My new house, unrated.
Friday, Feb 24, 2012 29 Comments This week has been cuckoo with the move, the Rue/gap shoot and two outdoor makeover shoots for hgtv.com (one i have to run to in like 5 minutes)
But i figured i'd take quick litte iphone pics of the house as is. Not styled, kinda messy actually. But its progress and it might satisfy somebody's inner voyeur.
Walls have been painted (white diamond, Benjamin moore) and otherwise stuff is roughly thrown into place. THere is a grumpy man on the sofa, however. Smile, Brian, 'til friday after all.
Our bedroom. Still deciding on a king bed, so for now this is our queen (which will go into the guest as soon as i decide). Yes, we have awesome Dwell bedding and a dope rugs usa rug. I'm getting new lamps (custom shades being ordered) and i want an amazing upholstered headboard, but i found an awesome wood one at good will last week that i might paint for now. I'm over my DIY headboard.
Not a lot of progress in here yet. It's going to be the guest bedroom (come visit us!!...well, not everyone at once). It's painted 'Aegean Teal' and i love it. Super warm and cozy.
My office, which needs help (they all need help) but i love it already just because its so full of light. West Elm Dining table, but i like it as my grand desk. Because i am very fancy and grand, indeed.
Must run. But i figured people love seeing 'in progress' stages. Excuse the extremely terrible iphone photos and complete lack of styling. I lost my good camera so i'm waiting to get another one, and then i'll be taking some amazing photos then.
And don't forget about the gold rush collection on sale on OpenSky
All on sale starting today!!!!

there is nothing more exciting, exhausting or invigorating than moving house and home (particularly when a home office is involved.)
congratulations on your new digs. all the kinks will be ironed out sooner than you think!
I'm so eager to see your new place taking shape. Love "in progress" stuff. Gives you a more "human" air ;)
Congratulations on your move! Such beautiful windows in your living room. Hope it feels like home in no time.
Love it. I'll be fighting the urge to go rug shopping now for WEEKS.
I can understand how you feel about moving but everything will come together before you know it. Too bad you can't be Sam on Bewitched...twitch your nose and it's done!
Fun! Moving is a pain, but its satisfying seeing everything slowly come together to make a beautiful home - or at least I think so! Thanks for the sneak peek.
I {heart} you, Emily, for taking a picture of your un-made bed!!!!!!!!!!!! It is what I love most about you!
Thanks for sharing Emily. Looks super awesome already! Love being able to watch your work in progress!
Could you take a better photo of the peacock artwork when you have time? I'd like to see it more up close. I also love the couch and chairs in the living room, and I think that the house is swell.
Thanks for sharing. I love your style
I love it already! I have that exact dwellstudio bedding and I love it! It is sooooooo soft and cozy!
I'm looking forward to seeing how you make this space into your home!
Thanks for sharing! We're military, so I'm always moving and trying to figure out what to use, where to use it...it's hard, but in the end, you'll love the new pad! Enjoy!
Thank you for swallowing pride and sharing these. So many dwellish folks never share their own spaces because they are not perfect (whose is?!) and it really helps to know you are human, you are in progress, and you have ideas. Cheers and can't wait to keep seeing it!
Thanks for sharing your "in progress" photos. It looks great so far! Can't wait to see the finished look in the future.
Happy Friday!
What a happy space! You are blessed.
I spy the dog painting that sat behind you on SFAS. I am completely obsessed with that dog painting!
LOVE the OpenSky stuff, it's hurting my heart that I can't buy it from Canada! I MUST have that work lamp. Can't seem to find anywhere else to buy it that might ship to me! :(
Emily, it's coming along nicely! I just bought my first place here in Detroit, and can't wait to get inside and start fixing it up! I think our styles are very similar so I look forward to checking out the progress of your new digs. Congrats girl!
The office looks like it has so much potential, great light in there! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Love! Can you tell me where the rug that's in the teal room is from?
Natalie: Teal room rug looks like Nate Berkus for HSN.
Congratulations on your new place. I love seeing your in progress shots, thanks for sharing. Your living room and office rugs look eerily similar to an antique rug I have. Can't wait to see finished shots to see how you tie it all together in typical Emily fashion. The aegean teal looks great too -- I'm a sucker for teal, my favorite color.
Well, this explains the peacock post. Your living room looks amazing and you just moved in . . .how? I'm obsessed with your peacock painting - beautiful. And way to be spontaneous and share right away even just with iphone photos - I know we'll get fancy photos later and this just makes for some fun reading.
Fantabuloso. Thanks for sharing!
