Today I thought it would be fun to look back at the growth we’ve made in the 3 years since we’ve built our home. It’s been such a fun journey, and one we’re still working on!

I really believe it’s important to look back and see the progress we’ve made. Not only does it show lots of change and growth, but it keeps me motivated to keep moving forward and making progress.

Like I mentioned when I shared my tips on how to find your style, we built our home and finished it with a way different style than what I currently love. Truth be told, I didn’t really know what my style was and looking back, I can completely see my struggle. Not only was I trying to figure out how our home should look, I was also fighting the urge to go with trends. That’s a tough balance.

Luckily, after some trial and error, I found my answer. Here’s a little before and current. I refrain from using “After”, because we are not even close to being done with any of these rooms…

Prepare yourself, not only has my decorating grown, but so has my photography! Let’s start with our kitchen….

We have made so much progress, and even though it’s not quite where I want it to be, I’m so proud of where we are and everything we have accomplished. Truly, home isn’t built overnight. It takes time to add custom and personal touches. And it definitely takes time to accomplish a house full of DIY projects. One project at a time, one at a time.

Moral of the story? Enjoy where your home is at- and the progress you’ve made!
