Some of you are new here, so here's a little background. My house is 8 years old and we've been the only owners it for the past 7 years. It boasts everything perfectly builder grade. I used to hate the wall color, but as my style has changed I have come to adore them. I've been slowing trying to add more and more custom details throughout the house to take out the builder-grade feel and make it mine. I have a problem with changing things up too often, so if you come back next week, it'll probably look completely different :) Just check out last weeks front room post too see what I mean.
Now let's get on with the tour and total picture overload :) But, as a disclaimer, my house never, ever looks like this in reality. I know, I know...bummer. But, I have a toddler, a baby, and a lab...and my husband....so yeah. It gets pretty messy around here. One of these days I'm going to do a mock-home tour and show you all the gritty ;) Oh, wait, I've almost already done that....On to the tour!
Welcome to my home! Here's our entryway. To be truthful, I hate this tile...like I have been wanting to change it out since we moved in 7 years ago. But this picture really makes me want to keep it now. It just looks so pretty. Figures.
Off the entry way is my front room. I know it's Summer, but I can't help but have blankets around every corner of my house. They are a main staple for me. It's not warm enough if it's not at least 90 degrees...my husband thinks otherwise, but don't they all? His good temp would be 50. Yeah. You can only imagine the fights over the thermostat at our house :) I obviously lose those fights a lot...thus the blankets.
On to the living room.
This year I brought in lots of yellows throughout the house along with a ton of lanterns. To me, lanterns and Summer just go together...as does yellow of course :) I think I might just be as bad a lantern hoarder as I am a pillow hoarder. And that's saying something, especially if you were to come over and check out my pillow hoard. It's just ridiculous and little embarrassing.
I brought in a little more Summer with a conch shell I got from Grand Turk and a jute wrapped basket from Home Goods. (p.s. I wish I lived closer to a Home Goods...although my bank account probably thinks otherwise lol).
I love this table, but have found another table I want instead. If you follow me on instagram, you now what I'm talking about. Now if only I can get them to give it to me for a hundred dollars ;)
Here's our sideboard. I love the idea of using the candlesticks to heighten pots.
On to my master bedroom. Not much has changed in here since I've last shared it. But it's always fun to see it again clean :) Once again...baby...toddler...dog...husband. Enough said. These lamps were also a steal. I got them from Target on clearance for about $20 each. I have some in the living room too.
This has been the first time in about a year that I haven't wanted to change something in this room. It's a serious miracle.
And for the guest bedroom. A little bit has changed since last Spring's home tour. I loved it then and I love it now. The headboard just makes me happy. In a few months, this is going to change a lot again when I make it into a nursery. Super excited to redecorate for that! As for the plant in the window...that baby has been going since February. I'm not sure how, it's a serious miracle if you know me and my black thumb of death.There are no blooms anymore, but I still count it as a success.
As for the guest bathroom, here's the first one. I still can't believe the transformation of this bathroom. Makes me happy going in there :)
And my second guest bath. This has actually stayed the same for the past few years, but it just reminds me of Summer and the beach :) Plus, the makeover was only $60. So that makes me happy too.
Last but not least, our patio...here's a little sneak peak. I have some fun plans happening here in the next few weeks so stay tuned!
Go and check out these other amazing tours today! You won't regret it :) And be sure to check back here the next few days and I'll have the next tours up!
