Welcome to our lovely home where we constantly have naked children running around.
Ahem.
Hey, laundry is not my favorite past-time. If you have boys then you know that…clothes…are optional until you are five.
I try to keep my house fairly picked up and clean. You know, just in case you were to pop in and say hello. But, my kids? I can’t always promise you they are “visitor ready”. In fact, they will most likely need 3 minutes to throw on some pants.

We built our home in 2011 and ever since…I’ve had my dad working on a constant Pinterest project.
Lucky for us, he is free labor. I wouldn’t have been able to do HALF of the stuff in our home if it weren’t for his help.
If you are curious as to where I got something please click on the links under each room and it will take you to a page dedicated to that specific room (and a source list will be at the end of each post).
Some of the new room makeovers do not have source lists yet (but are coming soon)!
– Exterior –
– Bathroom –
Sorry to start with the bathroom, but we just re-did our hallway bathroom with subway tile and marble floors. I am in love.
Post coming soon.
– Dining Room –
I have updated this dining room about 900 times. The latest look…
The old dining room looked like this…

– Living Room –
Our living room gallery wall is ever evolving, but here is the post on the EXPLORE wall that I used to have up.
We added a little pop to our fireplace by using trim and paint… check that out here.
– Nursery –
Miss Nella’s room is one of my all time favorites!
Post coming soon.
It used to be an elephant themed nursery for when SJ was a little guy. It was so fun to turn it all pink!
– Master Bedroom –
The original design of our master bedroom was dark and dreary. I have lightened things up a bit since then.
It went from dark to light… see details for the white and bright here.
And then we got a new bed to go with the new bright white and it looks even brighter! LOL!
Post coming soon.
If you like the corner shelves above be sure to stop by my “How to Build a Corner Shelf” tutorial.
And if you want to take a walk through my closet to see how I stay so organized {and hear why I hide out in here when the kids are being crazies}!
– Master Bathroom –
The old master bathroom details are here. I am working on an updated source list.
– Boys Bedroom –
The latest big boy room is the sports themed bunk bed room.
The boys play musical beds so you never know which kid will be sleeping where. Haha! The other boys bedroom we have is set up to be a shared room as well.
Pop over to my Big Boy Room post to see the old transportation themed room.
Or check out this Alphabet Themed Toddler Bedroom.
That turned into this robot room.
Oh, and by the way…I love to decorate my house with my kids art. See how.
– Playroom –
You can visit my Playroom Decor post to see more playroom decorating ideas or check out my toy storage post!
– Basement –
The basement that my husband claims is “A Pinterest Cave” and he was hoping for a “Man Cave”. #oops
Update: I’ve converted the basement to a man cave playroom. Stay tuned…
As I mentioned, our home is a constant work-in-progress! I would just like to thank my husband for putting up with my 18 million ideas and more importantly, for footing the bill on those 18 million ideas.
And because I want you all to know that I truly am not superwoman and do not keep my house THIS clean {it’s all a front}… pop over to see my HOME TOUR SPOOF.
Trust me, you will instantly feel better about yourself.
You can find all of my projects HERE!

Thanks so much! It is a king and the color is not black (although it basically looks black). It was suppose to be a deep brown, but it definitely looks black…even in person. We got our bedroom set at Ashley Furniture.
Courtney says
Hi! i just found your site and love spending time on it 🙂 My husband and I just bought our first house and it’s a complete blank slate. I don’t know where to start! When thinking about paint colors, how do I make sure the whole house coordinates? HELP !!
Mandy says
I would by no means call myself a paint expert :)…but the best part about paint? You can always repaint if you hate your choice! Haha! I used the Sherwin Williams website where you can play with different colors and different rooms. It helps a ton! http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/try-on-colors/color-visualizer/
Jennifer P says
Where are your white ruffled curtains from in your dining room they are so pretty??

Mandy says

Abbey says
I posted in a reply to a earlier post but figured I should just post my own – haha. I LOVE your master bedroom. I have not a one creative bone in my body and have been looking for inspiration for over a year. Your room – no your house is it! 🙂 How long ago did you find your comforter at Ikea? Your home is beautiful!!! Do you have a good recommendation of where to find pillows and curtains similar to what you have in your MBR? thx much!
Mandy says
Wow! Thank you very much! I got the comforter over 9 months ago so I am not sure they would still have it. I always get my pillows at Home Goods or TJ Maxx! Throw pillows can be so overpriced so I wait for good deals.
Ellen says
I now have house envy…you are so talented at bringing all the colors and patterns together. Love everything! Can you tell me what colors you used in the kitchen – walls and the pillars. Would love to try this in my kitchen.
Bridget yazell says
Where did you purchase the two types of bar chairs in kitchen

