When we first built this home, it was hard not to go out and buy all the things and hang up decor on the walls right away, but I’m glad we followed our gut to wait and really live in our new space for a while. We’ve been able to see what is missing and what we envision, budget and shop smart, and add to it a little at a time.

It may take us 5-10 years to design all of the rooms the way we like, but that’s okay with us. .
What about you? Are you more “wait to decorate” or more of a “design then decide” home owner?
