This Old House


We moved into our house 4 months before Lexi was born in 2008. Since then, almost every room has changed. 

Family room: 
2008


 2012:

 we haven't touched the paint in the family room (for obvious reasons), but new furniture and fuller bookshelves completed the room

Dining room 2008:


2012:
new paint, new table, new floors, new curtains
 Kitchen 2008:

Kitchen 2012:
new flooring continued, paint, and new stove


Kitchen 2008:
 Kitchen 2012: 
paint, more decor, new fridge
 Entryway 2012:

 Basement
 when we bought the house, this was unfinished. Paul took it from concrete and 2x4's to a playroom, bedroom, bathroom, plus some space left unfinished for storage

Upstairs

Girls bathroom: 
the floors still need to be refinished, but this is their girly pink bathroom: 


 Emma's room: 
When we bought the house, this room was cookie monster blue. We repainted it and Emma's theme is purple butterflies:



 Lexi's Room: 
Lexi's room theme is pink and brown with fairy accents (the non-Disney kind)

 My favorite thing about Lexi's room is her nightlight (or 'fairy lights' as we call them) - she has sheer curtains with white Christmas lights strung up underneath. It's lovely.

Master: 
not much drama here - we repainted, hung curtains - pretty basic and simple.

Love this sign!
it hangs in the upstairs hallway that connects all the bedrooms.

 Our office: 
This is supposed to be a formal dining room. We aren't really formal dining people, so we removed the chandelier, replaced it with a ceiling fan and thus our office was born. It's right off the kitchen.
 Office 2012 continued: 
The baker's rack to the left houses my Etsy shop. The bookshelf to the right is usually a crazy mess.
 Living room - (playroom) 2012
 Living Room/Office 2012

 So those are the highlights. I didn't photograph a couple bathrooms, staircases, closets, or garage. But ya get the general idea of our home. 

Home Sweet Home.
