I am in the process of updating our House Tour Tab. Things change around here so quickly, it is hard to keep that page 100% accurate. However, with my new camera in tow, I have been making my way from room to room--tidying things up--and snapping a few current photos. We have now lived in our home 5 1/2 months and there are still a few spaces that we haven't touched (you can see those rooms on the house tour tab), but I thought it would be fun today to show you all of the things we have done. You can find links to all of the projects that went into our spaces (everything from paint colors to making our dining room chandelier) in the DIY tab and the House Tour tab, but let's just make this a pure show and tell. And if you think you have seen it all--there are a few tweaks that we haven't shared yet. Buckle down and let's get started:
This was our living room when we first moved in:
And this is how our living room looks today:
The dining room is adjacent to the living room. Back in April, it looked like this:
This is how it looks today (I recently changed the huge artwork):
The neighboring kitchen has gotten several easy-fixes in the last 5 months. It is hard to believe this is what it looked like when we first moved in:
Today, it looks like this:
Down a few stairs is our family room. When we first met the space, it looked like this:
We are still trying to find the direction we want to go in this room, but for now it looks like this:
Back up the few steps leading to the family room and headed up the larger staircase, we are met with a large wall. When we moved in, it looked like this:
Five months, and a few tweaks later, it looks like this:
At the top of the stairs, is the hallway. Once plain jane:
It has since received a coat of paint and a few frames to up the sophistication:
The hallway bath recently got a quick revamp. When we moved in it looked like this:
Today, it looks like this:
Down the hall a little further is Greta-girl's room. Her room was the very first room we turned our attention to upon moving in in April. Back then, it looked like this:
We recently added a large poster above her desk and moved a few of her poms over some floor cushions to create a reading space. Today it looks like this:
The last room we have started in our home is our room. But just barely. When we moved in, it looked like this:
And all we have done is add paint so far:
That's where we stand today--5 1/2 months in. We have yet to touch some rooms, but we are happy with the progress we have made so far. What's your favorite transformation? For me, I am completely enamored with the kitchen these days. The white cabinets and new appliances are so welcoming now.
What do you think?

Loved this post, love your home, and the feel. You inspire us Julie!
It's a totally different house! The kitchen is definitely my favorite transformation. It just looks so open and bright!
Close up to come. You can see it a little better in the shot of the stairway though.
The transformations really are amazing! I love that each room has such a personality, but there is a natural flow to each room because of similar color pallets. I LOVE IT! You guys have such an eye. And please, that picture with the new art work? What a teaser! It looks amazing though....a close up!?
Fabulous changes! Will definitely be following your blog.
