3629 North State

 

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the tour I did in my Story of our backyard area. I meant to do more tours of the inside of our home, but never got around to it. Currently all of our stuff is packed away in boxes because we are moving to Maine, but I did get a few photos of our home (well, the rooms that were clean...) in the last few weeks of us living here before we started packing.

This was the first place I've lived without my parents. The walls are white, the floors are a dark wood, & the doorways are arched. It has that "old house smell". It sits on a busy road in the middle of Fondren. It is perfect, & I'm going to miss it so very much.

I get a lot of questions about our house & compliments (thank you!) on the way it's decorated. If you have any questions about a piece in our home & where it's from, feel free to ask below! Most everything in our home is from Target, Urban Outfitters, our parent's houses, or thrifted.

Last weekend we had a Christmas/house warming party in our new home. It was filled with good food, even better people, singing, drinks, sleepovers, corn hole, & 1 broken toilet. & I didn't take a single photo.

As a photographer, it bums me out to not have tangible memories of our wonderful first get together in our new place. But I started thinking about how freeing it was to not be snapping photos & just letting my phone sit there being our xmas music DJ the whole night. I'm sure my boyfriend will be thrilled to read this & the fact that I was satisfied not having my phone in my hand....

I'm sure he will be more satisfied to hear that I plan on ditching my phone for most of the holidays too. Sure, i'll whip that thing out at the first sighting of mountains when we get to Chattanooga next week. But as far as time spent with family, I plan on being present.

Christmas at 3629

Yes, this year we are totally those people that went Christmas crazy pre-maturely. I'm blaming it on the excitement of a new home...

Still in disbelief that this little place is ours! It is in the perfect location for us, our best friends live above us on the second floor, & we have the best landlord & neighbors. Now that i've officially started "adulating", I want to get into blogging more. Yes, i've said this a thousand times (cue eye roll), but for real y'all. I would love to do a little home tour when I feel like we've got almost everything squared away here. We've worked hardest on the living room I think (thank you Z for hanging literally everything while we sat on the couch..). It's just about done aside from some things like hanging our gallery wall, recovering the couch, etc.. I guess this post is sort of a living room tour in itself, plus a little splash of Christmas!!!
