My new home



We have recently moved and I'm looking forward to getting this place charmed up now that I'm not working. There's so much to figure out. 



Dining area.



Need to remove the bench, as there's too much furniture in this room.





View from upstairs.  I love the cottage style chardonnay tile in this house.





Can't wait to replace this plain chandelier with my own.



I love all the arches in this house.



Beautiful arch ways through the entry way.



Wouldn't a fun chandelier look cool?






The entry area to my new home.  The walls were white, so I wanted to try jazzing 'em up a bit w/ color.  My next thought was to add a few daisies and then try making it look like aged wall paper by adding some tarnishing effect here and there.  It did not go as planned and now I'm left wondering...hmmmmm...what shall I do now?





This is my living room, which I'm still figuring out.  Now that I am not working, I have the time to dedicate on getting the house decorated, painted and arranged.  It truly was mission impossible trying to find the time to get the house put together while working full time.  Summer is here and I'm excited to get started!


Lot's to figure out.


The hideous kitchen!  My dream kitchen has white marble countertops, antique cream cabinetry w/ fluting and oil rubbed bronze knobs and hardware with stainless steel appliances.  We are renting this house, so not sure what I'll do!




Any and all input is appreciated.  I will post picture of the exterior as well, as it's so darling w/ castle rock and very cottage outside.  I'm currently working on the master bedroom and bathroom.  So much to do!  Thanks and God bless! :)  I feel so blessed as this past year has been such a journey for my family due to recession.




Here I am with beer in hand.  Cheers to all of us fabulous women who ride the roller coaster of life and come out swinging!  ...Us tough, yet sweet broads :)  xoxoxoxo