Angela says

Hi! Just found your blog on pinterest, what a cute home! I love it! Where did you get the rug in your living room? I
llooovvveee the paint color in there too!
Mandy says
Hi! Thanks so much! The rug is Martha Stewart from HomeDecorators.com. The paint color on the wall with the tv is called Hot Stone by Valspar {Lowes}. Hope that helps!
Lily Diaz says
Hey Mandy,
Love your bedroom!!! What color curtains do you have? are they brown like the wall? Also, the corner shelves on the left, where did you get those, or did your dad make?
Mandy says
The curtains are a very dark brown (almost the same as the wall) and I got them at Pier 1. The corner shelves were built by my dad. Thanks for your compliments on my bedroom!
Shuna says
Great job! Your home is BEAUTIFUL!! I was wondering though, about the small corner shelves in your bedroom that your dad built. How did you mount them without showing hardware?? LOVE them!
Mandy says
Thank you! They are floating shelves that he built…and I just convinced him to write up a tutorial on how he did it. 🙂 Hopefully I can post it soon!
Nicole says
I was wondering where the rug in your living room is from???
Mandy says
HomeDecorators.com and it’s Martha Steward brand.
shelagh says
Love your house, you did a wonderful job. could you please tell me where you got the love sign and mirror over your bed? Thank you
Mandy says
Thanks so much! Love mirror is from Hobby Lobby and black mirror is Target.
Jennifer says
Love your bedroom! I see from previous replies that you got your headboard from Ashley Furniture. Any idea on what the brand name was?
Mandy says
Thank you! It’s been over 8 years ago so I really have no idea. I’m sorry!!
Heather says
Do you remember the style name of your bed from Ashley? How long ago did you get your bed! LOOOOOOOOVE it!!
Mandy says
Thank you! We bought it over 8 years ago so I really couldn’t tell you the style name. My guess is they don’t have the same one anymore, but I am sure you can find something similar. It’s “sleigh” style, if that helps.
Heather says
The Ashley website directed me to the Pilgrim furnature store who had a bed very similar to yours. We’ve been looking for months. So we bought it yesterday! So excited! Glad I found your blog on pinterest!
Mandy says
Awesome! Glad you found something similar!
Jennifer says
Beautiful home!!! You have inspired me. My kids have been after me to decorate and I can not do it! ha. I love the collage of pictures in frames on the wall by table. I would love to do this.
Kara Marchinski says
Ok, Mandy, can I just wrap your house around me? LOVE your style!! I went to Home Depot to look for Bittersweet Chocolate by Behr and all they have is Bitter Chocolate…could that be the color you used?
Mandy says
Thank you!! I’m sorry, I was wrong the color is Glidden Bittersweet Chocolate! Still at Home Depot. I hope that helps!!
Kara Marchinski says
That does!! Thank you so much for clarifying! Excited to see the color in person 🙂
Whitney says
I read from a previous post that the rug in your living room was
Martha Stewart Living from homedecorators.com. Is it the Grand Demask Area Rug in the Molasses color?
Mandy says
Yep! That is the one!
cathy says
I love your style! Love your house. I was wondering where you got the laugh sign in your dinning room?
Mandy says
Thank you! I got it at Hobby Lobby!
Courtney says
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the whole house!! 🙂
Where did you get the storage unit for the playroom? Or was that custom made?
Courtney says
Also- is the light paint in the playroom the Lambs Ear from the bedroom?
Thanks!! 😉
Mandy says
Yes, it is Lambs Ear.
Mandy says
Thank you! It was custom built by my dad, but it is similar to the Pottery Barn Kids ones if you are looking to buy one. OR (if you want to try and make one) you can check out http://ana-white.com/. She has tons of tutorials!
Courtney says
Thanks! Now that I’ve discovered this blog, there will probably be more questions to come! 🙂
Mandy says
No problem! I will do my best to answer them! Haha! 🙂
Courtney says
If you can convince your dad to write up a plan for the playroom bookshelf, I’d love to have it. I like his the best.
Mandy says
I ask him this morning and he said he would do his best…but no promises that it will be this week.
Nina says
This page is so cute!! Such a beautiful, home, Rose Family!!!
Kaleigh says
Where did you get the curtains and do you know the length? BTW…Your house is BEAUTIFUL!!
Mandy says
Curtains are Target…not sure on length! I can measure them and get back to you. Thank you!
Kaleigh says
I’m sorry…i meant to say in your master bedroom!!
Stacey says
I wonder how many times someone can ask you what your MBR wall color is…haha! anyway…I love the kitchen. What color are your cabinets and where did you get them…Ive been thinking about going dark and it really does look great in a large space!
Mandy says
They are like a dark expresso color! Can’t remember the brand, but I will look in my home binder.
