If you have been keeping up with my Instagram lately, you know that our new home is moving along quickly. We now have drywall and the first coat of paint. Picking out paint colors was definitely a pain. With so much pressure to make a decision and all factors and opinions to consider, I definitely got major anxiety from it all. However, I see the final look in my mind and I am confident it will all come together in time.

As 2018 rolls in, I’m beginning to accumulate my thoughts and ideas on the vibe of our new home. The progress on our home has moved very quickly these past few months. (Prayers the weather continues to hold off so the advancement continues!) It is amazing to witness the transformation in such a short amount of time. For a while, we had a hole in the ground- now we have a beautiful home completely framed and roofed. P.S. I’m obsessed with our roof line! The variation of peaks are giving me life! Now, let’s talk decor! As you know from my previous design post, I am going for a modern rustic-romance theme: focusing on lots of soft metallics, furry pillows, and my latest obsession-MARBLE! I am all about that bling, so my plan is to incorporate a different style metallics into each room. For example, the living room is focused on silvers, kitchen is copper, and master suite is gold. Each room will have a touch of silver, that way it ties the entire house together. Below you will find the mood boards I use for inspiration.

A lot of changes have occurred in 2017 for the Burris family; changes we did not expect. Not that any of these changes have been negative, but with my “Type A” personality, I don’t handle change well, making things a little tough. But as always, God’s plan prevails and we try our best to adjust according to His will. This time last year, I would have never guessed we would have sold our first home and be living temporarily elsewhere until we build for the first time. In fact, we absolutely loved our first home. We spent so much time, hard work, and lots of love in making it ‘ours’. But the opportunity arose, and here we are!

So, to adjust, I decided to make our current humble abode a little version of our new home. The living room is currently decorated with a little touch of rustic romance, focusing on lots of soft metallics and furry pillows!
