This weekend has been nothing but exciting! Kevin and I found a home that we could both really see ourselves growing into. Although we live in a wonderful area of Los Angeles that has the perfect amount of city life, ultimately we are looking to move back to the suburbs. If I haven't mentioned it already, we are ready to start a family and we want to make sure our one day baby grows up in a home. Especially one with a white picket fence, a vintage street lamp, and a porch swing. And this house has it all!
I'm trying not to get too excited until everything is final but it's just so hard. We have already mentally planned what we want to change, how to change it, and what we would start on first. I don't know about you but I'm pretty obsessed with HGTV shows. My personal favorite is Property Brothers. I love how they redesign older homes and make them look even better than new. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought of trying to get them to come to LA... I can always dream!

Congrats on the house! It looks beautiful. I'm so excited for you. And this dress is stunning on you. Incredibly flattering and AWESOME to see you in a lack of color.
Congratulations on the house -- so exciting! I'm a fan of HGTV shows, too, so I usually go all-out even when I'm just moving into an apartment for a couple of months! Anyway, that dress is super cute on you -- I'm loving the black and white trend going on! So pretty!
Congrats! I'm so happy for you guys!! Decorating your new home will be so fun :) Yes, property brothers is also one of my favs on HGTV, I also love house hunters! Wow, your home has a white picket fence! I can't wait to see pictures!
Hell yes! HGTV is the bomb. Property Brothers are amazing, and so cute. I like Income Property too. Scott is so talented, and also so cute, haha. He does incredible things with small spaces. I used to love Sarah Richardson's shows, but I haven't seen them on in a while. Then again, I haven't had time to watch tv in a while. :(
I am so excited for you, and I hope all your home dreams come true. :)
OMG I LOVE PROPERTY BROTHERS! I never watch tv but when I do, that's the only show I watch lol. They're such beautiful men, inside and out. Congrats on the house! What city were you guys moving to?
Ok, that dress looks amazing on you - it fits you perfectly, and I love how striking it is against your hair. I'm so happy that you guys are getting close to getting your house. I'm definitely jealous since I'm still years and years away from being in that same position. Keep us updated!
So pretty (I love your hair here - the perfect amount of wave!). And congratulations on the house!! Sounds like a wonderful beginning to your family plans! :)
Just found your blog and it is lovely! I am from SoCal too and just recently bought a home. The search can be a whirlwind especially with the way the market in California is right now. Wishing you the best of luck, hopefully everything works out :)
Congrats on finding a house, the picture I saw on instagram looked so wonderful!! This is very exciting stuff for the two of you :D And this dress is absolutely perfect, love the stripes!! xJennaD
Congratulations on finding a house! It has a white picket fence, a vintage street lamp, and a porch swing?! Sounds perfect :) And sounds so fun to change it up too. I use to watch HGTV all the time when I still had cable. It was so cool to see the "before" and "after" pictures of houses.
That stripe dress is so cute, I really like the fun shape and your hair bow is adorable :) I actually have this really big hair bow and i'm not sure how to wear it. Do you have any tips or ideas? :D
You are looking so adorable, Ashley! Your hair color is just absolutely stunning! So happy to hear that you two have found a great house! That is really exciting, Congratulations :)
I love that show too, it gives such great ideas, especially do-it-yourselfers! This outfit is so perfect! I love your striped dress and your hair is looking fabulous! I just bought some bows for my hair and was looking for how to wear them- thanks for the inspiration!
A fence and a vintage street lamp?! Ahh those are my must haves! I used to watch a bunch of HGTV shows. It must be so exciting to move towards actually doing it yourself!
I love the balance of the thick and thin stripes on this dress! You find the perfect way to belt a dress-- ALWAYS.
Good luck with the house hunt too! Sounds like a ton of fun, epsecially when you compare it to HGTV. haha I can't tell you how many hours have been wasted watching marathons of house flips and renovations on that network. :P
Hooray for finding a house! That is so exciting! Good luck with the renovations and changes.
Your pink hair looks absolutely perfect with this striped dress! I'm so jealous of your hair color for real. The red belt and bow in your hair are great accessories with this dress too!
Hurrah for finding a house! It is such an exciting time is it not? We are in the exact same position at the moment, and hopefully (when all of the paperwork etc goes through)be hot on your heels with new house decoration excitement... will you feature some decorating on here? I do hope so!
In other news, I adore your hair colour and the stripey dress is divine. Jen@madeinminch
