Home tour pt 3

 Hey everyone, 

The home is currently on the market, but I wanted to post a couple more times to finish up the tour!

My favorite area is our bedroom suite. I'm so thankful for the space we have as well as the nice sized bath and closet. 

Here is what our bedroom looked like before it was a bedroom. We lived with the red and orange walls for several months. 


We made slow but sure progress painting and trimming out while living in the house 🤯 Yes I did only paint a portion of the wall JUST so we could hang John's guitar. (It was like that for about 4 months.) (Side not on dates and amounts of time I reference, they are ALL approximate. I really have no idea how long that portion of the wall was painted before I finished it.) (Don't judge).


Again, I fell in love with the cream and grey color scheme, I feel like it softens the metal, industrial feel of the house.


We installed a sliding barn door going into the master closet, but used a regular interior door for the bath. I used a grey stain on the barn door, but I dilluted it quite a bit. In retrospect I would like it better with a darker finish. 



I lived with about 4 feet of closet clothes rod for my clothes for a couple of years*. (*Again amounts of time are approximate.) (Of course this necessitated swapping fall/winter and spring/summer clothes out.) We stacked totes on this wall (below) before installing a massive wonderful closet organizer!




But then we moved up in the world! I essentially tripled my space, because now I have a double clothes hanger for skirts and tops!


Before the closet organizer, this was my space (above) 😱 but now it's my husband, my husband's space, not my husband, that would be weird. So his space also increased by about one third. 

I love the window in the closet, for an extra shelf for decor or just a spot to put random objects that I don't know where to put anywhere else at the moment.

I also love the light it lets in. We dress up for church EVERY TIME so I iron a LOT. I love being able to set up and iron in a room with lots of light. 

On to the BATHROOM.

I don't know if this room ties for second or third place on my favorites list. I guess it fluctuates. In winter my number one place to be is this amazing tub. It fills in about 4 minutes. (Yes, I've got it timed). 

And hubby has some mechanism rigged up so we don't ever run out of hot water. (Unless you try to take a bath after everyone has had showers, the dishwasher is running AND the washer has run a hot load recently... Believe me, I've tried!!)


I also LOVE love love my crab and turtle pictures. Did I say love. Maybe that's not strong enough. I Love them. 


Arent they beautiful. 


Just say it. They're beautiful. 😍


Thank you. 

I hope you enjoyed the tour!! 

Until next time!

Window seat tour

 Hey y'all! My husband designed a cute little area in between the ground and top floor inside the container stacks. We call it "the window seat". But its so much more than just a seat. It's a small room with a web swing perfect for just chilling in with a book and a blanket.  But it didn't start out super cute! You can see where we cut the floor of the top container, as well as the ceiling of the middle container of the back stack. For a while, where I am standing to take the picture, you could look down through three containers to the bottom floor.😱 I had to place the ladder inside the window seat to reach the ceiling of the top container, so when I stood on it to paint, at the furthest point, I was 18 feet up, above the bottom of the stairs!  Better pic of my insanity-- Looking up from the kitchen Looking down from the landing Window seat window Finally, a cozy spot! Thanks for joining me!!

Home Tour Intro

Hey there! I know it's been forever! I have so much to share! We have gotten so much done, and I'm so ready to burn my paint brushes! Haha, not really, because I have lots of other projects that I can't wait to get done once I'm finished with our house.  I am going to do a series of posts detailing different rooms with maybe some "before" pictures to remind me how thankful I am of where we've come from! (I didn't do any this time, but I plan to in the future.) I used to be very much a grey walls/stark white trim person. And I still like those colors, but for this house I have gravitated toward the warmer creams and ivory for my walls, along with medium grey for my trim. This color scheme is very rich, cozy and lends itself to my rustic French country (sortof) decorating style that also has a bit of industrial to go along.  Here are our large, beautiful, double front doors. I went with cream for the trim as well, because the exterior trim is the same co

Home Tour pt 2

 Hey everyone! So, I decided to post one or two update pictures of our foyer. Fall is here and that means we move the wood rack into the house. My son welded up a new one, since the one we got at the (unnamed) farm store only lasted 2 seasons.  I also added a lamp, and it warms up the entryway so nicely.  We found our wood stove in northern Arkansas. From what we can figure out, it was cast in the 1930s. It is not airtight, so the temperature fluctuates quite a bit.  When you walk through the foyer into the great room, the wood stove is on your right.  The dining room is beyond it and the living room area is to your left. I have my grandma's china hutch, along with the dishes we used many years around the Sunday lunch table. I have added my own china as well. Behind the dining table is our bar. I love how it opens up the kitchen area, and makes a nice place for company to sit while I'm finishing up dinner! We have had our dining table since we had a house fire just 2 years afte
