Updated Living Room / Office {House Tour}

Sorry about the silence for the past week. I'll tell you all about it later :) In the meantime, we're rounding out our updated tour of the house.

One side of the living room was devoted to my office space. It also had our library.

This is the view from the front door. Office to the right and living room to the left.

There you have it! A completed tour. You can check out the rest under "Apartment Tour"

Updated Dining Room {House Tour}

Back before Story's birthday, ballet recital, and rainbow party, I was a cleaning fool trying to get everything ready for our guests. Our house hadn't been that clean in a long time. It sure was nice while it lasted. I was able to show you the master bedroom tour before all of the family time.

I feel like there were a lot of updates to the dining room that I didn't tell you about. I showed you a little bit of our new-to-us table, and you were able to see a bit in to the dining room when we revealed our "HELLO" wall art. Believe it or not, there have still been more updates since then.

The biggest change being the shelves. I swapped the bottom one out with another wooden one we had floating around. I then painted them the same color as the full bath and spray painted the edges gold.

(terrible photo. but it was the only one I had of the shelves up close)

 

This is the view from the living room looking back towards the full bath and bedrooms.

 

I'm not going to show you the view in to the living room. That's a surprise for a later post! It's pretty amazing.

This & That {Dining Nook}

Hey all, just a quick update on a few areas in the apartment. Now that Christmas is long over, I've had a chance to change up a bit of the decor in a few spots. About a week before Christmas we found out my Dad and Step-Mom were coming for a visit. Jordan and I put our butts into high gear and finally finished a few projects we've been meaning to do since we moved in, 4 months ago...

 

The biggest project was working on the dining nook. The left corner there used to be piled high with random boxes and bags. Lots of things we just didn't want to deal with, like ever. I'm not going to lie, majority of it ended up in the bedroom (the room that is completely unfinished...) But some of it got unboxed and finally displayed. Most of which has been put up since North Carolina. 

I had originally planned on putting stripes on this wall. Similar to this ::

But I think the shelves and all the stuff on them would look too cluttered with the stripes. I like how there are only the simple vases in the picture above. I might take the shelves down and paint the stripes, but I'm not sure. I'm going to live with it as is for a while.

Once the Christmas stuff was gone I was able to decorate our "sofa table" again.

My Step-Mom gifted me this great set of silver antlers. Jordan and Story got me the mercury bowl and white antler set I'd been eying. Jordan's Grandma gave me the domino decorating book (which has not stayed on the table long, I keep taking it to look through) The lamp is old and used to be in this corner. I've since changed a few things over there as well. All of which are temporary. I have big plans for the living room area. 

We have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us, and I have a few big projects to share with you. They are all over the place! Stay tuned!
