Building a house is stressful! The process has gone relatively smooth with only a few bumps in the road. However, as the newness unfolds before my eyes, I want to weep at the beauty of it. The way I can picture our son running around various spaces of the house and all the memories we will make there growing up is a true joy.

I’ve not done the best at keeping you all updated so this is one of many.

We are a lot further along than the pictures below and we’ve pretty much mapped out the design of each room. Here’s to hoping we aren’t that far off from moving in!

Things I’m loving and using a visual aids/guides for the design process:

• Magnolia.com
• Magnolia paint by Kilnz.
• The trusty Pinterest
• Pottery Barn. We love pottery barn around here.
