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.

Hi, can you please tell me more about the chair and ottoman in your nursery? How beautiful!
Thanks!
Looks just like the one I purchased online from Target.com. Search for damask glider or recliner. If they still have it, it should pop up.
It is from Poshtots.com and it’s the Regal Loose in Ophelia Dove! 🙂
Love your place!!! Curious what your wall color is in the living room??
Thank you! The color is called Hot Stone by Valspar {Lowes}.
The home tour is fabulous! I love that first picture of you in the yard holding your hand up!! Too cute!! I NEED to do this on my blog!! In fact, this was one thing we talked about at Haven!!
LOVE your decorating! Where you by chance a Phi Mu? I see all the quatrefoils!
Your home is gorgeous, great job!! Can I ask where you found your bed at? I love it 🙂
Thanks! The bed is from Ashley Furniture.
Hi There! I love your masterbed room set, do you mind sharing where you got it?
Thanks!
I’d love to know where you got your headboard from?
I couldn’t find it on Ashley’s website. But Pilgrim furniture has onevery similar to it. The style name is Kensington. My husband and I just bought it this weekend!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing that information so I can pass it on to others!
Thank you! It is from Ashley Furniture.

I should probably tell you which room…haha I meant in your bedroom! 🙂
The lighter color in the master is called Lambs Ear by Valspar {Lowes}. The dark brown is called Bittersweet Chocolate by Behr {Home Depot}.
Your home is absolutely gorgeous and MY dream home! Simply beautiful! Fantastic job…
Thank you!
Hello, your home is beautiful!! 🙂 I also would like to know where you got your bed from? And is it a king? Is the color black?
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.
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 !!
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/
Where are your white ruffled curtains from in your dining room they are so pretty??
They are from Urban Outfitters
Love it all!!! Where are all the frames above the bed from? I saw the tree one is from hobby lobby.
Ahh just read more about master bedroom and found out. Thanks!!
Thanks for the compliments!
what color did you paint the walls in the master bedroom
great look!
The dark color is called Bittersweet Chocolate by Behr from Home Depot and the light color is Lambs Ear by Valspar from Lowes.
Can you come decorate my home? If not can I send you a picture of my living room and will you tell me what I should do with it? Love your entire home!!!
Thanks!! Such a compliment!! If I had time I would love to do decorating for others on the side!
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!
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.
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.
Where did you purchase the two types of bar chairs in kitchen
It’s been awhile, but I purchased them at Lowes!
Hi there. Love your house! Could you tell me what color your accent wall is in the master bedroom? We are painting ours and i love that color! Thanks! jana
Thank you! Bittersweet Chocolate by Behr from Home Depot
You rock! Thanks!
Love your home! I was wondering if you purchased the IDEA sign in your office or did you make it?
Thank you! I did make it and I did a tutorial here: https://houseofroseblog.com/my-idea-for-above-the-idea-board/
Super easy!
Where did you puchase the “laugh” frame hanging in the dining room? Thanks so much!!
Hobby Lobby
Hi! Love your large family canvas print! Was this a DIY Pinterest project?
It was not. I actually ordered it from the photographer that took it for us. It’s a 40×60 canvas and I know you can order them online.
What is the color of the paint you used in the bedroom?? I love the dark!
Bittersweet Chocolate by Behr {Home Depot}
Did you purchase the bench at the foot of your bed or remake something??? Love it and want one for my room!
I bought it at Home Goods and then I reupholstered it with a tan fabric!
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!
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!
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?
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!
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!
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!
I was wondering where the rug in your living room is from???
HomeDecorators.com and it’s Martha Steward brand.
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
Thanks so much! Love mirror is from Hobby Lobby and black mirror is Target.
Love your bedroom! I see from previous replies that you got your headboard from Ashley Furniture. Any idea on what the brand name was?
Thank you! It’s been over 8 years ago so I really have no idea. I’m sorry!!
Do you remember the style name of your bed from Ashley? How long ago did you get your bed! LOOOOOOOOVE it!!
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.
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!
Awesome! Glad you found something similar!
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.
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?
Thank you!! I’m sorry, I was wrong the color is Glidden Bittersweet Chocolate! Still at Home Depot. I hope that helps!!
That does!! Thank you so much for clarifying! Excited to see the color in person 🙂
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?
Yep! That is the one!
I love your style! Love your house. I was wondering where you got the laugh sign in your dinning room?
Thank you! I got it at Hobby Lobby!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the whole house!! 🙂
Where did you get the storage unit for the playroom? Or was that custom made?
Also- is the light paint in the playroom the Lambs Ear from the bedroom?
Thanks!! 😉
Yes, it is Lambs Ear.
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!
Thanks! Now that I’ve discovered this blog, there will probably be more questions to come! 🙂
No problem! I will do my best to answer them! Haha! 🙂
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.
I ask him this morning and he said he would do his best…but no promises that it will be this week.
This page is so cute!! Such a beautiful, home, Rose Family!!!
Where did you get the curtains and do you know the length? BTW…Your house is BEAUTIFUL!!
Curtains are Target…not sure on length! I can measure them and get back to you. Thank you!
I’m sorry…i meant to say in your master bedroom!!
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!
They are like a dark expresso color! Can’t remember the brand, but I will look in my home binder.
