more updates

the den. still working with this space, but with the help of my very talented mom, i attempted separating the chaise lounge and am delighted with the change.


an old stool found at goodwill works wonderfully as a side table.

hall bath. our pedestal sink is in! three men, a full saturday, and wa-la..it's in!

i painted the mirror and light fixtures the same white as the walls to create a monochromatic look. i like that the texture stands out, but not the color.

front bedroom. the orange fabric is from an estate sale i went to in st louis years ago! i had the rods hung and couldn't decide on curtains until i remembered the orange fabric bolt i had sitting in our attic. i'm in love with the orange on green.

master bedroom. its a work in progress, but the wall above our bed was in need of a little something.

master bedroom. vanity doors

master bath.

kitchen. our restored hood. original to the house and working once again!

kitchen. open shelving detail


a few updates...the dining/living room

this is the original fixture from the dining room...i used a flat white paint spray paint (the fixture used to be gold!) and removed the old globes, replacing the bulbs with these sweet little rounds.

changed out the knob to give this wine cabinet a little more personality in addition to adding the crate


and we have our doors hanging back up... painting shudder doors is no easy task!!

the afters

we are still in process over here, needing final doors hung on closets and painting yet to be completed in mike's studio in addition to small places here and there, but for the most part we are settled and grateful! not only for our new space, but for our dear friends and family who have made this process possible (not to mention much more enjoyable!)

enjoy.

notice its dark outside- we had many late evenings prepping to move in
