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.

Love your home…i have plenty of pinterest photos I use for inspiration when decorating my home…the tree with blue bird photo/canvas you have in the bedroom I actually just saw at hobby lobby today…ha
I absolutely love your house! I just moved into my first house and am inspired by your design pictures! I think I will do a collage wall with our wedding pictures:) I was wondering where you got your desk in your office? Thank you!
Thanks so much!! My dad actually custom built the desk and bookshelves. Sorry that doesn’t help you much!
Love your décor! Amazing eye for detail. Hoping that you will respond…I am trying to find your bar stools. I know it says Lowes, but not able to find them. Is there a name or # to help me in the search? Any help in greatly appreciated.
Brooke
Thanks so much! Unfortunately, it’s been over 8 years since I purchased them so my guess is that Lowes doesn’t carry them anymore. Try looking on HomeDecorators.com for something similar??
I love your home – it’s beautiful! And I especially love your master bedroom – looks like the perfect place to relax after running after boys all day 🙂
What cut edge is on your granite counter tops in your kitchen? Is it beveled?
I wish I remembered! It’s not beveled…it’s just got rounded edges?
Maybe you’ve already shared this, but I am curious what inspires you?
I am obsessed with your house! It’s so beautiful, it’s like my dream house. Just wanted to let you know that your blog has inspired me to start decorating my house again, I’ve been a stand still for awhile. You have also inspired me to start my own blog, and your “how to start a blog” helped me so much! Thanks 🙂 P.s. my husband just told me he is going to use his upcoming vacation time to paint anything & everything in the house I want…yay!
Awww, thank you Melinda!!

Hi Rose! was wondering wear you got your curtains in your bedroom…or if you can tell me what color they are? Couldn’t tell if they were black or a dark brown….also the picture on the right side of the wall above your bed…where is that from? thank you!
My goodness, your house AND the people you share it with are just lovely. I am definitely inspired by your set up. I can’t wait until my husband and I can finally buy a home!
OMG your house is sooo beautiful. you are really a creative person and decorate it superbly
What type of granite did you install in the kitchen? Looks like “Lennon” perhaps? Very nice!
