We Bought Our First House!

Home

G and I have been holding onto a little secret for the past month– we bought a house! We wanted to keep it quiet until everything closed, but now that we are all moved in, we are finally accepting that this is real life and it is okay to share!

A post shared by Sara Ann Sutton (@saraannsutton)

We wanted some space from our neighbors so we got about 3/4 of an acre. It has some woods in the back and there is even a creek that I will have to show y’all another time 😉

Here’s a walk-through of pretty much the whole house before we moved our stuff in. I wanted to show y’all the before pictures before it gets styled with all of our things 🙂 You can go to my stories on Instagram under “house” to see a full walk-through– just show me some grace when you watch it because it is MESSY!

Entryway:

(P.S. I plan on painting the door and eventually getting a new one all together!)

Dining room:

Butler’s pantry:

Kitchen:

(The area off to the right is going to likely become a breakfast nook!)

Living room:

Mudroom/drop-off zone:

There is also a small powder room downstairs which is through the door to the right!

Office (through the door to the left of the drop-off zone):

Upstairs:

Master bedroom:

There’s also a big walk-in closet that I obviously need haha

Master bathroom:

Laundry room down the hall:

Guest bedroom (x3) that all look the same:

Guest bathroom:

There’s also a cool loft area that I completely forgot to photograph which will be like a game room!

Front garden:

Here’s what I have already planted!

Salvia in the front, baby gem boxwoods in the middle, and white hydrangeas in the back.

Needless to say, we love being homeowners! 🙂

    […] We bought our new build house a few years ago, and we are finally getting around to doing more than decorating and adding furniture, but instead wanting to give it some DIY updates that make it a little bit less “builder grade” and more our style. But of course, we are doing everything on a budget and trying to see how much of an impact we can make for as little money as possible. I have been documenting our primary bathroom refresh on my Instagram stories and are attempting to keep it budget friendly. […]

📍Win Son Bakery (East Village)
We both got the BEC which had the CRISPIEST bacon, egg, and havarti cheese and it came with their ginger deluxe sauce. I NEED to figure out the recipe to recreate the sauce because it was amazing 🥲 
I also got their 5 spice latte which was so tasty and I loved that it wasn’t super sweet! #pregnancy #pregnancycraving #nyc

After having GD with my first pregnancy, I am SO relieved to not have to check blood sugars and be monitoring this time around— however, I’m still being mindful and conscious of my carbs, because I do think it’s better for me and baby (but I’m not being quite so restrictive now!!)

I recommend priming your sheets of plywood FIRST, then tracing your outline of the characters and then cutting them out! It makes it easier to see the image if you’re using a projector, and then it’s also easier to see your outline when you start painting!

DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹 I made two of these th DIY FELT BIRTHDAY CROWN 🎉🥳🥹
I made two of these this year, one for my dad for his 80th (lol) and another for my toddler! I thought it was super a cute keepsake, and not very difficult, so I’m definitely going to keep making these for kid’s birthdays! 🥹 #birthdaycrown #keepsakegifts #birthdaytradition #slowliving #toddlermom
DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 I love the look of th DIY “Terracotta” Pumpkins 🎃 
I love the look of the terracotta pumpkins, but knew I could DIY it for less 😌
Just mix up some baking soda into paint until it forms a gritty paste and apply a couple of coats to a cheap plastic pumpkin. On your last coat while it’s still a LITTLE wet, sprinkle on some additional baking soda and dust it around with a paint brush. #falldecorations #diyhalloween #halloweendecorations
