House August 2011

As I feel quite a few changes coming for our home in the coming months, I thought I'd snap a few photos of what it looks like now that we've had two years to settle in. We are nothing, if not slow to make changes, but we've put our stamp on it in our own way. Part of the appeal for buying a home that was move-in ready was that we didn't have to spend extra to make it livable. That part is wonderful. The other part is that changes come more slowly and it takes longer to break from the cookie cutter because nothing is "broken." Anyway, here she is in August 2011.

I snapped these when we were prepping for some friends to come over for an end-of-the-summer happy hour. And I didn't bother to move around some of our normal clutter. This is how we live, people.

The laundry room curtain to hide the disorganization of the shelves above the appliances.

The living room:




The entryway:



The office:



The hallway:


The guest bedroom right after the Winnie the Pooh wallpaper was removed.


The guest bath:



The master bath:



The master bedroom:




Areas of major concern include:
  • guest bedroom paint/makeover
  • the laundry room.....something has to happen...
  • general decluttering of the whole house - especially the office
  • finishing touches for the master bedroom
  • repainting of the master bath to make it more neutral
