Gusty + Katie | Happy New Year!

This, my friends, is our amazing realtor Gusty Gulas and his lovely wife Katie, here to help me wish you and yours a happy New Year and best wishes for 2012!

We loved Gusty from the very first house he showed us, and I’m pretty sure Jamie dazzled him with his… um… creative descriptions of all the houses we ended up looking at together. So when he asked if I’d come take a few photos of him and Katie for their New Year’s card, I naturally said yes. These were taken at the new Gulas home, which they moved into just shortly before Jamie and I bought ours. Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous? That aqua front door (which I’m in love with, obviously) is courtesy of Southern Living magazine, who came by their house out of the blue and offered them a free entryway makeover to be featured in an upcoming issue. How cool is that?

I’m not really big on resolutions, but I will say that I love the hope and promise that a new year brings. I can’t wait to spend January organizing, cleaning, planning, and preparing for the next busy season. 2012 is taking me from Palm Springs to Kansas City to all over the southeast for weddings and I’m BEYOND excited. But for now, it’s time to say goodbye to 2011 in style. Hope your NYE is everything you dreamed and more!
