Home Sweet Soon-to-Be Home

With moving day fast approaching (without any roadblocks in sight), I have decided to share a photo of the house that will soon be ours in St. Louis. I actually drove by it today after dropping off Claire at daycare and a moving truck was in front, so I feel fairly comfortable that the owner is in fact moving out and that we are well on our way to closing... a step in the right direction!

Here she is, all 4 Bed / 2.5 Bath & 2,300 square feet of her...

Once we move in I will post a "before" house tour, as in photos with the previous owners belongings and decor. And of course, as we add our personal touches and venture into some DIY projects, I'll be sure to post those as well.

A look back at our loft

While we actively search for our new home in Saint Louis, living back under the roofs of our gracious parents, I find myself reminiscing about the last place of our own that we left behind in Chicago.

Even when we lived there, I'm not sure that I ever posted photos of our entire loft, rather than just snippets here and there. So here is a little belated tour of our former Chicago home.

Kitschicagoan has Relocated

It's official, kitschicagoan no longer resides in Chicago.



After almost a decade, I am once again a St. Louisan.

It was hard to say goodbye to our wonderful life and beautiful loft, but we are excited for our new adventure in St. Louis, MO. Here we are in close proximity to Claire's grandparents (very close proximity, as in under the same roof, until we find our perfect home!) and are excited to reconnect with our Missouri roots.

I hope to get reacquainted with blogging very soon and can't wait to document the process of making a whole house our very own. New name suggestions for the blog are welcome!
