my temporary humble abode... pt. 1

so, if your new to llo then you might not know that the hubs is a marine pilot. pause for a daydream of him in his uniform.......... annnnd we're back. this is definitely not the life that i had planned for us. we started dating when we were 16 and we dated for 7 years before we were married. so last year actually marked 10 years together. whoa. well, needless to say i hoped we would move to new york city, la, or chicago... or heck, even live in a posh neighborhood in atlanta. i would be a struggling actor, he would be a successful engineer. well, that's not what happened. life happened. and he sat me down and told me his dream was to fly helicopters for the marine corps. i couldn't deny him that, no matter how terrifying the thought was, so i have now been a military wife for a little over 3 years and there have been ups and downs... lots of downs, but i think i'm finally getting the hang of it.

that brings us to the post. yes, all of my yammering had a point. in the past 4 years, i have lived in 5 apartments/houses. atlanta. virginia. pensacola, florida. milton, florida. north carolina. and to top if all off we are moving to san diego in a little less than 3 months. hooray. i've learned to really have a critical eye when designing for my home. i'm lucky that my aesthetic is very eclectic and modern, but i still try and keep color families pretty similar so that when we move no matter the home's layout i can use all of my stuff together. i also have this terrible constitution where it's literally impossible for me to not decorate a home, no matter how long or short we live there, so here, FINALLY, is my living room. ta-daaaa!

so, this is my delightful and cozy living room. whatcha think? could you live in this space? what do you think i could do to make it better? what's your favorite part!? remember, i love being praised so please, bring it!!!! and stay tuned for pt. 2.
