Our mom’s have been asking to see photos of our new house — and so have you all! When we have things the way we want them I’ll take more photos and share…
It’s so exciting to be all moved in and working away. And cooking dinner… except that’s only happened 1 time this week… Yikes.
Every time I call the back work room “the sewing room” Zack corrects me and says “the Gussy room”. He’s so sweet to say that and give me a room for all things ruffled. And a separate room for my ruffles… yes, I realize I’m spoiled. Ahem.
I couldn’t wait to sew, so Monday morning Zack found me in there before I drove him to work. Call me crazy, but I love this house! {And my new workroom!}
Things are picking up and I need to stay organized. I’ve found myself making shopping lists here and there. Lots of things for the office: sticky notes, paper trays {printer paper & shipping label paper}, hanging file folders, etc.
And here’s a picture of our living room —
{Haha — looks like I have a stray lamp to put away.}
I’m so in love with the colors paired with the hardwood floors. And the 22 windows {compared to the 3 that were in our apartment!}
Share with us: What do you love about your home?
I love my house! I have worked very hard to get it in the condition it is in today, and as all of my friends are just now starting to buy houses of their own, I think to myself, “Wow. I sure wouldn’t want to buy that house, it needs a LOT of work!” Then I remember how much work my house needed back when I bought it and realize it’s just a process you go through to make something your own.
ack! love it! i love the contrast between the old wood and vintage style and your modern furniture – so fun!
I LOVE that red couch!!! Absolutely love it! Don’t you love hardwood floors?
oh, it looks beautiful! buuuut, that is a LOT of windows to clean :)
It’s beautiful, Gussy girl. What beautiful original woodwork!
#1 – i LOVE this house! gorgeous wood floors and trim and wow. so pretty.
#2 – TWENTY-TWO window? that is excellent lighting.
#3 – I love the milk jug full of water for the iron! i hate having to walk back an forth to fill up my iron cup all the time! im definitely going to start doing this.
darling, that’s distilled water bought by the gallon — absolutely no tap water for MY iron :]
what a great house!!! you’ve decorated it so beautifully!! :)
Love that living room with the stain glass window and columns in the doorway! It looks great! Can’t wait to see more pictures!
Oops! I meant “stained glass!”
It is looking so lovely! I can’t wait to see more!
xoxo~Meg
Wow! I LOVE all the woodwork and the columns!!! And the blue paint is pretty too. So what I love about my (rental house) is kinda funny, but I love that it has NO popcorn on the ceiling!!! Our last home had popcorn and I cant explain how much cleaner it makes me feel to see a nice flat ceiling. It also has high ceilings and pretty while molding. :)
haha, I just looked up at our ceiling after reading your comment :] I like not having popcorn ceilings, too!
And yes, 9-feet walls are amazing :]
The woodwok and columns are GORGEOUS! Love it!

GORGEOUSNESS. You don’t even need to decorate a house like that, it is beautiful just as it is!!
wow!! your new digs look amazing! love all that molding!!
we live in an apartment (and like you we only have 3 windows) i’m loving the fact that this isn’t permanent. someday we will get a house. and i’m hoping that we’ll have 22 windows too :)
xo,
christen
I LOVE your house! The yellow chairs and red couch! A Gorgeous house for a Gorgeous Gussy! :)
I love my bed spread and pillows, lol! I don’t know if that counts for something I love about my house though!
I love it! Congrats and I hope you really enjoy it!
Can I live in your house, too? Oh yeah, and bring my husband and soon to be 2 kiddos? We’ll totally help out around the house…promise…
wow! Gussy your house is gorgeous:) I love the red couch against the hard wood. stunning. :) smiles, gina
I just can’t get over the wonderful light you have! Simply gorgeous! Glad you are getting settled in!
I’m so excited for you to have so much more space! I’ve had my own sewing room and there’s nothing like it. And you have such nice woodwork!
I love that our townhouse is just the right size. It’s not too much to clean, but it’s not too small to accommodate everything we need. It’s also nice that I can have potted plants, but the community’s service cuts the tiny little front lawn.
We still have no house or apartment of our own (yes, after almost 2 years of marriage!). It totally stinks but we’re blessed with 2 families who love us enough to let us live in their homes and what I love about that is that our houses always have people in them who we love so much!
Gussy, it’s nothing short of amazing, it “feels” so homey and this is only in pictures, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I are renting a small house. At first I didn’t like it, but now, with a dog and two kittens, it’s always full of life and love.
Oh…22 windows! Hurray! {I am a huge fan of natural light…}
Congrats on the new place, Gussy + hubs! :)
Your house is so beautiful! I love it! Also, thanks for the budgeting tips series, BTW. I thought it was really helpful!
hey,
Your house looks amazing!!!! all the hard work will be worth it in the end :)
Bet you carnt wait to get your sewing room sorted…
claire xox
The house looks phenom! I couldnt be happier for you! Im completley extatic that you have a ruffled room all to yourself! that make such a huge difference in every aspect of creating! Congrats – Im anxious to see your progress!
XO
The house is looking great! You get fantastic natural light, something so hard to come by. Anything will look good when you bathe it in sunshine!
Since you asked, the thing that I love most about my house is that it is totally us. Almost everything in it has meaning or was made by one of us. We have worked hard to have a put-together, totally livable house that keeps up with 2 kids and a dog. Life is good there. :)
You’re very talented! You DESERVE to have your working space. I hope that your house turns out beautiful!
Oh my goodness… I can just tell from your living room pic that your house (or… let’s call it a home: that sounds nice) ;) has such charming architecture!! I’m all about the architectural elements!

Let’s see… our home? … my faves: the hardwood floors (and, I love that they are wider planks)… that it’s brick & traditional (big, white columns, 4 porches [upstairs & down])…the fact that we actually have some brick on the inside of the house too (didn’t know if I’d like it when the house was being built… but now, it’s totally one of my faves!)…the kitchen! (love the kitchen)…and… you know I have to mention it … THE VINTAGE CLAWFOOT TUB! (yeah. I’m obsessed.) … but, I think my #1 fave is that we have so much land: 20 acres of it – and it’s pretty much all wooded … seems so magical ;)
girl, it’s gorgeous! love, love, love it! can’t wait to see more!
i love your hardwood floors! and as many also said, AWESOME red couch!!
things i love about my house. i just love the way it looks from the outside. my fav room is my bedroom; we just had that painted a deep gray color….and all white bedding and accessories. it’s like sleeping in a big gigundous really super comfy hotel bed EVERY night!
i love my island in my kitchen also……but i still say the kitchen could ALWAYS be bigger!!!
congrats on the new house! looks like it’s all coming together nicely!
Sew pretty! Love it!
