Luxe Decor: Christin's House Before and Afters

So it's been one year since we first saw (and fell in love with) our house.  Looking back over the past year has left me nostalgic for that exciting time when we started the house hunt, finally found our dream house and went under contract, had our closing date, made the move and started setting up home!  

The moment we found the house, I started my "inspiration binder".  This included before photos, floor plans, dimensions, inspiration photos and wish lists for new pieces.  I just recently looked through it again and was reminded of what incredible progress we've made in just a year!  While I still have a running list of more things I want to accomplish, it's good to put it into perspective and recognize how far we've come in a relatively short amount of time.

I'm sure you've seen most of these photos at some point throughout our blog posts, but who doesn't love "before and afters"?!  Here are some shots I took when we first looked at the house, and some shots of how it looks now after some love, attention and elbow grease!

Closing Date!

Today is our closing date!
The day we've been waiting 62 days for (but who's counting?).
The day we will get the keys to our very own home!

The real test of patience though, will come over the next week.  A week that will probably feel like an eternity as we have the floors and painting done, and I eagerly and anxiously await bringing in our furniture.  I CANNOT WAIT!

This has been a long, difficult process that we've prayed about, prepared for, and received wonderful support and encouragement and it's finally coming together.  We are so blessed.  God is so good!
