House Tour
We’ve been in our current home almost 2 years now, it’s time I share the whole space with you. You’ve seen a lot of decorating along the way but here is a snapshot of the whole house.

Playing House
That is exactly what I feel like we are doing right now…playing house. We have moved into our new home and it is what we hope to be very temporary. The house is great but we are trying to sell this one and move on to the next all in effort to get our developed neighborhood built out. Being a developer in the current economy has not been easy….especially a first time developer. We are hopeful good things are to come and soon. You can read about those adventures here and here.
I wanted to show you guys the progress. It has been a whirlwind Spring but after our vacation we moved and we are now officially settled in. I would do a lot more on the house if I knew we would be here long term but we are optimistic that it will sell soon. Since my current decor is pretty basic I thought I’d show you photos and tell you what I would do if it were going to be mine long term. I’ll add what I may do short term as well. Please not in all cases I may hang a few pictures..it does still look a little blank.
And please don’t judge these photos….not the best but this is the unofficial house tour :)
If it were long term….
1) Fabric roman shades would look great. Maybe white with a color border in light blue.
2) Furniture-a white or light beige couch with two side chairs in a fun fabric.
Our short time frame….
Probably won’t change anything big in here unless we do purchase a new couch, which I’d love to do.
This ceiling is like WOW!
If it were long term…
1) A tile backsplash with a pretty design above the sink
2) A custom built island with lots of storage
3) Purchase a long runner for a rug
4) Add some cabinet organizers from the Container Store
Our short time frame….
1) Purchase a cheap island or furniture piece to re-do (the current island is borrowed from the builder). I found an awesome one yesterday on Craigslist for $50 and when I called it had already sold :(
If it were long term….
1) Roman shades to match the living room and nook
Our short time frame….
1) Nada :)
If it were long term…
1) Bamboo roman shades with long drapes
2) Purchase a buffet to refinish & create a bar area
3) Purchase a China Cabinet to refinish
4) Recover seat cushions to a more vibrant color
5) Replace the light fixture with something a bit more casual
6) A nice bright rug under the table
Our short time frame….
I may possibly paint the table at the window a white to match the chairs
If it were long term….
1) Curtains, Curtains, Curtains, most likely long and the same color as the dark pillows
2) Purchase a bench for the foot of the bed with a fun fabric on top
Our short time frame….
I may still chunk out the money for curtains….trying to hold out
**Also, I just purchased the bedding and I love it. The duvet is the vintage ticking stripe from Pottery Barn, this was a Christmas present and I am just now using. Thanks Mama! The quilt and white shams came from JcPenny and the two darker pillows from TJ Maxx. The little sailboats are from a Interiors Consignment shop (more on that later).
If it were long term….
1) New towels and bath mats
2) Add fake built in shelves above the toilet (which you can’t see) for storage and decor.
Our short time frame….
Thinking about removing the towel rack and replacing it with hooks. The rack is a bit high for me to reach and Will never hangs his towel right…can’t get over it :)
**The cat bowls and water fountain (yes I have diva’s) are not really where I would prefer but space is a bit limited.
If it were long term….
1) Hang pictures
2) Do something fun in the little nook
Our short time frame….
Nada…well I may paint the chest
If it were long term…
1) Change out the light fixture
2) Remove the towel bar and hang hooks on the opposite side and put a shelf up in the spot were the towel bar currently is
3) New shower curtain and bath mats
4) This is the cats litter room and if it were long term I would try and figure out a better solution, right now the litter boxes are in the tub
In our short time frame…
Add a toilet paper holder….oops, guess someone forgot that
Gotta love that cat :)
If it were long term…
1) New taller bookshelf or leaning bookshelves that are the same color as the desk.
2) A wall with map wallpaper and paint this room a different color
3) A storage/shelving system in the closet that can accommodate all office supplies & filing
In our short time frame..
Still debating hanging shelves
If it were long term…
1) I would re-do this room completely! A sectional couch a must, a new TV stand, shelving for storage and decoration
In our short time frame…
We may move the treadmill out and re-arrange.
**this room would be a great playroom or office as well, but we would most likely use it as our main living area.
Well, what do you think? Any other suggestions?
Hope you are all keeping cool in this insane heat!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Master Bedroom
Happy Friday! This has been a really long week. Will has been out of town for work all week and I have had a long stressful work week. With that being said, this is a quick post to link up my Master Bedroom to the Roomspiration series over at Just a Touch of Gray.
The biggest want in our bedroom was to keep it calm with color. I am really ready to get a new bedspread and change things up a bit.
That’s it folks, I’ve run out of steam for the week so keeping it short! If you are wondering, the bedroom Furniture is part of the Martha Stewart Furniture Collection and I love it!

House Tour
Welcome to our home! We purchased our house over 5 years ago as a newly constructed home in a rural neighborhood. We picked a few upgrades before the home was finished, like hardwoods in the living room and pendant lights in the kitchen and while living here we have done very minor things like tile flooring and painting the cabinets in the kitchen.
We painted cabinets, put up a wainscoting backsplash, had tile flooring installed, and added pendant lighting. See cabinet transformation post here.

Office
I thought about not sharing this room because it is a constant design dilemma in my eyes. I hate all the cords, the ugly office like leather chair, and the TV in the room (although I love watching it). I decided to go ahead and include it because there are some things I love. I LOVE the paint color, the photo makes it look a little brighter than it really is, but it is my favorite color in the whole house. Took me two tries but I got it right the second time. I also love my bulletin board that we made (fabric on foam on plywood)....it is my little inspiration board.
