As much fun as designing a house is, decorating little kids rooms is seriously one of my favourite parts.  I know this stage of life is fleeting, so I’m taking full advantage of this opportunity to let my imagination and design choices run wild.  Adeline will be turning two shortly after we move so I want to design a whimsical space that will grow with her.  I decided on a bohemian desert theme for her first big girl room and I can’t wait to make this space magical for her.

I have been hinting for what feels like years that we were building a new home but due to a seemingly never ending list of setbacks our home building project was delayed time and time again.  Finally, I have an update post for you all.

We officially broke ground on our new house in spring of this year, and since then it has been an absolute whirlwind of activity. The basement was dug, the walls went up and now even the roof has shingles on it.  From experience however, this is the part of the build where progress seems to slow down and things seem to look the same for weeks on end while necessities such as plumbing, venting and electricity are slowly snaked through the walls.  With windows delayed yet another month, now seemed like a good time to sit down and document our experience thus far with our home build.
