drumroll please.






this is our new house in norfolk!! we are literally moving in today, so these are the "before" photos and i can't wait to share the "after" photos when i've had some time to nest/decorate/get settled/make it ours. as you know, this has been an exciting newlywed season for us (our one year anniversary is around the corner!) and i feel so blessed to be going through this with ryan. these past few days have given us a lot of inspiration for taking this blank slate of an adorable house and making it our home -- take a look back at the guest posts here, here, & here and my own inspiration here & here!
p.s. the last two vertical photos are of the ladder stairs to the attic & finished attic. can i tell you how excited i am about this storage space?! i about fell over the first time i saw it!
home sweet home
