Simple Interior Concepts

When we first looked at this house I fell in love with this little room and I immediately knew it would make the perfect bedroom for our oldest daughter. It is completely separate from the other bedrooms in the home and it can be closed off from the rest of the house. There is a hallway door that shuts off this end of the house which includes her own bath and soon to be den one day. What more could a tween want!?! Before The room was carpeted and there was some water damage in here so the first thing we did was tear out the old carpet. I painted the floor with Sherwin Williams Porch and Floor Paint  in Whitetail  Then we painted the walls, doors and trim in Sherwin Williams Super Paint in Extra White.  Here is the After The Extra White and Whitetail brightened up this once very dim lit room and now it feels light and fresh in here and perfect for my girl.  I added natural bamboo roman shades to the windows for warmth and texture and also these cotton curtain panels ...

I can't even right now with all this waiting, but so it is...... and its got me thinking about what its all going to look like eventually in here which prompted this little post about my Dining space/family room.  So this is what the space used to look like.... Before  This is the before image of the little addition on the back of the house. The previous owners were without kids and so this area served more as a party space with a wet bar. This wasn't the best way for us to utilize this area so instead we are going to install built ins at this end of the room. We will have a tv mounted in the center and it will become a small area for relaxing. I'm thinking a small super comfy sofa down there.  Here is the opposite side of the room. This is where our dining table will be. Its s large one...108" and so we have 8 chairs, four for each side. You may think thats way too big for this space but this is how we are approaching this house.....we want to share it with everyone! ...

If you ever see my IG stories you may have seen how one week during all of this reno stuff that we've got going on around here, Brian had to leave for an out of town work trip and that left me here all alone with a sledge hammer...bad news people, bad news. If you hear Brian talk about the reno process he will refer to each project as part of a phase.  Phase I-the kitchen.  Phase II- the built ins. Phase III- bathrooms and so on...... If you talk to me....its ALL PHASE I and needless to say that makes him want to slowly kill me....in the most loving way of course.  Before  Originally upon walking into the front door you were greeted smack in the face with a set of closets. I refer to it as the giant BOX O CLOSETS in the center of the house. One closet was in front of the front door, one was in the bedroom (which will be our den) to the left of the front door and the other was a shelved closet directly in front of the stairs. Good storage options, bad design.   S...

Most of you know that we have been in our little house eight now for a couple of weeks and in that time we have created quit a mess! We have demo'd so much of the house and I've been kind of keeping up with it on my Instagram stories but I thought it was time to show you at least some of the small progress we have made in the month we have owned this new home of ours. So lets start with the front door. Before we actually even owned the house we had the chance to work on it a little and it was the front steps that needed our attention first. Our appraiser wanted the steps to be fixed due to the fact that the mortar and bricks had become weak over the years and had started to crumble and become somewhat of a safety hazard. Brian and I agreed to tackle this project since the folks we purchased the home from had already been so accommodating to fix so many other items up to this point and honestly we just wanted to get in to the house already, so whatever it was going to take to mo...

Hello Everyone!!! Its been awhile and Im so happy to be back! Im also pretty happy that my very first post in this new  house is a part of the White Buffalo Styling Halloween Home Tour. Not a bad way to get back at it and if you are joining me from Cassie's blog thank you for being here. I would really love to show you a full home tour with lots of amazing Halloween decor but alas the house is in bit of a tizzy at the moment and so I will default to the front door and the little bit of fall decor I could muster up in this chaotic mess of things! Lots of pumpkins, gourds and a few little felt bats and we are ready for the trick or treaters to bombard our house.  I'm pretty excited to see all the new little faces this year. A very Happy Halloween to you all and now head over to Nesting with Grace to all she has done with her sweet home for the holiday.
