Corey and I have officially lived in our new house for a little over a month now, so I figured it was high time for a house tour. Get ready to be completely overwhelmed with photos, and please don’t be too harsh on us – we just finished unpacking, so we’re going more for “clean” than “beautiful”. We’ll get there eventually.
Let’s start in the living room.
The living room is probably the most “finished” of all of the rooms in our house, though it has a LONG way to go. I might write up a post next week with a quick to-do list to give y’all an idea of what’s to come, but trust me when I say every room in this house is far from finished!
Next, our newly- filled dining room, and the kitchen.
That’s about all there is worth seeing downstairs. There’s also a small laundry closet, a pantry, and a half bath down here, but trust me when I say they aren’t worth photographing.
Upstairs, we have our bedroom, and our two extra rooms.
The guest room is incredibly boring right now, but it’s pretty low on our priority list. It’s the home for Ranger’s kennel until we find a better place to store it, and it also currently holds our emergency bag.
The office is just as bad.
Across the hall from the office is our guest bathroom. It’s a bit awkwardly shaped and in horrible need of a complete overhaul, but it’s functional!
And, of course, we have our room.
Our bathroom is one of the worst rooms in the house, though it’s also one of the rooms with the most potential. I gag a little big every time I see that horrible color on the walls, so hopefully we’ll get around to fixing that sooner rather than later.
And, just because no one believes me when I say it exists: the toilet spotlight.
It shines directly onto the toilet. Oh, and that towel rack above the tub is horribly crooked.

Whew. Awkward, aren’t I?

Hopefully over the next few weeks you’ll start to see some changes happening once again – we’re at a bit of a standstill with our budget, so we have to do a bit of saving before we can get started on anything else. In the meantime, we’ll do some dreaming of what’s to come!

What are some things in your home that you’d love to change?
Amber says
Ahh, I love your color palette as well, but completely understand bringing in new colors…I’ve had that issue. I have a ton of grey/yellow/blue/turquoise going on in my kitchen/living room and bedroom….but definitely need to bring in some different colors to mix things up.
p.s. LOVE your couch, I want it! 🙂
FollyWife says
You’ve got a great palette to work with! I love your stair photo cluster!
Our Wired Lives says
everything is really beautiful! Great work. Your pops of yellow are seriously divine.
Jennifer says
I followed you over from Weddingbee and this is my first time commenting. I just wanted to say that I love your blog and your house is beautiful! I can’t believe you’ve done all that work in just a month. My favorite part is what you’ve done with the foyer/living room, but my most favorite is definitely the toilet spotlight. I should get one of those. Also, where did those yellow prints in your dining room come from? They’re adorable. Can’t wait to see what you continue to do with your home!
Amanda says
Thanks! Those prints were a gift, but I believe they’re from Target. 🙂
Katie says
Wow – it is looking so great!!! Love what you’re doing 🙂
Bonnie Joy says
I love what you’ve done with your house, especially how you incorporated your wedding colours 🙂
Steph says
For only being there a month, I’m super impressed at how great the place looks! I love how you’ve decorated so far.. especially love the wall color in your bedroom!
Casey says
We have really similar tastes in colors! Our living room is grey with white trim, adn our kitchen/dining area is “pineapple fresh” so yellow. Right now we also have a bunch of darker blue paint chips up for our bedroom (We also have an “always kiss me goodnight” sign up too!) It has taken us 2 1/2 years to pick the colors that we do have, so I think youare doing great for just being there a month!
Ali @ His Birdie's Nest says
You have a lovely home! I love your living room 🙂 and your place is more put together after one month than our place is after 2 yrs!
Congratulations again on your new home!! 🙂
Brooke says
I’m still in love with that color you chose for your bedroom, it’s so dreamy! Your living room is also looking really great. Can’t wait to see the rest of the house as it all comes together!
Karen @sugarspicelivin says
Your place already looks awesome!
Meghann @ A Lovely Avenue says
Your house looks so great! Ya’ll have done such a good job for the short time that you have been there. Keep it up! I can’t wait to see more soon!
Galen says
Everything looks so beautiful! I LOVE your livingroom, and the gray & yellow. So gorgeous. Can’t wait to see how things progress from here; you have done so much in a month! Super impressed.
Morgan says
So fun to see everything you’ve done so far! It’s definitely looking like things are coming together!
Kelly says
The house looks great and you’ve made some amazing progress already! I love the yellow paintings hanging in your dining room– they are so cute and cheerful!
Jessica says
I’ve probably said this before, but the gray paint looks amazing in your house. Everything looks awesome!
Mimi says
Love your wall colors!
We’re expecting delivery tomorrow of our own C&B Basque dining table… I’m so excited. Yours looks gorgeous in that huge dining room! We only have a small “dining area” so we went for the smaller table.
Amanda says
I hope you love it as much as we love ours!
Amanda @ The Fix-Its says
Your house looks amazing! I adore the paint colors and progress you’ve made!
Amy C. says
Oh! Where did you find that lovely chevron rug in your kitchen?! I need it! : )
Amanda says
I actually made it from a plain sisal rug I found at Home Goods! You can see the post about it here: https://www.loveandrenovations.com/2011/05/youre-painting-a-what/
Abby says
Wow – I can’t believe you’ve done all of that in a month! Everything looks great! 🙂
Mina says
i can’t believe how much you two have accomplished in just one month! it’s looking great and you’re really making it your own.
Bri (Turtle) says
Wow! It looks so beautiful and lived in for just one month! I can’t wait to see it change and become even cuter as you guys renovate and add more things you love! Also, I am super jealous! I absolutely cannot wait until the day that we can own our own home!
Katie says
We’ve been in our house going on three months now and you guys seem much more settled in than we are! Nice work so far! Oh, and we have the same green + gray shower curtain, so of course I think you have great taste. 🙂 As far as things we’d love to change in our place, that list is huge — but for starters, we have three bathrooms that all need an overhaul and a den with wood paneling that I can’t wait to paint!
kelsey says
The house looks amazing! You all have already done so much. And the fun part is that you can just pick a new project whenever you want. I love it though!
Lyndsey says
Your house is beautiful! I love that you guys went bold in your bedroom with the wall color, and also that you put your tv on the stairwell wall rather than over the fireplace downstairs. I kind of hate TVs over fireplaces (even though that is where ours is, because thats where the connections were!). Also, I might steal your stairwell gallery design for my own house because I love it!
Lauren says
Thanks for the tour! I really like what you’ve done with the living & dining rooms and your bedroom! that bedspread goes so well with the paint color. I can’t wait to see all of the plans you have for your house.
Victoria says
I am always impressed with people when they move into a house and make it a home so quickly. I adore the yellow/gray/black theme. It looks great!
Melissa says
Looks liek you made a lot of progress for one month! I hate our bathroom, too. I can’t wait to renovate it, but we have some time before we start that project.
