Decorating our Home

After living in our home a bit over a year, we decided we wanted to get help decorating. We hired Erinn, a local decorator at Home Adorn, to help us (homeadorn425@gmail.com). We are really happy with her work and what she was able to do for our home! (For before photos, feel free to check out this post from last year.)

Back before we moved into our home, when we were selling our condo, we had a stager come over and help us know a few changes to make to help our home look better. Our stager staged our condo so beautifully and part of me felt sad that we hadn't hired help when we moved in, since maybe we could have lived in and enjoyed a more beautiful space while we lived there instead of just waiting until we were ready to sell. I'm so glad we learned from this experience and decided to hire help this time around.

So, what is the process working with a decorator like? We contacted Erinn and showed her the space we wanted help with. She shared with us a little more about her and her process, and then we agreed on her design fee for the project. She worked on and sent us design boards for each space. She liked to give us a few options and give us the opportunity to make a few choices. I also got to ask her questions and get her thoughts on what the best option for us was. Something Erinn prides herself in is her ability to find reasonably priced items-- we showed her a very expensive bookshelf we loved and she found a better one at a much lower price point! (Making me wish I had called her sooner for prior purchases, haha!) We had many of the items she helped pick shipped to our home, and then there was a big day where she came over with all the extra finishing touches she was able to find. We are so grateful for Erinn and her expertise. 

Have you ever hired help in designing or decorating a space?

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar  Looking for crabs on the water  Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M

Neil's friends visit

  Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski. 

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time.  We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.).  We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link:  https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938
