help.
xoxo, kerri
