Home Tour

WELCOME

When we first bought our house, we were actually really impressed with a lot of the updates that the previous owners did. It really set the ground work for a lot of the projects we’ve done since and has saved us a ton of money. Of course I’ll always want to do projects on my house, no matter what it looks like. So with that said, this tour will always be changing I’m sure. But we’ve put in a lot of work and here’s where we are now. Enjoy.

ENTRYWAY

Home Tour

Our home is a split level, so when you open the front door, you can either go up or down. It doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for organization (or for people lingering in that area lol). This IKEA shoe cabinet is perfect for our space. It’s thin and only has front legs. It’s mounted to the wall so it doesn’t take up much room. It fits a lot of shoes, too. YAY.

LIVING ROOM

This room has come a long way since we moved in. It was basically just a blank canvas. We’ve since added the “fireplace”, which gives it a focal point and makes it feel like it has a purpose. This space where we spend the majority of our time, so it’s important to me that it’s functional and cute (surprise surprise). 😉

KITCHEN 

Home TourHome TourHome Tour

Our kitchen has changed so much since we moved in. It’s not really a place we hang out much, simply because it’s small and there just isn’t much room to linger. We do however use our kitchen a lot. What you don’t see in the picture is the high chair that usually lingers with a cute, always hungry baby in it. 🙂

I was trying to post this with original audio of m I was trying to post this with original audio of me explaining each item and my thoughts on the price etc etc but apparently I don’t have that capability yet on IG… so, enjoy this reel and just know that I had a lot more to say. 😂
A little IG vs reality for ya. Swipe to see the mo A little IG vs reality for ya. Swipe to see the more realistic view (which is really not bad at all 😂).
I feel like my house is just constantly a mess, no matter how hard I try. Anyone else? It feels like I’m always behind, and to be honest, it bothers me a lot. It overwhelms me and stresses me out. It keeps me from being content and present. Between things constantly being broken (hello middle child) and just too much stuff in general.
Here’s what I’m working on to simplify and calm the chaos.
1. I’ve been removing all toys that don’t get played with often. We currently have magnatiles, Duplos, and race cars out. The rest have been moved to storage in the basement for the moment. We’ll see what we keep as my kids do sometimes notice toys they’re missing and ask for them.
2. I’ve been ruthlessly getting rid of stuff - whether donate or trash. If we don’t absolutely love it, or we have multiples, or no one touches it, or we have a huge pile of random papers and crafts. Gone. 😂 it’s so relieving.
3. I often have artwork and decor laying around because I don’t fully know where it’s going yet. I’ve been removing anything that doesn’t serve a purpose and have been putting it in basement storage. No point having it sit there and clutter. I’ll go get it when I’m ready to hang the picture or use the decor.
4. I’ve been re-assessing where we need more storage. I replaced a dresser that didn’t functional well with a $50 homeschool cabinet from FB marketplace and it’s been so much better.
5. As I remove things from our every day view, I’m noticing the ability to better enjoy the everyday messes and real life, because it isn’t so out of control and overwhelming.

I hope this is encouraging for mamas in the same boat ✨

We spent a lot of time in our front yard, but never really on our porch. I bought this porch paint months ago and finally got it done! Now our porch is a cozy place to sit ✨ Inspired by @mustardseedbeginnings super cute porch.

SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨
