Brief House Tour
Welcome! We've never posted photos of all our current rooms in one place before. Usually we just share the before and afters as they happen. However, we're contemplating some drastic design changes in the next year, so we thought it'd be fun to chronicle what our house looks like today. Sit back and enjoy the tour . . .
First, the entryway. A much needed coat closet prompted us to redo this space, which was once cluttered and embarassing.
The kitchen. It's tiny, but efficient -- and we spend most of our time there. How'd we spice our space up on the cheap? First, we slapped some paint on the walls and added a dramatic printed curtain. Would you believe the floor was carpeted when we moved in? Believe it! And learn how we fixed the problem for only $1.99 a square foot!
The Family room. When we moved in, it was rather plain and carpeted 1960s-style to boot! We used it first as our dining room, but recently changed stuff around. Learn how we added some key architectural details and exposed those beautiful hardwoods with only a little cash and, OK, a lot of effort.
Living room/Dining room (sort of a decor mashup, I guess -- we're not thrilled with it at the present moment):
Upstairs to the guest room/office. When we moved in, this room was a pale shade of pink. A little girl's dream. Problem is: We don't have kids, and I'm a bit of a tomboy. But we were able to transform the space from pretty to posh for less than $300.
The craft room:
The "master" bedroom:
The only bathroom:
Outside to the front lawn:
Our covered porch:
And patio:
There you have it. Our house. (Just about) all 1200 square feet of it, minus the bathroom (yes, singular bathroom) because it isn't quite "done" -- really, none of these rooms are "done". We've only been here about a year and a half. Though our house isn't quite a snazzy as we'd like . . . it's not too shabby either.

You've only been there a year and a half? The place looks great!
Looooove the aqua door with the pops of red in the wreath. Favorite color combo. Ever.

Your house is so cute and I LOVE your dining room!!
Thanks, LizzieBeth! It just seems like whenever everything seems "done" -- you want to change it up again. That's where we are at this point. And I totally agree about the color combo. It wasn't even something we picked out consciously. It just kind of gelled. I love it now!
Thanks, Dani :)
You guys have done an absolutely stunning job! You are such inspiration for when we get our first house :)
Thanks so much :) It's been lots of fun!
Ashley, your home is beautiful. I love all of your color choices. I agree, the front door is amazing.
thank you!
You have a beautiful home!

Just found your blog through a comment you made on YHL- your house is beautiful!! Love the front door, your dining room, and the color of your craft room. Mind sharing what paint you used??
Thanks so much for your comment! YHL is def. one of my favorite blogs, and a big inspiration for our decor.
The color of our craft room is called "arbor vine" by Freshaire (a no-VOC paint that's available at Home Depot). Here's their website: http://freshairechoice.com/
Your house is just beautiful! Magazine-worthy, yet homey and comfortable! I love the colors - very serene. You've got a new follower! :)
Did you make the wreath? It's so cute!
Actually -- I picked up the wreath at a local discount store for just under $10 :)
I'm delurking to say: LOVE your dining room! It's beautiful, my favorite by far!
I just happened upon your blog and I love it. Your house looks great! My boyfriend and I just bought our first place and we have lots of work to do!
I love your house. Absolutely beautiful.
I love the curtains throughout your house (which is very pretty!). Did you make them? If so, any tips?
Love your house! That color in the living room is amazing! What is it?
Your house is SO cute!

I am in love with your house! So friggin' cute! :-) I love your style... with the right combinations of things, you made your house look like a catalog of pottery barn!
Your interior doors are fabulous - I love 'em! Were they originally that way or did you strip them?
beautiful dining room + lovely backyard!
I LOVE that tree-looking pressed plant thing (for a lack of more eloquent words) thats framed in white in your bathroom. :)
What is it/where is it from?
House looks wonderful for a year and a half. I'm only three years into my new home and have a 15-year plan worked out -- on paper. Little by little it's coming together...And, taking your time is what it's all about. Great job. Come visit when you can.
It feels like home...I'm coming over! Love it alllll...can't wait to have a grown up house on day!! ;)
Everything looks great! That's a great paint color for the craft room, and I love the kitchen and living room!
Beautiful abode!
What a cute place! I'm still trying to figure out what to do with mine. :/
I adore your style! My husband would never allow me to do such soft colors. Our place is very masculine in many respects.
