A little window into our new apartment. // We are totally unpacked, and the last of the decorating is happening right now. It feels so good to be in a larger space with gorgeous natural light. And an accent wall in the living room… chocolate brown… can I just say I wouldn’t have selected that color but I am SO GLAD it’s painted that exact color? Because I totally am glad. It’s gorgeous and all of our thrifted things look so wonderful with it :) Now that all of the hard work is done with moving I am exhausted. Does that happen to you? You find enough energy to tackle a huge project, but as soon as it’s over you crash? It’s a good week to be crashing… my mom is here so we’re sipping our morning coffee together and talking lots and Maxwell is receiving over a hundred compliments a day :D It’s lovely having her here. (Hi, mom!) I’m so glad it’s Wednesday. I’ve made it halfway through the week, fingers crossed for a smooth sailing through Friday, then it’s the weekend. Hooray! I’m looking forward to exploring the church that’s across the street from us come Sunday morning…

Your new home is looking so sweet! enjoy your downtime with your mom ;)
Your new home looks charming already. I love that you are wasting no time decorating!
@Jenna Lou, Thank you ♥
Yay for more space and being done unpacking! I hope you have a great rest of the week!
Ahhh, good for you on the unpacking! It’s nice to push through and then be able to enjoy. Have fun with your mama!
It looks great! I know you’re enjoying the extra space and natural light.
It looks so sweet! I’ve never commented before but Im a big follower of your blog and etsy shop! :)
@Hannah, thank you Hannah :D
seriously?! all unpacked…I’m still not even halfway unpacked and I’ve been here for a few months now…so sad.
love how happy everyone looks. and sweet Bauer looks so comfy.
@reeve, wellllllll, we don’t have that much stuff, it’s a blessing and a curse ;D can’t wait to listen to your CD!!!!!
It seems like we are always moving at the same time! :) When you were moving out to California I was heading out to Washington and I also just moved within Seattle this past week. I know exactly what you mean about getting a big project done. The day after we moved all of our boxes I unpacked every single one and put the important things away. Now I’m looking for the motivation to do the decorating-which is not one of my strengths. Wish me luck! I’m glad to see you’re all settled in your new place!
@Jessica Angel, How exciting! We’re like moving twins :) It’s easy for me to decorate the exact way as before, so it was fun to challenge myself and try something new.
I’m in Missouri, my parents have lived in Arcadia since 1986. We visited February 2012, part of me misses it. I lived there 86-88. I love exploring the LA area, it’s magical!
I love the FlapJacks picture above your stove!! Where’s it from?
@Dana, it’s from Lori Danelle and the frame is Ikea :D
Where is that kitchen print from? I LOVE it. So happy you guys are happy in the new space!
@Jennifer Blake (@_jenniferblake), Thanks Jennifer!!! The print is from Lori Danelle and the frame is Ikea. ♥
Where did you get the You Are My Sunshine print? I must have.
Your apartment looks so cool. I love everything about it, especially the people living in it :) and Bauer of course.
@Gretchen Gonzales, my mom got it for Max, I think she bought it in Michigan… I’ll check with her :)
I am so impressed you are all the way unpacked. I still have things in boxes and I hit my year mark yesterday.
Did you get a separate room for the baby? My daughter is a couple months younger and we’re still sharing a room so I’m curious about other peoples situations.
@Haley, wellllll, we didn’t have much to unpack since we don’t have a lot in general. We are in another 1 bedroom, it’s what our budget allows so we make it work :) thankfully Max is sleeping through the night now, so we’re all getting better sleep ♥
@Gussy Sews, that is encouraging that it is working out. Everybody thinks I’m crazy that we’re not moving into a bigger apartment ASAP.
Sweet! We have an accent wall that’s chocolatey brown, too! It’s very dramatic and we love it. Hope you’re enjoying time with your mama! Cheers to a restful week :) xo Joy
So charming. Isn’t it so awesome when Grandma’s come to town?!
Just beautiful! I love it!
I love your apartment!!
Would you say me where you bought the crib?
Regards from Spain :)
@Nani, it’s a crib by Stokki :)
@Gussy,
Thank you :)
Your new space is charming and classic, with a hint of fun! I love it!! And that baby is precious!! I am loving my new Gussy Sews zipper pouch and cant wait for the Oct one!! Susan
It looks wonderful!
Your new place looks bright :-) I prefer bright natural light as well. I always have the blinds open. Must be nice to be completely unpacked. Boy, I know the feeling!
I totally know what you mean about a wall color that just so happens to be perfect . We used to live in a place that had these green walls that were painted by our previous roommates. At a glance the swatch makes it look a little too much on the yellow side of green, but the entire living and dining rooms and kitchen we painted in this green and I absolutely LOVED it. In fact, I miss it and I wish we could paint our current place in the exact same color.
paint our current place in the same green.
Enjoy your new home :-)
