long time no see!



Hey! Long time, no see. I mean on this blog at least - I've still been posting things on social media so maybe it's not long time no see, maybe you literally just saw my instagram stories earlier tonight!

Anyway, a lot has happened since my last post when I was giddy with excitement over my cup holder bags and mere months away from getting the keys to an actual real life house. I spent most of the last two years knee-deep in decorating projects and making my house the most fun, colorful, retro, happy PINK house that I possibly could! I made the den into a home theater complete with a 90s inspired patterned carpet, I turned my guest room into a time-travel room that was a replica of my childhood bedroom! I had cat doors for Arrietty everywhere and pink carpeting upstairs. I covered the kitchen in a fun retro pink flower power wallpaper and made an arcade in my basement. It was so fun! 

I had to put the house up for sale this past summer (long story, you can read more here) and it officially closed on Friday. I just realized that most of the photos of my house that have been circulating around the internet for the last 6 months all came from the Realtor listing so I wanted to post them here and give them a real home 💖 

I'll break this up into a few posts so it's not like a hundred photos at once! Let's start with the kitchen! This might be the room that changed the most over the ~2 years I lived there. I had a hard time getting it perfect, but by the time these photos were taken I was finally completely, totally happy with how it looked. I loved the color scheme, the fun wallpaper, the mismatched color chairs, and my checkered rug. It was just SUCH a happy room!
