Home Tour Part Three | Elsie's Bedroom

Happy FRIDAY!!!

Oh, man. Words can't even describe how glad I am that this week is over. Anyway, time for the weekly home tour! I'll show you our office someday, but right now it is a room full of crap. That's not even an exaggeration. It's bad. So skipping the office, we will go to Elsie's room! I've made it a goal to keep her room pretty simple. A bedroom (in my opinion) is not for toys or playing - it is for sleeping and relaxation. Besides, I enjoy the fact that she can pretty much clean her own room because there's just not a bunch of crap everywhere.

At some point I would like to have an accent wall in here, but haven't found any vinyl decals that I'm in love with (sooo much easier and less permanent than paint). For now, it is a simple and clean space, and I am happy with it.

Home Tour Part Two | The Kitchen

Hey there! I know this post is a couple of days overdue, but we were traveling on Wednesday and yesterday was one of those days where I just lounged around and did absolutely nothing all day long (you know, besides chasing my kids around and keeping them alive... I've forgotten what it's like to do nothing).

Anyway, here is part two of my home tour! I like our kitchen a lot - I do wish there was just a bit more cupboard space, but at least this way we can't hoard stuff! HA!

I am looking for a way to decorate the wall above the table and just haven't found anything that I love. I would love to hear any and all suggestions that you may have for that space. Right now it is just empty and sad. I was thinking of some floating shelves with cute dishes on them, but am not sure. What do you think?

Home Tour Part One | The Living Room

So I know I've been MIA for basically the past year. I've popped in occasionally, here and there, but for the most part, I've been a craptastic blogger. Sorry about that.

Anyway. Over the past year, we've had lots of changes. One of those was a pretty big move. We left our home in Lincoln, NE and moved to the good old blogging headquarters of the world - Happy Valley (AKA Utah County), UT.

We lived in an apartment in Orem for about half a year while we looked for a place to call home. We ended up buying a home in southern Utah County. It has been quite the move, but I'll talk about all the crazy culture shock and adjusting and all that good stuff another time. Until then, I've decided to introduce you to a different room in our house each week. I, for one, really enjoy getting a peek into other bloggers' homes - it makes me feel like we are real life friends. :)

Week One: Our living room

Really, the thing I'm most proud of are my bookcases. I'm still looking for something to do with the 2nd to last shelf on each one, but I'll figure it out eventually.

 

I actually really love this room. When we first moved into the house, the walls and ceiling were brown and the doors and trim were a greenish tan. It looked so, so dark and I hated it. We ended up having the home painted about a week after we moved in. Totally worth it.

Someday we would like to put some wood floors in, but that might not happen for a couple of years, as there are other things we'd like to do first.

Have you done a home tour on your blog? I'd love to see it!!
