Master Bedroom Makeover

We recently made over our master bedroom - again. Poor Steve. That room is hard to paint because of the tres ceiling and bulky furniture. I have to laugh at some of the changes it's been through...

1999 - Yellow walls with white sponge paint on top!

2003 - Diamonds glazed on top of blue

2006 - Gold glazed on top of mustard yellow

One of my favorite things in the picture above is the wooden box at the foot of our bed. Steve made that for me back in the day & it's been several different paint colors over the years.  But it's so useful for holding pillows and blankets. I love it so much ❤️

2010 - off-white and apple green walls

And welcome to 2020! New paint color (thanks to reVision Renovations for painting it for us this time!), new carpet, a barn door (made by our buddy, Thad), and a new seating area. We also did away with our dressers because we put built-ins in our closet when we did our Master Bathroom & Closet Makeover which freed up a lot of space in our bedroom. I spend a lot of time in this room and have enjoyed the lighter and brighter color scheme! ...

Living Room Makeover

Our living room has been decorated in several colors over the past 20 years but for some reason I was always drawn to green. Check out the birdhouse mural and country decor from 2000 😂...

And then in 2006, we "updated" to more jewel tones and more hand-painted furniture...

Oh my. Those colors crack me up. So our 2020 update with greys & lighter colors were a very welcomed change! 😉

We updated the fireplace area by removing the green tile and replacing it with brick & a cedar mantle. We also added shiplap to that wall and added cedar shelves. And finally replaced our dingy carpet with large cement tiles & an updated rug.

It's still a work in progress as I'm on the hunt for light, wooden Roman shades for window treatments, new pillows for our couch, and I'll probably remove the collage wall & do something different there soon. One of the joys of having our own house - making it comfy & our own favorite spaces!

Shopping list:

Black cabinet & most of the shelf & wall decor - Hobby Lobby

Tile floors - Home Depot

Tribal rug - RugsUSA

Dining Room Makeover

Our dining room has seen red and white french country from about 1998-2011...

To African from about 2012-2018...

Of course, farm house style and lighter and brighter colors became popular after that so some necessary changes needed to be made...

Front Porch Makeover

I recently had so much fun updating a front porch for a friend of mine. The first four pictures are the before shots. The first big change was painting the door from red to turquoise. Then we added lots of personality to make it a welcoming entryway when you visit their home...

I love the shelves and think she'll have fun adding holiday/seasonal decor and changing out items over time. I had to restrain myself from adding pumpkins and scarecrows in August LOL 😂. Counting down the days to September 1st when (in my mind) I can break out the fall decorations!
