A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams

Well it's been over a month now that we have been in our new house. We hadn't put anything on these brand new walls until my mom came for a visit to help decorate and make it our home. It was an exhausting week of shopping and decorating, but it paid off our house is now our home and we have a good start on the transformation. My dad even drove down on his Harley for the weekend to help Chip hang up all of the great stuff we found! I am very excited about of the few pieces I found this week and got a steal on some of them which makes it all better!! The red R above the tv is actually a vintage outside letter and my tree I got for 75% off an love it!! We added the flowers which make it better. The empty frame with the sign collage will be painted in the middle and then family will be in the center of that. I love that I am into the flea market/shabby chic style because it's always so much fun when my mom and my grandma and I get together we are always on a treasure hunt for one another. I love the character of old stuff and having unique things that other people were done with- their trash turns into my treasure. We all have the memories of going together for the day having lunch in a cute little downtown and talking about all of the treasures we have found. That's what I like about this style- The memories of making our house our home!!!
