Hi!

It's been years now since looking at this ole blogspot page, but I thought I would pop in and remind you all that Two Ellie has a new home! Well has since 2012, but you never do know. HA.

TWOELLIE

I know it has been over a year since I switched domains, but I thankfully still get quite a bit of traffic through this little ole blog. Hope you join me at my current home on twoellie.com. Also if you could continue updating your sidebar links that would be greatly appreciated!!!

A Reminder + A Giveaway

Just a quick little reminder that I no longer blog from this site. I now have a new home at TwoEllie.com. So please change your blogrolls and subscriber lists if you wouldn't mind. It would make my day! Also I am hosting a Joss & Main giveaway over on Two Ellie so be sure to enter. Today is the last day to sign up!

Making the Change

Thank you all so much for all your feedback yesterday. I am going to make the change! I am so excited. I still have to import this blog into the new, but today I am starting all new posts on twoellie.com. I am ecstatic!!!!

NEW

So I am considering making a switch, but only considering. Hence being MIA as of late. It really is up to you all. To see my potential new home go here. Please, pretty please...

Refining Style

Since I have begun my new journey on living a life of simplicity, I have also begun refining my style. At times I feel all over the place and I am trying hard not to waste and buy smartly. I want pieces and a home that we can grow with and me not tire of in a few sort months or even years. After much evaluation I think I came down to what I am when concerning my home. I think designer Kristen Panitch nailed me right on the head with her gorgeous designs. Her spaces look easy to live in, welcoming, traditional, with a bit of boho here and there. The textures, patterns. and the layering of all her spaces feel like home to me. This is the direction I am slowly going in. I can't wait to share my home soon!

Her goal for every space they design speaks volumes to me... to create homes that will reflect and evolve with our clients’ lifestyle, tastes, passions, and dreams... That is so what I want and am striving towards.

SPRING

Yesterday I had high hopes of taking the kiddos to the zoo. When we arrived there wasn't any parking spots. Yes, you heard me right. It was insane. So in my frantic desire to do something fun with the kiddos without going mad I went to the Botanical Gardens a street away. They ran and explored. We had a blast. I visited the shop Leaf n Petal while there and fell head over heels for the decoupaged wallpaper. The colors were quite gorgeous to say the least. Such an inspiring day it ended up being. Today we are getting up a bit earlier and trying for the zoo once again. Fingers crossed.
