Sneak Peek of My New House

July 22, 2016

Want to see a sneak peek of my new house?!  We’ve been building our dream home for a while now.  It took forever for the home to be started due to problems with our builder.  My husband ended up investing in the company a few months ago and things are going much better now and are finally moving along.  As you can imagine, I am thrilled!

I have spent countless hours on Pinterest and Houzz looking for ideas.  I’ve also purchased books and magazine and scoured Google.  I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent at flooring showrooms, lighting showrooms, walked the aisles of stone slabs and more.  This is our dream home and I’m going to be sure that every single thing is exactly how I want it.  With that being said, lets take a look at a the progress…

I had to wear a hard hat at one of the flooring showrooms today. The perfect selfie shot! And yes, I am wearing clothes! LOL! I have on a strapless dress.

I can’t wait to share updates on the progress of my new house with you.  Stay tuned…

Let me know what you think of my new house so far in the comments below!

      Thanks so much Rita! I’m so excited about it. The backyard is going to be amazing… We already have the completed design, but it will be a few months until they start digging the pool and all. I will definitely share more pictures and maybe even a video. Stacie xo

    Wow! Getting a new house built is so fun but stressful! I hope your journey heads more in the fun direction! I love the rock outside. All we have around here is stucco….I miss other types of outside aesthetics. 🙂

    Looking good! We got a new house last year and thought about building, but ultimately didn’t want the stress. We lucked out and found a perfect preexisting one, but it took awhile to get what we wanted!

    How FUN to get to build your dream home! My hubs is in the military for at least the next 8 years….but whenever we finally get out and settle down, we are both definitely looking forward to building the home of our dreams! One pro to always moving from house to house every couple of years — you are able to experience a wide variety of houses and really fine-tune your wish list! 😛

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too. 

Dress and topper are on sale!🎉

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖
