Downstairs Master Bedroom
We redid this room in fall 2018 for the One Room Challenge but it went through a few updates before I reeeally loved it. Then, we moved our rooms upstairs, so this is now just a spare room.
Summer 2020 version HERE.
HERE's the fall 2018 version.
Art above dresser: Vitruvian Man. Frame and mat from ArtToFrames
Mirror: IKEA (old), plus matte black spray paint
Otto's Room (Downstairs) (never finished)
Otto slept in this room on our main floor for 2 years, then moved upstairs to what was my office when Lucy was born and we shuffled things around.
Downstairs office
Otto's nursery became this office! I redid it for the Spring 2021 One Room Challenge.
Main bathroom
Upstairs hall/stair railings
See the tutorial for replacing the balusters, and some befores, HERE.Upstairs Office
I used this office spring and summer 2020 while working from home, before having Lucy. After she was born we moved our room and Otto's upstairs and made an office downstairs--it's not pretty yet. This room is now Otto's room, not quite done yet either.See the scary before photos and read about the simple changes we made to make this room an office quickly HERE.
Upstairs Bathroom
This half bathroom serves the two (and a half) bedrooms upstairs. We redid it in fall 2020 as part of the One Room Challenge (reveal HERE).
Lucy's Nursery
The funkiest but prettiest room in the house! It's a semi-finished bonus room we turned into a nursery. It's right off the largest bedroom upstairs (our room), very convenient for a baby. Reveal HERE.
Gazebo
More rooms coming soon! Like our upstairs master bedroom and Otto's upstairs room. They are so close to done... see the latest on my Instagram.
The Stanley 90's Reno was our fixer upper project from 2016-2017. Before we unexpectedly sold it and moved, we had it decorated pretty well! You can see a brief photo tour and shop sources for each room here.
