House Tour: Living Room

If you missed yesterday's House Tour of the kitchen, you're not too far behind. Today we're leaving the kitchen and heading to the living room! This is the only room that I have no changes for. I love our living room. I love the cozy, eclectic feel. I love our archways, picture window and original hardwood floors. I love how our furniture doesn't match, but still somehow goes together. I'm glad that the room doesn't revolve around a tv and is so open to the rest of the house. So without further ado, our living room:

House Tour: Kitchen

We were very energetic and ambitious when we first bought the house. We tore down walls, laid new flooring and painted, among other things. We love our little ranchelow and know that it's a work in progress. I've been holding out on pictures for far too long. There are some things about this house I absolutely love and would never change, but there are still quite a few things on our list to do. Time is on our side and we'll take on projects at our pace, so if you come over in a week, things could be different. Without further ado, our Kitchen:

This is the view of our kitchen from the living room. (It was my snow day when I took these pictures, hence the brightness.) The dishwasher is an eyesore, but it works amazingly well, so until it dies, it stays. Alex and his dad laid the flooring, we had the wall removed about 2 days after we moved in and Alex painted the weird yellow venetian plaster to this pretty grey (anonymous by Behr). We also changed out the lighting from an 80's dated fan and sconce (above the sink). 

When they removed the wall we had them close off a doorway so the kitchen would be separate from the hallway and so we could have a pantry. This little cabinet works great! Someday we may change it or not, who knows? 

Now for the little details that make a house a home:
