Our Humble Abode



Here is the 360 tour of our humble abode here in Iowa. The lighting and such in these pics is horrible but it gives you an idea. P.S. if you didn't read my previous post, the chocolate pudding walls won't be staying for much longer :)
The orange walls in the dining area were already here too. I'm not quite sure if I want to keep them or not. I don't want to completely repaint everything since we won't be here forever. What do you think?





















Good sized deck




















Dining area...Not quite loving all of this together but it will have to work for now. I will have to share the before picture of those chairs with you in another post. I got them at the DI for $4 a piece. They were brown before with nasty pink velvet upholstery.













































Kitchen



















Bench in our bedroom that I picked up at a consignment store. Unfortunately I don't have a before pic but the legs used to be painted brown and it was upholstered in some ugly maroon plaid fabric. I painted it and my amazing mom reupholstered it for me with some remnant fabric I got at the Bijou Market.



















Master Bath








































Our Bedroom (like I said the pudding wall won't be staying)









































































Guest Bath




















Built in bookshelf next to the fireplace. I was really excited about this feature of our place. I've always wanted a fun built in bookcase to stage. I think it turned out pretty good.

Table & Chair Matchup

The dining room is one place people really do their home a disservice.  How? They have a matching dining set, a generic light fixture, and no rug under their table.  Raise your hand if that's you.  Don't worry, you're not alone.  Just by adjusting those 3 things (mix up your chairs, add a fun light fixture, add a rug) you can really revamp your dining room.  Just bought your dining set and can't afford new chairs?  Easy.  Keep your side chairs, but find some upholstered chairs to add as captain's chairs on each end of the table.  It will mix it up just enough! Plus you'll have 2 extra chairs when you have guests over.  Another option is painting your chairs a different color from your table and add some fun cushions or reupholstering the seats.                                             ...
