Half-a-home Tour

We moved into our first home almost two months ago, and I have been promising pictures to family and friends that whole time. Yesterday it was so warm and beautifully sunny, I finally got around to snapping a few.

Please do keep in mind that decorations are still sparse - we're fresh off the college/rental market so decor has never been high on the to-do list before. It is a work in progress. And I'm only showing off the first floor because the upstairs is still in need of furniture. It's basically two and a half empty rooms with a mattresses plopped in the middle. Not much to see up there :)

So here we go...


Here she is. I always wanted a quaint, little, yellow house. So really, this little baby is my dream house. I'm looking forward to doing a bit of landscaping and adding some greenery out front to give her a bit of curb appeal.


Some views of our living room. That big, red couch is our newest addition. 
Let's play a game. Take a look around my house and see if you can determine my favorite color? 


Yes, the picture frame is off center. Like I said, the couch is new. Things used to be centered.
I'd love to turn that wall into a gallery wall. We'll see how that goes.



I do love this kitchen. I've got so much counter space, and the big windows let in so much light!
I want to re-paint in here. I'm thinking grey cabinets and light yellow walls. Any thoughts?



Let's just say the bathroom is a little quirky. There are a few things that make you tilt your head and question, "why?" But it is what it is.  
However, as old as the house is (it was built in 1904), 
quirky would be a good word to describe it as a whole.


There you go. Our home.

We've got quite a number of projects planned to spruce it up a bit, 
but I couldn't imagine being happier with our purchase.

Today. Victorious.


Yesterday, mailing labels got the best of me.

They beat me down. They stripped me of my pride and my dignity.
(seriously, I almost cried)

They reduced me to a whimpering, whining pile of negativity.

They conquered me.

But today. 

Today I got back up. I picked up my pride and placed my dignity in its place.

I refused to whine. I refused to whimper. I looked on the bright side, and

I AM VICTORIOUS.

...take that mailing labels. what now?
*throws hands up in the air with game face on*
Oh. yeah.
