You’ve met your end.
Yours was the fate of so many cosmetic items before you.
I can’t really say I’m sorry to see you go. As far as lipstick shades go, we just were never that good of a match.

I want to share a couple design blogs I’ve been enjoying lately. They both focus on nursery/kids’ rooms, but the inspiration could be applied to any room in the house. Check them out!
The first is Lay Baby Lay. Joni has a great eye for design and puts together the most fantastic mood boards. She also shares the sources for her finds so you can easily recreate the look in your own home.
The second is The Boo and the Boy. Julia assembles really fun roundups of various kids’ room themes like loft beds, built in desks, eclectic decor, etc. The majority of the rooms featured have a Scandinavian design aesthetic – my fave.

If any of you have dug through the archives recently you may have noticed some new posts sprinkled in throughout. That’s because I’ve been keeping a separate family blog for a few years now and I have recently decided to merge the two.
I’ve never really sat down and decided on a future for The Modern Home. We started it to blog about building our house, but didn’t plan beyond that. After giving it some thought I’ve decided I would like it to be not just about our house, but about our home. I’ll still be posting all the details of our house and other design related topics, but I’ll also be sharing more daily life/family stuff. Personal posts make it on this blog every once in a while there will just be more of them. Plus, I like to share things like recipes and random bits on our personal blog. Those will now be included on The Modern Home. So I guess you could call this more of a lifestyle blog or a nesting blog… or both… or something… I don’t know.
Anywho, if you’d like, you can click back through and see all of the old Young Love posts from our personal site. They’re labeled under life for now. I’ll try to be more specific at some point.
As you may have gathered (maybe because I said it in the last post) we’re back. Gone 4 months. Phew. Loooong trip! But wonderful to get to spend so much time with both our families.
Boxes are everywhere. We rented a moving truck and FINALLY brought home all of the stuff we’ve been storing at my mom’s house for the past 5 years. Boy does that feel good to have done! Check out the suspenders Ezra found in the back of the moving truck. He wanted to wear them while he helped move boxes. So cute!
Seeing as how we’re back in our house and seeing as how I haven’t been posting about the building process like I said I would be while we were traveling… your super sleuth skills may have deduced that we didn’t sell. Nearly 6 months after the initial offer and 3 closing extensions later, the whole thing fell through. The entire experience was extremely frustrating to say the least. I won’t get into the details here as far as the hows and whys of it falling through, but suffice it to say that Murphy has a cousin. If Murphy’s law is anything that can go wrong will go wrong then his cousin’s law is the most ridiculous outcome is the one that will happen.
So we may or may not be back in limbo now. It depends on what we’re willing to do. Things/plans might be a changin’. Stay tuned!
