Our House

So I wanted to post some pictures of our house first of all, because it was a disaster when we moved in and it is truly a work of art to see it transformed, and secondly, because I'm very proud of my "interior decorating on a budget" skills. Of course, if I had all the money in the world, I could make it much cuter, but as for DI finds and "free" items on the side of the road, I must admit it's not too shabby (well, maybe a little "Shabby Chic"). Almost everything had to be changed when we moved in - the carpet, paint, light fixtures, and appliances. We even repainted and stained the banisters. I chose yellow for the majority of the walls and was a little shocked when we got it up. I thought it was going to be overwhelming, but with the contrast of the furniture, it turned out to be the perfect shade. It makes the house so bright and happy - especially during the winter. It was a lot of hard work but it was also a lot of fun. I'm glad we bought a house we could customize. It's definitely not finished yet, but I would appreciate anyone's comments.

You are a great decorator! Your house is adorable - I love the Shabby Chic look. I looked at your pictures before I read your post and was shocked to discover any of your cute furniture or decorations were DI or roadside finds. It's very cute!
