My House

I am so very new at posting on blogs but I promise to get better! 

March my husband and I bought a house.  I was so excited!  I have never really had a home, mainly apartments.  So I couldn't wait to get in there and decorate!  But wait... I didn't know anything about decorating!  My first thought for this House was color color color and for the rest I didn't care! Well what you don't know about me is I am a Very anxious person, so when I wanted to paint everything... I did!  Every room had a coat of paint on them.  Blues, greens, browns, yellows and a little red.  I loved it at first,  But as I  searched different websites and looked at blogs I decided to go a whole different direction... Shabby Chic!  I thought that's exactly what I want my house to be, but wait, I just spent the last 20 hours doing the exact opposite of what I want.....  White walls!  But at this point I just haven't had the energy to re-paint what I already did lol I will someday.  I am more focused on the yard sales and antique malls right now.  Trying to find all the little items I need.  I am pretty much starting from scratch, I just keep buying little by little until I get there.  Here are a few pictures of the house before we did anything to it.


Living room


  The littlest kitchen ever!  This was at the top of the list!
  We couldn't even open the fridge all the way with out hitting the counter!
                                            



This is the after, I love it!  The bright white cuboards where prefect and so much extra room!
Notice we put in a dishwasher!  A must have for our house!
                                           

I painted the walls more of a mustard yellow and I have to say I still very
much like this, I dont think I will re-paint this room.



So now here I am painting little things here and there with Color, and as I look at it I hate it!
I cant believe I ever had my house look like this lol
                                          
                                                                  
   Even painted the trim bright yellow!

                                     

                                         
  Now the living room, a beige and dark brown, its hideous!
I look at this picture and ask myself what was I thinking..

 Now this is my TINY TINY bedroom, and yes it is the Master bedroom!  
  Just don't know what to do with it... In fact I still dont know what to do with it! 

                    Ive always said I wanted a green bathroom, and well I definitely got it!  It wasn't the green I was hoping for but it worked for now.  I do like how it goes perfect with the picture.

                                                  
  Bathroom number 2, I was experimenting with Lines!



   This is my second time re-arranging the living room, just playing
around with some new items I had found.

                                    
 Painted the living room.. Again a nice cucumber green, I love it and still do.
Also a few new items found at the antique mall.
                            

                                            
   Still not feeling this corner... it needs some work.
                                  
  This is my basement, I was experimenting with a gorgeous
door I found.
                                


   My hall way down the stairs of chic frames!



              These are all older pictures of my house.. Just so I could get everyone caught up on what I have done.  Its changed alot since, I just havent taken any new photos yet, but its on my list for this weekend!
Along with several projects I have, found some amazing dressers and tables last weekend
waiting for me to fix them up!
