    Home Tour

    It has been an extraordinary 6 years since we purchased our fixer upper and got busy renovating and decorating! In our particular case, when I say that our home is a fixer upper, I mean that every single surface in the house had to be repaired or replaced. The vast majority of our budget at this point has gone to new floors, new carpets, paint, and a kitchen gut job. I would classify my style as a mix of modern and classic design on a shoe string budget. I love color and a mix of vintage pieces. Almost every item in the house is a DIY of some kind and you can find lots more under my Home Projects Tab. While we are not even close to done, I don’t feel like you need a pinterest perfect house to love the home your in!

    Wanna know what paint colors I used? Or dying to know where I found that fab home decor piece? Well, you are in the right place my friend! I have pulled together items that we either purchased or are very similar to that discontinued or one-of-a-kind piece that we have. If I missed something, let me know in the comments and I will find it for you. Click on any of the pictures below the design for affiliate links to products I used.

      Where did you find that storage organizer that is in the laundry room between the washer and dryer? Great idea.

        Thank you! I haven’t seen my exact model for a bit, but this one also has drawers and is the same dimensions. I like the drawers rather than the roller style because our machines are on a platform. However, this rolling cart (link) is very convenient if you like the rolling version.

      Hello. I found your blog when searching for kitchen island makeovers. I was amazed how much your kitchen layout looks like mine and after seeing more pictures realize we have the same exact house built by Richmond American! I also live in Maryland, so it make sense. I was wondering what you did with the space to the left of the door (the one that leads into the laundry). It’s that little space that’s like a shelf, but triangular shape. It actually faces the laundry room. Thanks

        Haha, howdy, neighbor! I am always delighted to hear from people in the area who have a similar build as our house. I know exactly the area to which you are referring! That triangle half wall is definitely an odd space. To be honest, I have a tall vase in it right now with willow branches and a picture frame. I do use that area mostly for tall seasonal decor (i.e. a small christmas tree, egg topiaries in the spring, etc.) That spot, at least for our family, always seems to collect clutter because it is right next to the stairs. I was originally going to add in several shelves spaced evenly nearly to the ceiling and use it as a display area. However, I have a gallery style wall in the space between the stairs so I don’t really need another “display area” so close in proximity. I feel that it would look cluttered. Thank you for writing and I hope you will share what you decide to do with it. For much of the main floor, I am holding off the final decorating touches until we get all of the flooring replaced with hardwoods so you would inspire me.
