Kate's New Place: Before Photos

Like so many people during this crazy time, I have found myself constantly reevaluating nearly every aspect of my life recently. Kate here, and today I’m excited to share the news that I’m moving into a new place this month! As you can see from the pics in this post, we are currently living in a sea of cardboard boxes.

Today I’m sharing a few initial before photos of our new home, but soon I’ll be writing a much more in-depth post about all my best moving tips (plus the many mistakes we made!) so stay tuned for more coming soon.

Clearly you’ll notice that Nola, our rescue pup, is already making herself at home here. To be totally honest she’s pretty confused about the whole process given that we’ve only had her for about three months, but it’s been fun to introduce her to her new neighborhood and let her explore a little!

While purging a bunch of stuff from my home office last week, I came across a bunch of old hard drives with all my photos from the past decade.

Once I had a chance to look through all of the ways I’ve decorated my home over the years I wanted to share a post about all the design and decor dos and don’ts that these places have taught me! I’ve definitely learned a lot along the way, but going through all of these photos makes me excited to see how my style will continue to develop and change in the future.
