Tuesday’s Tribute-being settled

by Angie on July 7, 2009

This week I chose to Tribute the state of being settled.

It’s one of those things that I know I take for granted until I’m un-settled. And let me tell you, this move has been, well, unsettling. Jeff and I have worked our hind ends off, and it’s all finally come together.

We are offically moved in, and all that is left to do are finishing touches……a lot of finishing touches. But still.

So, by popular request, I present to you MY state of settled:

(I thought I was being pretty snazzy by putting text on my pictures……I just didn’t realize it was such small text. So, you might have to double click the images to read my commentary.)


See, lots of proof that I adore brown.
AND
Being Settled.

Angie! Everything looks SO good girl! I can see how much work you've put into this home and now it's just looking wonderful. I can't wait to see it with all the rest of your tweaking! Hey, you didn't show the kitchen!

Justine :o )

Beautiful! How do you manage to live in that Model Home with five kids??? I like brown too, and I am in AWE of all the WHITE you've incorporated! My kids would have that stained and ruined in no time flat! Truly impressive! =)

It's gorgeous Angie! You've got a great eye, I wish you lived closed enough to help me figure out what to do with my house too.

11 Amy July 7, 2009 at 10:24 am

Love the bedroom and table…

Looks amazing! You must be feeling very relieved. I'm so agitated when my house is unsettled and things are outta there places. Not the everyday mess I live in, because toys actually belong on the floor, don't they? It's the things are just not right feeling you get in the midst of a move that I can't stand. Congrats!

That is just beautiful!

14 Octamom July 7, 2009 at 12:38 pm

So glad that you are getting really 'moved' in–so thrilled for you! Everything is just beautiful–and I also have a 'thing' for brown!

Blessings!

29 3 Bay B Chicks July 7, 2009 at 9:57 pm

Am I seriously looking at pictures of your house, or is this a model home?

Do children live here?

I'm not buying it, Angie. Not for one minute.

Glad you're all settled.

34 Jenners July 8, 2009 at 1:54 am

Your home is gorgeous!! And so grown-up!! My house looks like kids designed and decorated it … and I'm pretty sure I'm older than you!

35 Elaine A. July 8, 2009 at 2:49 am

It looks just fantastic! I can not wait to be settled as well.
You have done a wonderful job and boy, I think i would do my blogging there too!!! COMMMMM-FY!

38 Brenda July 8, 2009 at 4:15 am

Its so fun to see pictures of your house, I especially like the new "blogging station" :)

39 Sera July 8, 2009 at 5:35 am

Seriously. Could your kids BE any cuter? I remember thinking some of those same thoughts the first time I visited Hollywood. I thought it would be all glitz and glamor, but I'll never forget some of the things I saw. It's quite an eye opener, and it sounds like you are teaching your kids some really important lessons early on.

40 Sera July 8, 2009 at 5:38 am

Please ignore my Mr. Linky here – I accidentally put it here first instead of WW. Sorry!

41 girlytwins July 8, 2009 at 2:48 pm

It looks gorgeous Angie. You have a wonderful flair for decorating. I am so happy you are finally settled in. I know it was a long ride :)

42 Nicole July 8, 2009 at 3:13 pm

I love your house!

43 Are You Serious! July 8, 2009 at 5:53 pm

44 gillian July 9, 2009 at 12:17 pm

where did you get your rug? i bought a similar one from Sam's but it sheds TERRIBLY! i have a newly crawling 6 month old daughter who I don't want eating wool, so i've been looking for a replacement.

45 Clark Captions July 9, 2009 at 2:00 pm

Love it Angie!! I love brown too!

46 Taryn July 9, 2009 at 10:16 pm
