Because Kaitlyn Loves Decorating

I have officially lived in our new house for 1 month and I am enjoying every second of the decorating process.  It means so much to me to have a place of my own, especially one that I share with my best friend and that has felt like "home" since our realtor turned the handle on the front door for the first time. The house has a very modern feel so it's important to us to maintain that style yet make it feel warm and inviting at the same time.

The house is slowly but surely coming together...."These are a few of my favorite things" (so far!)

A larger than life version of us -- What master bedrom is complete without one?
 The beginng stages of our "library"/sitting room
A gorgeous setting for our dining room
The peek-a-boo loft that sits above the living room
Representation of our new family
 A comfy place for guests to relax
 The best day of our lives
 A fireplace setting will serve us well come November
 A gathering spot in the kitchen fueled by wine and small plates
Showcasing our love for craft beer and Chicago sports at our bar
And one of my absolute favorite parts about the house -- the lighting.
I look forward to furnishing each room of the house -- at first, I wanted to do everything at once, but what's the rush? This place is our own and we want to take the time to make sure all the pieces fit.

Here are a few ideas I would like to replicate: 1, 2, 3, 4

What touches make your house a home?
