celebrations and anxiety

We can officially commence our move-in countdown! Seven weeks from today we’ll be closing on our new house and officially moving in. It seems somewhat surreal that in mere weeks we’ll be packing, unpacking and beginning to figure out how to turn our new house into a home.

I’m ecstatic about moving in … and also a little overwhelmed. I feel like we’ve made a lot of decisions and have made a lot of purchases, but I’m still worried everything will look disconnected and unpolished. I just really want our house to look amazing and I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself with every decision we’ve made and every item we’ve purchased to make sure our house is perfection. And I know it won’t be, and I know that there will still be things we need to buy and changes we want to make … I’m just hung up on every individual detail and what it means and how it looks. Seriously people, it keeps me awake at night. And don’t even get me started on landscaping. That needs a post all on its own.

But decision anxiety aside, I can’t wait to watch all our design selections get installed in our house over the next seven weeks. We’re starting to get to the fun stuff with tile, flooring, etc. and I think it will help ease my fears that we’ve made a ton of crap decisions. We saw a sneak peek of our master bathroom tile (which we upgraded) and it looks AMAZING! The standard tile is also installed in our laundry room and guest bath and looks pretty darn good for being a “free” option. The only thing I wish we would have done is to have gone with a darker grout – a taupe or light grey. But it still looks amazing.

Photos will be posted soon, but in the meantime, here’s a recent shot of stone being installed on the front of our house.
