Making a house a HOME

So long blue walls.... hello a nice warm brown! The color goes so much better with the granite but now the cabinets seem a bit outdated. Oh well, maybe gutting the kitchen and baths will be the next BIG undertaking.... BUT definitely not any time soon! We added wainscoting in the dining room and took the color up a notch throughout. We really like how it turned out. We still have the Ansel to hang and the light needs to be raised but you get the idea. Can't say I love the fireplace.... bit dark .... but looks pretty good at night. Someday we'd like to tear it out and use the same stone that is on the water feature outside.

Remember the "Red" walls? They have now been replaced with a much warmer earth tone. When I bought our new bedding it was kind of ironic that the coverlet matched the old walls.... We threw in some chocolate brown to finish off the look. Need a duvet cover still but haven't been lucky enough to find one that I like yet. It's a work in progress I guess but sooo much more like us now.

Reegan has a new bed to add to her make-over. She chose a really pretty sea foam green/blue that matches her bedspread and bedskirt perfectly. Now if she could just keep her room clean we'd be in great shape!!!

Brynn of course had to have PINK in her room and seeing that she had to live with that horrible mustard yellow (the poor kid actually cried the first day she walked into her new room back in November) we figured she deserved it.


Greer chose a pretty shade of ice blue that is in her comforter for her accent wall. The next step is to get her some decent lighting. Hers is the only room without either a light kit on her fan or can lighting! We also plan on putting the bunk bed back in and getting Brynn a trundle. That way we will have more room for guests.
