Finally, on Friday, papers were signed and the house is officially ours. Well, officially the bank’s, for us to repay on a monthly basis, but in any case, we are happy to be homeowners in the fine state of Wisconsin.
My favorite feature of our new house is how bright it is. Our California house has always felt so dark to me, but this new house is full of huge windows and, added to the open concept floor plan, makes for a very bright home. This is the living room:
I have been debating two-story curtains, but I think I am going to live in the house for a bit before I make a final decision. If I do decide on them, they would be something very neutral, maybe a silk dupioni. I like the idea of neutrals with mixed metals for the living room, I came up with something like this:
I have the two peacock prints, which have warm teals, golds, and touches of rust, good starting points for a nice, cohesive palette.
We are in California for a few more days, packing up our home, and then we will be making a road trip to our new home. Stay tuned for more of our adventures!

Happy exciting times!! I am wishing you guys all the best in your new home! xx
Thank you, chica, planning out trip right now 😀
Congrats on your new home! I can’t quite tell, but it looks like a beautiful view from those windows. And I love the peacock prints: I agree they’re a terrific starting point.
