Ask and you shall receive! I had loads of comments and messages asking for a home tour of our little cottage…a lot has changed since the 1.5 years ago we moved in–my how time flies! Though my before and afters aren’t as drastic as hoards of homeowner DIYers out there, it’s crazy to see just how many little details {and a lot of paint} go a very long way. Check out how our house looked when we bought it here.
Note: The before pictures are when we bought the house in January 2010 and the after pictures are as of September 2011.
Our master bedroom…my favorite place
My side of the bed…bookshelf with some of my favorites–coffee table books from our travels, my seashell jewelry box from my grandparents when I was little, and countless books and pictures
Jeff’s favorite…the TV đ
Every girl MUST have a full length mirror in her room!
The master bathroom…still work to be done, mostly art on the walls
Le toilet…obviously nothing glamorous
The kitchen and dining room…my favorite room and I’m obsessed with the paint color
The buffet…cocktail concoctions galore! {for everyone, but me right now}
My refrigerator…I should’ve taken a picture to let
you see how organized it is–OCD people!
The foyer into the house…the armoire is one of my favorite pieces!!
The oppostite side of the entryway looking into the formal living room
Formal living room…
Where Jeff spends most of his time…the downstairs family/man room
I’ve started my fall decorating…little pieces here and there, but more to come!
The little crafting nook {or food area for football season eating}…and yes, those are the moss letters from our wedding! I just had to use them somewhere
The main level guest bathroom
The upstairs full bathroom
The small guest bedroom
{notice the painting that needs to be hung ASAP!}
Larger guest bedroom…see all the closet storage that has now been moved
to make way for the contractors starting this week!!
And the office AKA the new nursery! This room is in for the biggest transformation and I am really excited about it…different paint and new furniture, addition of beadboard to the bottom half of the walls, built-in bookcase and custom closet design–can’t wait to show off lots of before, during, and after pictures!
It may not be the perfect home, but it’s the perfect home for us and we couldn’t love it anymore…it’s got our personalities wrapped into it and suits our lifestyle perfectly–even better, it’s great for entertaining, too! Much more work to be done in the coming years, but I hope you enjoyed the fun little tour and showed you a bit more into our home and overall style.
And P.S. though I know some of you will ask where certain items are from, before you email or comment, to be honest…it may just be easier to check the pages of the Pottery Barn catalog and website first đ
Your home is so pretty! I love all the details and how "homey" it looks. The color choices are great too! Thanks for posting these pictures. Gave me some ideas đ

Oh my goodness…every room is just adorable and so put together. I'm jealous. I still feel like each space in my house is just at the 50% completion stage…so frustrating. Gorgeous home!! đ
absolutely gorgeous and so neat!! I'm very jealous – my house is still in shambles as we buy furniture and I try and figure out my decorating style.
Love your master bedroom! So pretty. You have such a darling blog.
Visiting via Touch of Gray. You have a very lovely, warm home. Following you now.
Where did you get your dining table? I am thinking of going witha bench.
So lovely!
Natasha, I have a dumb question – What do you do with your throw pillows at night? My parents never had them when I was growing up – I use them now on my own bed because I love the look but I wind up just throwing them on the floor before I get into bed every night. Do you have a more organized way to do it? Also, did you get yours all at one store or mix-and-match until you found a combination that you liked?
