I'm the happiest girl alive right now! I have a new husband. I'm getting ready to graduate from college...AND....we just bought our first home! That's right...we are officially homeowners. I cannot tell you how exciting this is. After what seemed like years of looking, we have finally found a perfect house for our little family. We're redoing the floors, painting, and some other small renovation right now, but we should be able to move in by the end of the month.

I'm so anxious to finally have our own place. After years of living in rentals with white walls and beige carpeting, I am so excited to have a place to make our own. Attempting to get my hubby to sign off on some of my ideas, however, is not exactly easy. I want to paint our kitchen cabinets white. My husband thinks painting wood is a mortal sin. He says I'll ruin the perfectly good cabinets if I paint them. Perfectly good? Perfectly ugly and orange-ish is more like it. Trust me...they're far from perfect. And everyone loves white cabinets. I mean look at this.

How adorable is that? I guess he just doesn't see my vision. I've been googling white cabinets all week long, and I have found lots of serious inspiration.

My adorable hubby also refuses to paint stripes on my daughter's wall. He says it would take too much time and effort, especially when we'll probably be painting it again within a year or two. What a party pooper.

I'll keep you updated on the ongoings with our new home and the outcome of the decorating feud. I'm sure Bell and I will win out sooner of later.
