Home is where the heart is...

     First of all, welcome welcome to my new blog! Some of you may have read a previous blog of mine.  After a hiatus from blogging (to do some living), I decided to restart my blog! With a new name and style (of course!)

      I thought about spending a long time talking about myself, and why I wanted to blog... and then I decided I would rather just jump into it.  So to start, a big part of what is going on in my life is that I am moving (again!).  I moved one year ago to a spacious duplex that I thought would be my home for a good long time.  I love my duplex.  It has wooden floors, a cute little backyard, and a garage to keep me warm in the winter.  However, my landlord decided to be, well, let's say, not so professional, so I will not be renewing my lease at cutie duplex.

      As most things are though, it will be a blessing in disguise.  My rent will only be around $10.00 more a month, and my bills will be less expensive.  It also has a more ideal location, close to highways, grocery stores, etc.  OH! It also comes with a dog park for baby Puppins (my Italian Greyhound) to run about in.  It also has a garden-style bathtub that I could not be more excited about because bubble baths are one of my favorite things in the world.  

My sweet fur baby, Puppins

     What I am MOST excited about is that moving means REDECORATING!!  Home decor is a definite passion of mine.  I have a special interest in all things vintage style and shabby chic.  I also love all things girly. I made a decision when I moved into cutie-duplex to make it as femininely decorated as possible, because I know one day I will be married and not able to run such a lace filled muck on my house!! :-)

  

Here are a couple shots from my current home.  My desk area, and then my "bar" in the dining room.

Here's a little arrangement on my shelves, with a sweet picture of Shane and I!

This is my favorite spot, my little reading corner.  I adore my vintage style chair, flower lamp, and my pillow from Rue 21.  Similar Here and Here!

This shot is also on my IG so if you want to check more follow me @mandylambxo !

     Now that I have my apartment picked, and move in date set, I can start brainstorming decor ideas.  By brainstorming I mean pinning up a storm on Pinterest.  I wanted to share some of my pinspiration on here!
