House Updates!

We have done a few small house projects this summer that I wanted to share.  

We finally painted our house!!  We have lived here almost 4 years, but the house is much older and was still the original color when we moved in and had faded and needed some fresh paint.  We love it!




We have been looking at plans to build a DIY wooden swing on the front porch.  We have room for these chairs out on the back lanai where they would get more use :)


It has taken me a few years, but I got some curtains for the front room this summer.  I also scored that rug on major clearance to pull the area together.



This area was originally set up as a formal dining space but we decided to just put our kitchen table next to the kitchen so we use it as an office area.  We have had all our furniture for many years and didn't like how this area had a few different colors of wood.  I spray-painted both filing cabinets with metallic gold spray paint and then spray painted all of the hardware oil rubbed bronze for a quick fix until we come up with a plan for this room.



We recently added these canvas prints above the bed and I put a charging station on each nightstand to organize our cords and have a safe place to charge everything at night.


Ava's room got a few updates this summer!  The changing table is gone and we shifted her furniture around to make room for a desk!  I also spray-painted some black frames I had in a tote from our previous house and hung some prints around her room :)



We are still working on decorations for the guest room but I recently painted it a lighter color and spray-painted this night stand satin nickel.



We still have many things we want to update in the house - but each summer while I am off we make a few changes and still love our home :)
