New House Tour

Hello my friends!

Last fall my family and I moved into a new home. We've been working endlessly to redecorate and remodel for about 6 months now and are finally starting to feel a bit more settled. I plan to share the changes room by room, but thought first why not an introductory tour? Here is how the home looked at the time of purchase:

Front Hall

My favorite part about the front hall is that it has plenty of storage and gorgeous French doors that can close it off from the front room if we want to. We kept the floors and repainted.

My bakery closet is connected to this room.

Here is a post where I show you how I made the wall decor in there.

Front Room

How amazing are these vintage wood floors?

I spent a lot of time scrubbing and polishing to restore them, and also painted the walls.

Dining Room

The vintage floors continue into the dining room where I worked to refinish them as well. The furniture isn't ours - most of today's photos are from the real estate listing - and the walls and brick have been repainted.

Kitchen

There is soooo much storage in the kitchen!

My husband has replaced the floors with gray ceramic tile while I refinished the cabinets in white and painted the walls. Eventually the appliances will be replaced and we are still deciding on whether or not to keep the counters.

Breakfast Room

Right off of the kitchen is the breakfast room where we have a table and chairs as well as a few storage pieces. We kept the flooring here and I painted the walls white. In this post about the window coverings, you can see a bit of the decor update.

Laundry Room

The ceramic tile from the kitchen now continues into the laundry room. I've repainted here and we plan to add cabinetry to the walls.

Family Room

After painting and replacing the hanging light with a ceiling fan, this room also got new carpeting.

Back Porch

What used to be an enclosed porch is now my very own craft studio! It took me two full hours to get the windows opened (they were stuck shut) and then several more to get them clean. The cedar siding was so thirsty that it took three coats of heavy duty paint to freshen them and my husband spent a couple of days refinishing the floor. I can't wait to show the finished results!

Here you can see how I applied privacy film to the windows, and here is a post where you can see how I've done some organizing.
