Home Tour, Part 1

I'm going to start posting pictures of our house the way it looks currently. Because I would rather be watching a movie with my hubby right now than uploading a million pictures to the blog, I'm just going to do a few rooms at a time :)

Living Room:

Don't mind the girls ;)

We made some big changes to this room a several months before we decided to put our house on the market. The biggest change was painting the walls. I LOVE the light neutral color! My style has kind of evolved over the past couple of years, and I've decided that I like the big things like walls and upholstered furniture to be neutral so that I can change smaller things up easily and inexpensively :) Another change is the white couch. We got this couch at an estate sale a while back. It's not in the greatest shape, but I wanted to see if I would like having a white couch before investing much money into it. Turns out I love it! I especially LOVE having a slipcovered couch! When we buy our next couch, I definitely want it to be slipcovered. I've found it to be SO practical with children! If we were staying in this house long-term, I would want to change the fireplace. The dark marble tile isn't really my style, and I've never been in love with the mirror over the mantel. All in all, I love this room, though!

Master Bedroom:

We haven't done much to this room lately. This was actually the first room we painted when we moved into this house almost 4 years ago, and we haven't painted it since. That's probably some kind of record for me! Ha! I'm ready for a change in our bedroom. I don't want to invest a lot of money into a major change, though, so I'm thinking I'm going to paint our furniture! I would also love to make a DIY upholstered headboard. We'll see. I'm not doing anything until we move anyway.

Dining Room:

A while back, I moved this rug from the living room into the dining room. I was also planning on painting the walls a light, blue/gray color. I seem to be slowly phasing red out of our house (I still love red, though!). When we decided to sell our house, I scrapped the plan to paint. I think the room would flow better with the rest of our house and furnishings if it was painted, but I also feel like a red dining room is pretty classic and will hopefully appeal to a lot of buyers :)

More to come...
