This isn’t a photo of our home. ;) Just a pic of a cute house in Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood that I snapped a few years ago.
Oh my goodness. I finally got my act together, unpacked the rest of the house, and filmed a home tour!
MIRACLE.
But a few thoughts before we begin:
1. Oh my goodness. I swear I am normally (relatively) well-spoken. How many times did I say “ummm” or “aaaand” or “so…” or “really,” though?! UGH. I was a teacher, for cryin’ out loud! Why couldn’t I concentrate while filming this? I promise to improve for future videos. Or at least consider what I’m going to say in advance!
2. I hope my voice doesn’t sound like this in real life, haha. I know that most people don’t like the sound of their own voice when they hear it on recordings, but yikes. Sorry, friends and family. ;) And Mitch. Oh, god. Mitch.
3. I originally recorded this on my DSLR a few days ago, but my 50mm lens didn’t allow me to get much in the shot, so I decided to scrap it. Apparently Jess filmed a home tour of her new place on the same day. (With an iPhone. Because she’s smart.) Not only are we dressing the same, but we’re also apparently planning the same blog posts now. (Insert laughing/crying emoji. Love ya, J! Keep those keys in your pocket.)
4. Why did this take me nearly 24 minutes?! I mean, it’s “Little Home in the City.” Keyword: little. Like, there are four rooms. Sheesh.
5. Obviously don’t watch the whole thing. Unless, you know, you have the flu or something. (I honestly only expect my friend Mandi to watch this. Love you, Mandi! FEEL BETTER!)

The house looks great!! I love those shutters. I think the kitchen cabinets will look so awesome white… and that bathroom floor at the end!!! Loooove the tile! Congrats again on your new home!
Ahhhh! Thank you!! :) I can’t even tell you how happy we are!
I love the new blog design, but there’s one feature that’s missing! I loved on the old design how when you were finished reading a post it had arrows and titles where you could go straight to the next blog post to read. I’ve honestly stopped reading all posts because I have to go back to the main page and scroll and click. Love the blog and I’ve missed reading all content!
Becca,
You are SO sweet. Thank you so much for making me aware of this! Honestly, I hadn’t noticed… I am going to try to figure out how to bring that feature back!
You’re the best!!
XOXO
I am so happy for you guys!!! The house looks great and looking forward to seeing what you two do with it.
Thank you so much, Sarah!
Oh my word… so fun to hear your voice!!
Love the house – adorable. I used Gray Owl for a client’s bathroom… did it at 50%. It came out great but it can read as green so I suggest a swatch to see how it translates in your cute Living Room.
Haha! I love you. I think I’m pretty annoying, haha!
And YES–I hear Gray Owl is the best!! And love the idea of diluting it :)
Thanks, Bethany!
Love to hear your cute, little voice! Everything looks so great, and the dachshund stuff is ADORABLE :) The bathroom tile downstairs is my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, Ashley!
xoxo!!!
