Bemz Slipcover Samples

If you've never heard of Ikea...something's wrong with you. Let's just be honest here. While I don't have one in my state (or any states around me for that matter) I'm still a smidge obsessed with the sleek, sophisticated yet funky furniture they offer and oh.my.god.the.prices.are.insanely.great.

When you're preparing for newlywed life, you can't exactly blow all of your money on Anthropologie furniture (though, i'm still trying to convince myself this) and when someone offers you freaking cute furniture for an affordable price, you take it.

After browsing the web for Ikea slipcovers, I recently found a site called Bemz. They offer slipcovers for all Ikea furniture. It's pretty amazing. I opted for ordering some samples of patterns that will fit right into a beach themed home, and what I got was pretty stunner. See for yourself!

Not sure what my next move is, but we're heading in the right direction. Such pretty colors for a beach house, right?!

Floor Plan

As Tyler and I prepare for the big move, we're faced with a tough decision - choosing a floor plan that best fits our needs. Now, I might sound a little dramatic, but this is a big deal! This will be a place where we cook dinners together, house our family when they visit, and experience the joys of newlywed life. 

We've decided on an apartment since we're not certain on the areas we want to live, but we're as excited as if it were our very own home. 

We're leaning more towards the Sicily because it looks as if there is more closet space and the kitchen isn't divided...plus the living room is bigger. We'll take it!

We're Moving!

EEP EEP EEP! (that is me screaming)

I have some exciting news to share with you today - remember this post? After getting back from our trip, we realized how much we loved Florida...so much so that tyler submitted a few resumes and got a lot of call backs (more calls than in our own state!) After several skype interviews and phone calls, we're happy to say he's found an amazing job and ...we're moving!

I always pictured newlywed life in my hometown of Jackson, Mississippi, but I love the fact that we'll be experiencing a new way of life together (that way of life is called beach bums) Just kidding! But seriously.

I now feel like I have a clearer vision of where I am wanting my blog to go - that of traveling tips, date night ideas, beach life and spontaneous living. It's going to get really fun around here, y'all!

About Tyler's job opportunity - he is going to be Director of Marketing for a vacation rental management software company called Glad to Have You.

Example: when a person goes on a trip and checks into their vacation rental, there are usually notes left from the person who owns the rental. You often see things like "keep the air conditioner on this degree" or "here is where the spare key is hidden". Hand written notes no more! This software puts everything the Guest needs to know about their vacation in their hands! The app also gives the Guest local recommendations on where to eat, play and shop. There are also forms within the mobile application where guests can send maintenance requests, questions or concerns, perform a mobile check out, and more!  And at the end of their trip, the Guest can write reviews on a digital guestbook for other guests to see. Pretty cool, eh?

We will surely keep you updated on the moving process. We're super anxious for this new chapter, and are ready to call ourselves Floridians! 

Xo,
