Spring-Home-Wifey Things

I am so relieved that it is finally spring here in Michigan. The weather has been great- and only getting better- which means more weekends outside, grilling out a TON, and freshening up the house a bit.

This spring already has brought some changes into the Gilbert household. Not only are we expecting a little one after this upcoming warm-weather season- but we are moving out of our little west-side home. I had kind of giving up on the idea of moving and started to be okay with it and then we got the offer we were looking for on our house- so if all goes according to plan we will be moving mid-summer. All the details still have to be sorted out and this is a very fresh development- but I am excited for the change- and excited to see what God has in store for our little family!

Now that I know it is VERY possible that we really will be moving I am looking at some fun decorating ideas and thought I would share some of what I have been finding....

I want a simple. functional. and -dare I say- decorated home. It doesnt have to be expensive- actually I dont want to spend much at all, but I want a warm looking/feeling home.

Here are some Inspirations for my next place:
SIGNAGE:

I have been obsessed with these signs for a minute. and I am set on doing a project like this on my maternity leave. Don't hold me to it- I may end up caving and buying one- but I know I would love a handmade touch like this in my kitchen.


ORGANIZATION:

I have lovely woven baskets from my bridal shower that just sit on my floor in my living room. I need to use them like this to optimize my storage. I love this look and its functional.


SMARTER:

I have a black haired dog. In my next home I vow to buy darker rugs and darker bedspreads. Because Rex will find it and dirty it. My Point being- I am choosing my pet-friendly and children-friendly decorations for my next home.

BABY BOY:

I am looking for ideas for the little man's room. I am excited to mix Jake's preferences and mine to come up with a great space for our baby boy! He loves Rustic and I love a good old classic room- but we will make it look fab I'm sure!

I hope you enjoyed looking at a couple things that will Strongly inspire my new home!

On a side note-
Wifey things: As I am realizing that the quality alone time I get with my sweetie will be cut down drastically after the baby we are working on spending that time now as much as possible! I am so grateful for these times. and treasuring every.single.minute. and reminding myself when I'm not- that I need to!
I am a blessed woman and grateful for my man :)
