Your ability to keep up with everything you do despite all those moves is mind-boggling! We just moved for the third time in three years, and I thought that was bad. LOL! I totally get the frustration of trying to complete projects without materials and tools - we did a partial move this time and every day I think of some little thing I need that is still at the other house. I'm completely inspired by your ability to create so much beauty in the middle of what must often feel like chaos! You're amazing! xoKaren @ a house full of sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787916466155321686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-26603211074963321692014-11-21T08:47:19.808-08:002014-11-21T08:47:19.808-08:00Oh my gosh Sarah I can't imagine the stress of...Oh my gosh Sarah I can't imagine the stress of that!

We are now starting to feel much more settled but I must admit I can't wait to get my hands on a home where I can actually renovate when we are not renting. You always makes your spaces look amazing and it is so so inspiring. Keep it up. You rock!Danielle Oakey Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683425155466656859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-39201389075552355012014-11-19T12:58:57.134-08:002014-11-19T12:58:57.134-08:00I appreciate you writing this post-- thank you!

You bring such beauty and creative energy to each space you live in. Thanks for sharing. Also, I LOVE your pictures of your MD home. I really hope we can meet up sometime when you settle down in MD.

Honestly, in a world of permanent bloggers, I really enjoy seeing how you buy/build pieces that a) can be moved (or won't be moved), and b) fit different spaces/decors. We moved from our hometown (and a house) to an apartment, and now back to a house, knowing we'll be moving again in a few years. Your situation gives me a lot of perspective on how and where to invest knowing that I won't be stationary for the next 5-8 years! I think it's a strength you have, and you'd do well to play it up and reach a whole segment of the market out there like me :)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322533762629445440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138300780112773406.post-599967332613416812014-11-19T07:51:14.126-08:002014-11-19T07:51:14.126-08:00This really cleared up a lot of the questions I ha...This really cleared up a lot of the questions I had :) Now I get it.

You always seem to bring beauty wherever you are, though! But I know that can be staged when behind the camera you're feeling fried and disjointed. So hope you guys get some direction soon.

We Ping-Ponged back and forth between homes in Denver and in central Mexico and Texas caring for seriously ill family members. For several years I never felt at home anywhere even though we were blessed to have the means to support multiple households in different countries. You are blessed with a terrific husband, caring family and a lively and brillant talent for decorating and diy. You amaze me with your creativity. As others have said, hang in there.

Shortly thereafter, my husband went to Vancouver to work on a movie for 8 months. I was flying to see him and driving between our two houses, trying to make headway on packing one and fixing up the other. It was exhausting. And I only had a 2 hour drive! I can only imagine what it's like for you to have to go 8 hours. And it's so hard when you have so many ideas and you can't execute them! Thank you for continuing to post and dazzle us with what you ARE able to get done.

We are no where near in this same position as you are but as my husband is looking for jobs we are not able to buy a home and continue to rent because most of the jobs in his field he would need to live extremely close (wild life management) so we are at a toss up because I really want to buy our first home but we have to keep in the front of my minds that if he gets a job somewhere else we will have to move. None of this is fun but I guess we just need to be thankful that we are together. I cannot wait to see your apartment tour!!!Brittany Fry @ The 26th of Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04783156191014048802noreply@blogger.com
