By now great deals of people have had a possibility to see the makeover of our bit new/old home out in Oshawa, Ontario. You’ve seen the befores, you’ve seen the afters. You’ve seen the DIYs, the old wallpaper as well as the crazy thrifty sofa for $100. You’ve seen Sara as well as I transform an old home into our extremely own home.
And that’s been the very best part — building a home. I’m not truly inspired by having the very best of the very best or the newest, flashiest must-have when it concerns decorating. I believe in producing areas for living. That’s what we’ve tried to achieve, as well as it will take years as well as years to continue to layer as well as edit as well as bring ‘us’ to the surface in each room.
So to wrap up the tale of our home’s transformation, right here are a few moments from the past year where we got to the very best part of our new home — just living in it.
Like cutting flowers from the backyard garden for a laid-back bouquet in a jug.
Or strolling with the regional park — just a stone’s throw from our house.
Trying out new colour combos as well as piecing the spaces together.
And coming house from flea markets with a cars and truck full of goodies that just needed a new home.
How about baking a cake for my mom’s birthday party? It was so excellent to hold in our own dining space as well as utilize that swingy door I like so much. It makes for a extremely outstanding birthday-cake-with-candles presentation.
Our extremely very first Christmas in our extremely very first home was exciting, as well as I believe it looked very cute!
In the summertime we had breakfasts with household in the dappled light of the backyard. My nephew even spied an elaborate spider’s web clinging to our tree.
There were great deals of times with good friends congested in for dinner — like Sara’s birthday total with pompom designs as well as streamers.
And the excitement of seeing the tulips as well as daffodils planted last autumn come up with the earth this spring.
It’s been a fantastic very first year in our home as well as as every day passes, as well as much more memories are made, it’s really transforming from home to home.
