I am back and super excited to be blogging again!
Last Monday we arrived in Boise and received the keys to our new rental home on Tuesday morning.
How exciting.
Remember how I blogged about this other rental? Well it fell through 2 weeks before we were scheduled to move in.
Such a headache.
The Boise rental market is crazy, 99% occupancy and nice places are almost impossible to find. Thank goodness we were able to get our deposit back and secure this home within the day. We are considering ourselves very lucky.
We are thrilled to have a little more space than in Salt Lake City. A little bit about our new rental home:
+1400 square feet
+3 bedroom
+2.5 Bathrooms
+Backyard (a first in our 7 years of marriage!)
+Garage
I am excited to show you around.
Today I am going to start with the living/dining room.
Like I mentioned before, we moved in only 6 days ago so it’s a work in progress, but it feels amazing to have our boxes unpacked.
The view from the kitchen.
I am loving all the windows.
I can’t wait to get some drapery on them.
Our furniture doesn’t fit great in this space, but we have to make it work.
A new rug is a must as this one is WAY too small.
And yes, my office is still in the living room…can’t win them all!
The open living/dining/kitchen planning is working out great already.
The accessibility to the backyard is amazing.
I can watch Emory playing outside from the kitchen, the table and the couch.
The yard is small but so perfect.
I am toying with a removable wallpaper for the television wall.
Don’t you think that would be fun?
You also may have noticed my new Ikea rug in the dining room.
I bought it before leaving SLC and I love it.
I’m not loving it with my chevron rug, but that needs to go anyways!
Unfortunately the dining light is hung way too high and there is no extra chain.
Oh how I wish I could switch it out, but I don’t think it would be worth it for the short 12 months we will be living here.
I’m excited to get some art hung on the walls though!
I’m loving it so far, but I can’t wait to give it a little more personality!
Welcome back! I am so happy for you guys. This home is amazing. I love all of the light and huge windows. I know it will be beautiful, once you put your stamp on it. And yes, I think a removeable wallpaper on the TV wall would be stunning! 🙂
Hello, Your home just looks very nice. Of course we always dream on new upgrades (its a constant project), but it already looks very homey. I just love your turqoise carpet.
With your great finishing touches it will look even more lovely.

It looks wonderful! You’ve done so much already and I can’t wait to see you have fun with your new space!
Looking good! I bet you can get some extra chain for the dining room light fixture at Home Depot, don’t you think? Depends how much it bothers you.
love the light that filters through and absolutely agree that removable wall paper would look amazing!
So so fun to be doing a new home for yourself! Love the Ikea rug. And you know, I may have a tiny little office space in another room, but I ALWAYS do my work from my living room where I can see my kiddos and be in the action. So alas, your desk space is perfection. Thanks for a peek inside!
If you are getting rid of that chevron rug, I’ll take it! 😉
I’d love to get a little kitchen set like that? Where did you find yours? Also, your blue desk… details please!
Thanks!
The table is from Ikea and the chairs are thrift store finds painted white. The desk is also a second hand purchase that I painted blue. Email me and I can send you links to the post about the desk! danielle.oakey@gmail.com
Hope this helps,

It looks so good already!! LOVE all of those windows. The TV wall would be the perfect place for removable wallpaper!
Danielle,
Wow you all look so organized already. Love your colorful, fun space.

Hygge and West has some amazing removable wallpapers right now! I think the Julia Rothman Daydream one would look amazing in your home (which, by the way, already looks so great! Can’t believe you just moved in!)
It’s great already and I love your office in the living room. I Just bought the Ikea rug too. It’s great!
Can’t wait to see all your other ideas come together.
It looks great! and it is only a week there! Congratulations!
Your new home looks wonderful & once you put your personal touch on it it will feel like home!

Your home is fantastic!! So glad you’re back blogging. Source for blue chevron rug?? Love it.
Welcome back! Love what you have done already with the house. I can’t wait to see more. I saw on Instagram that you were going to be opening up some edesign spots. Count me in! I am in desperate need of help with my vision for our playroom!
Congrats on having the move behind you! Your new place looks great!
I would love to buy your rug from you when you do end up replacing it!!
