Getting settled in Savannah

The month of April has been quite a whirlwind to say the least! Joe and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on April 11th, April 12th we closed on our new house, April 13th the moving truck delivered our things, April 14th mom and dad came to help us get the house together, April 16th was my birthday and on April 23rd my parents hit the road back to Ohio. My parents we so much help, I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they did, we are so loved! Joe was able to concentrate on his new job while we took care of everything else. We put cabinets in the laundry room, installed spot lights outside around the house, hung all our pictures and mirrors, and organized the garage as well as everything else! I'm looking forward to having may parents back to enjoy a much needed vacation. Here are a few pictures of the house, we are excited about painting the walls to make it feel a little more homey! So far, we are loving it!

I found this old Chinese cabinet in an antique store in downtown Savannah. Last year when we went to Hawaii we stayed at an estate that was fully furnished with this Chinese decor and I fell in love with it! I was so excited to find this and many other pieces I look forward to purchasing here. This piece was from the 1800's and I LOVE IT! My parents actually bought this for me for my birthday/housewarming gift! They are the BEST! The heart above it is made of driftwood from a local artist in Laguna, Joe and I wanted a little piece of Cali in our new home.
Kitchen, our new table...it's awesome! Best part is that it is high enough that the dogs can't beg...as easily that is!
 We were going to have a built-in added to this space until we found this awesome cabinet that fits perfectly! We had the top trimmed down a little to fit, but you can't tell at all. Best part is that we can take this piece with us down the road!

We have a "bonus room" that is on the second floor. It is big enough to be made into a media room and 3rd guest bedroom. I didn't take any pictures of the empty space, but it is going to be awesome one day!


 Dad and Gipper...our first visitors! Gip was such a good boy, he made himself right at home.

About Me

My photo
Savannah, Georgia, United States
I am a proud Ohio girl who for the past 4 1/2 years has lived in Irvine, California with my husband and 2 goldendoodles. We recently made a move to the East Coast to Savannah, GA. We are in the process of making this feel like "home" All three of them are the loves of my life! Joe and I started our photography business right after we got married in April and have been loving it! We enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories and going through their journey with them. Joe and I are excited for a bright future ahead and are enjoying every second of life! We miss our family and friends dearly and hope that by sharing our blog with them makes the distance between us seem a little less vast.
