When I first started Emily Kelley Designs my husband and I were newlyweds and brand new home owners. It was our seventh move in seven years, so needless to say we were beyond excited to have something more permanent. And then life threw a curveball when my husband’s job relocated us 800 miles from everything we knew.
As if that wasn’t crazy enough, I was also five months pregnant with our first child, so the clock was ticking. We arrived in Alabama on a Saturday and the very next Saturday we made an offer on our second house, our current home. As soon as we moved in, we began a race against the clock as our son’s due date was only two months away. Since then we've been busy adjusting to our new state, new lives, new jobs and new roles as mom and dad.
We're finally settling into a routine and I am ready to get back to blogging, designing and helping others love their spaces. In the mean time you can learn a bit more about our story and our previous adventures.
For a brief peek in our home, both current and previous, you can watch the photo tour below or check a couple of my blog posts that specifically address some of the rooms in our first home. Like most people, home is constantly changing and a work in progress. It’s a collection of things we love, things that represent people we love, and things we can’t wait to replace. Sometimes patience is the most important part of designing a space you love, talk about a hard-learned lesson! I hope to dive deeper into our spaces, projects and plans over on the blog in the days to come.
