Home Tour: Part III

And, we're back to the tour.
I completely forgot that I hadn't finished these posts.

Today, we're heading up the stairs and getting a quick peek at our tiny bathroom & going into probably my favorite room in the house. The Master Bedroom.

I think I've mentioned this in the other posts- but one of my "needs" after living in a small apartment with random, small windows- was great natural lighting. Our bedroom has 3 large windows in just the right places and every Morning I get a dose of pinky orange sunrise.

Originally our room, like most in the house, was some variant of yellow. Our bedroom was, mustard. A very loud color for the walls. So we painted it a soothing gray-blue and I adore it.

Also, I think the best thing my Husband has ever purchased (well, one of the many...) is our large Ikea dresser. I think it's the epitome of everything I love. Coziness. Clean. Fresh. Elegant. Simple.



 
 
 
Below, is my side of the bed. With our favorite, down comforter. (thanks MIL!)
 
This is Kyle's side.
(Yes, if you're noticing the different comforters. The photos were taken on different days!)
 
Made these yesterday on a whim. Definitely homemade, but full of love :)
"I adore you, my darling"

We have two of these laundry bins, from Home Goods!
 
Kitty Spot, of course.

Home Tour : Part II

....So let's take it into the Dining Room & Living Room. It's basically one giant room. So what do you call that? Whatever. I don't know what you call that.

I have lots of dreams for this space, as I do for every room in our Home.
I honestly find the space a little overwhelming. Despite being so small, I can't figure out a paint color that would be perfect for both "sides" of the room.  Everything I envision the living room to be- doesn't blend with my ideas for the dining room.

All I am sure of, is that there will be gray furniture down the road & lots of cheeky artwork. :)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everything in these spaces are kind of muttled together. They're different styles, different textures, different colors. Which kind of drives me bonkers. But for now, I just keep changing things around until I'm satisfied for a Week or two :)

Home Tour, Part 1.


Quite a few people have inquired as to what our house has come to look like since we moved in last January.
Understandably so- not all that many people have actually been in our Home.
I am no hostess or entertainer, although I'd like to be. I'm working on it. I just have to get passed the whole "What will they say about what we've done? What if I didn't dust a corner?"-- Thing.

But for now, I'll appease everyone with a few pictures here and there in my next few posts. Home posts are always fun, right??

So let's start with the front door and directly to your right- into the kitchen all the way through to the stairs leading to the second floor.

 
Our Front Door. I have *always* wanted a red door
 
.
I've had this HomeGoods rug since Summer and it's already completely worn. Thanks, Cats! I still love it.
 
 
Forgive the realistic look inside our Kitchen :) Somewhat messy, somewhat cozy. Eventually we hope to upgrade appliances.
 
 
 
 One of the first things I noticed about the kitchen, despite our showing being in the Evening- was this window. I love the natural light that pours through, the little shelving nook...and the fact that it's low enough that I can actually see out of it!
 
 
 

 
"There is only one Happiness in Life.
To be loved by your Pet."
...Yep! That about says it :)
 
 
Eventually the dream is to have some kind of patterned stair runner going down these. And maybe a cooler railing :) It's not my favorite that the staircase is kind of hidden- but it is what it is.
