VALENTINE'S DAY | HOME TOUR

It's no secret that I love decorating. I love the pops of color for each season and trying to get creative with things we already have and then finding a few new pieces that are within budget. And a lot of that comes from the good ole Target dollar section, ha! I don't decorate the whole house for each season, but I love adding some seasonal decor to the areas we are in the most, which would be the kitchen and living room. So here is our home decorated for Valentine's....

The living room

 I picked up the heart doilies at Dollar Tree and already had some red and white twine that I thread through them to make a cute and really cheap banner! The only thing with the doilies is that the heat from our fire place made them crinkle up a bit....as you can tell in the picture below, so I just took a few more doilies and put behind them to make them thicker and that helped for the most part! A few crinkled hearts didn't bother me too bad lol.

 The kitchen 

So, so excited to update this chalkboard every season or for special occasions!

Our coffee bar even got a small touch!

 My absolute favorite milk glass dish, ever. It was used in our wedding and I think it will always have a home on our kitchen table. I love filling it with small seasonal decor (lemons in the summer, pumpkins in the fall, pine cones or ornaments at Christmas, etc.). 

I LOVE IT.

And I found this sign at Dollar Tree that I threw up on the door in the hall way.

And our dining room...I shared our Valentine's Day tablescape, here.

That's it! Just a few small touches can make such a big difference. We are keeping all things red and pink up until the end of the month and then it's all things SPRING!

And since everyone should have already received their Valentine's card, we sent this to all of Reagan's puppy friends lol.

VALENTINE'S DAY | HOME TOUR

TOUR OF OUR NEW HOME

I'm so excited to share this post with y'all today! We knew the house was a little outdated in some some rooms and that if we bought this house we would have some work to do, but honestly that's exactly what we wanted. We wanted something that we could do some work on but not something that was going to make us the next Chip and Joanna Gaines. So with that being said, here is our house! We are so excited to begin working on our house and take it room by room.

The entryway

It's a two story entryway and Matthew's first words when he saw the entryway was "this is the perfect place for a 12ft tall Christmas tree." I was one proud wife! ;)

 Study and dining room

Around the stairs is the study. Some people use it as a formal living room, but we don't want to have a formal living room. So we decided to make it Matthew's office. 

Dining Room

Connected to the dining room and kitchen is the dining room. That wallpaper will be coming down within the next two weeks ;) I am in love with the wainscoting. So pretty!

Up next is the kitchen!

Again, this wall paper is coming down very soon! The kitchen and dining room are where we are going to do quite a bit of work. We are so excited to redo the kitchen!

Living Room

We plan on taking that half wall down so the entrance into the living room isn't so small.

So excited we have a fireplace, and I am loving those 3 big windows!! So much natural light pouring in.

Not pictured downstairs:
Around the corner from the kitchen is a small storage closet, half bath and a entrance to the garage.


Upstairs:

There are 3 guest bedrooms that all look just like this. We are so excited to have family and friends be able to stay with us now!! One guest bedroom will be my office and I will finally be able to put my new desk somewhere!!

Guest bathroom

Master bedroom

Master Bathroom
Double vanity, actual vanity, and water closet...I was SOLD.

Through the door on the left is our walk in closet! Woo hoo for having a bigger closet!













Not picture upstairs:
Linen closet and laundry room

Our backyard

It's a decent size yard and it's fenced in! The sellers left their trampoline lol.

And that's our house! We are so excited and so grateful for the opportunity to have a home of our own! We keep telling each other we can't believe we have a house, but we do! We feel like it was just yesterday he was picking me up for our first date and here we are almost 6 years later, married and just bought our first house! So incredibly blessed to be doing life with Matthew.
