Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
We're taking my little brother Dawson on a tour of the mountains this weekend.
-canoing on the Toccoa river in Blairsville
-visiting Misty Mountain Railroad (it is a model train city that spans the area of an entire house, it's pretty amazing!)
-going to the top of Brasstown Bald
-fun with family in between
This should be a great weekend!

500 Days of Summer
I absolutely love Zooey Deschanel and I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the best mix of handsome/quirky! I cannot wait for this movie to come out!
Just a few more months till September . . .

Decorating
Now that we have an actual house to move into, all I can think about is DECORATING it!
As mentioned in a way earlier post, I am a list-making freak. I have made so many lists of things to buy and things to do - I lost count!
I love looking through the blogs I follow for decorating inspiration, and elements of style never fails!
Our couch and table are similar to the ones in this picture. Maybe I'll pick up a striped pillow and some black frames and put this room together!
I'm also a BIG fan of exposed shelving in the kitchen, which we will have in our new house!
I like the idea of hanging our pots from the shelves. I hate stacking pots, they get scratched and it's annoying to constantly stack and unstack them when we want to use them.
I really like the hanging pots in this picture, but I wonder how they get to the stuff on the second shelf; I would need a pretty big ladder!

Cabbagetown
So . . .
We have finally found a place to live in Atlanta!
We looked all over - Piedmont Park, Virginia Highlands, Candler Park, etc. and we liked the areas near the park, but even the small one bedroom apartments with no porch or washer/dryer were way overpriced.
We're kind of moving past the point of wanting to live in an apartment. We really, really wanted a house . . . and we found one.
We found an adorable shotgun house with a covered front porch, screened-in back porch, fenced-in back yard, 2 fireplaces, huge windows and so much more for the same price as those small one bedrooms!
When we first told our parents that the house is in Cabbagetown; they were not excited. I guess Cabbagetown used to be really sketchy 15 years ago or so, but it has been totally redone and now it's primarily young families and young professionals. I think the areas around the neighborhood may not be quite as nice, and there may be some pretty scary people there, but I have a plan! - more on that later.
I'm really excited! The neighborhood and the house remind us of Key West. All of the houses are brightly colored, bungalow-style homes with cute porches and restored wooden floors.
It's a 3-mile bike ride from our house to GA Tech, so David will hopefully be commuting via bike.
I don't have any good pictures of our house yet, but here a couple examples of houses in the neighborhood:
Not our actual house, but I'm sure as we start moving in, I will be taking many, many photos!
