Our First Home!

Greetings from Atlanta! That's right...this is my first post from our new home in Atlanta, specifically in the neighborhood of Vinings. After a year of house searching (and our patient realtor Leigh) we found a place that we loved and were ready to call home! We closed on our new home and moved in two weeks ago! It was bittersweet to say goodbye to Jamie and Young Harris, but we are excited to be back in the city with our closest friends and family.

 These pics were taken our last night in Young Harris...We sat on the back porch and said our goodbye to our sweet girl. I only cried a little bit.

I love our new little neighborhood... we are in the heart of Vinings and have the privilege of walking to so many neat little restaurants and shops! It's considered a historical district of Atlanta and has so much charm!

Moving was quite stressful, but we could not have managed to do it without the help of family! This being our first move as a married couple, we learned that moving two people after accumulating wedding gifts and furniture is much different then moving one single person (aka a bedroom suite).

(Quick Side Note: I cannot thank our family and friends enough for all of our wonderful wedding gifts! We haven't been able to open/use most of them because our cabin was fully loaded and furnished in Young Harris. It was like Christmas morning opening all of our boxes of gifts during the move! We have LOVED being able to use our new appliances, kitchenware, vases, towels, bedding, frames, etc! We feel so spoiled and that's thanks to all of you!)

A (much needed) champagne toast with our helpful movers after a long day of moving! Celebrating our first night in our new home!

I know you're dying to see it....so here are pictures of our new home! Please keep in mind, we are not completed yet! There are still lamps to be bought, pictures and curtains to be hung! However....we are slowly but surely getting there!

 Walking in from the front door...The dining room/kitchen is to the right. Living room straight ahead. Laundry room/Guest bathroom is to the left.

 Left of entryway: Guest bathroom at the end of the hallway. Laundry closet to the left.

Laundry area.

 

Straigh ahead from entryway: Living room and countertop.

 Right of entrway: Dining Room. Definitely in need of wall decor!

 We plan to cover the dining room seats with this fun and funky Waverly geometric pattern!

 This little nook is across from the kitchen and the countertop. Eventually we'll get a lamp (and candlesticks, obvi). For now it's our homage to Rosemary Beach. (Yes, we have gone a little wedding picture crazy...but can you blame us?! This is the first time we've been able to print them and hang them in our own place!)

 Countertop and bar stools.

 Kitchen.

 Other view of kitchen and dining room.

 Our living room. It's so cozy and comfortable...I love the way it turned out! I got some really cool burlap curtains and a burlap lampshade from Ballard Backroom.

 This is my favorite accent pillow!

 Vern's new toy... just in time for football season!

 Master Bedroom. Obviously we haven't hung pictures yet, but I love how it's coming together. Clayton went out on a limb and hired a painter for me. I LOVE the way the color looks! So serene.

 I about died when I found these lamps at Homegoods! They are the perfect color and add such a great print to the room!

 This was an old shelf of my mom's that I painted... I'll share the before/after pics in another post!

 My personal favorite part... the master bathroom.

 My side.

 My haven.

 Clayton's side.

 Our closet....and we still have room! I have never once been able to put both summer and winter clothes in one closet! This is ten times better than the closet (aka rack of clothes sitting in the guest room) I had in YH.

 Guest room. (The duvet is still packed at my mom's house....)

 More guest room.

 Guest room attaches to the hall bathroom.

 Guest bathroom.

 More guest bathroom.

We're ready for everyone to come see us for a visit! The guest room awaits all of you out-of-towners! We've been so busy moving and getting settled, and actually spent our first weekend in Auburn last weekend for the Clemson game! We're so excited to be able to rest and relax in our new home together this weekend!
