Took advantage of the sunshine to snap a few photos of the ol’ labor of love and her neighbors. We’re getting estimates for some exterior work this year and keep visualizing that trim in a fabulous black. ___ #frencheclectic #homearchitecture #neighborhoodwalk #oldhouselove #needspainting #restorationlife #oldhomelove #myoldhouse

Completely in love with the sunlight streaming into this room. The plants seem to be fans as well. We plan on finally getting rid of the red that was here when we moved in, but we’ve never solidified on a color. It’s so bright in here we could be adventurous with a dark color. 😃 —- #oldhomes #oldhomelove #sunroom #hangingplantseverywhere #sunlight #frencheclectic #colordecesions

We couldn’t be happier with our guest room to baby room transformation. Here are some happy close ups plus a glimpse at the little lady it’s all for. Also, thanks to this wonderful old house community I was clued into hunting for the perfect old house Children’s book 🤓 —- #nurserydecor #childofthe80s #rainbowbrite #colorfuldecor #missionfurniture #rockingchair #oldhouse #thisoldhouse #oldhomes

We’re in a constant battle of “ugh, let’s just rip it all out and DIY our kitchen (thus giving us a dishwasher and way to figure out how to prevent frozen kitchen sink pipes...) vs hiring an architect, remodeling company, and reeeeally having it re-done, including our breakfast nook and basement entrance. (This will take soooo much longer, $$$). You might ask, “why so extreme, just fix or replace that dishwasher there.” Well, friends, a prior owner decided to pump in cement to do tile for the floor after cabinets and such were in...in such a way we have to chisel the floor bit out in order to get the old dishwasher out. 😑 so yes, chalk this up to something we plan on changing. >>swipe for the kitchen we moved into, SO GREEN. . #52weeksofhome #52weeksofhomeweek9 #kitchendesign #smallkitchen #uglykitchen #oldhouseprobs #oldhouserenovation

Finally got artwork hung in my office...as you can see by the first pic, I have a thing for grandma-esque art... actually the smallest is a poem my grandmother kept - essential saying don’t show your love and appreciation at my funeral, rather spend time with me now. - 2nd pic has a painting by a friend and the 3rd pic just displays my 80s childhood. 😉 - #artworkonwalls #grandmaart #funkopopdarkcrystal #oldhomedecor #thisoldhouse #oldhomes #makeahouseahome❤️🏡 #walldecorations #ilovemyhouse

A little Valentine’s Day appropriate mantel decor. — #thisoldhouse #oldhome #frencheclectic #manteldecor #oldhouselove #diydecor

Our home decor is looking a little different these days and I hear it’s only going to get “better.” Either she’ll need to be a natural minimalist or we’re gonna have to get clever with old home + well placed kid things real quick. 😂 — #thisoldhouse #oldhouselove #raisingdaughters #restorewithrespect #frencheclectic #oldhouselife #oldhomes #newlifeproject #newparents

Our guest room went through a bit of an overhaul the last part of 2019... . Modified @anawhitediy “just my size” closet plans to take our old house meh closet to a much more useful closet. . #thisoldhouse #oldhomelove #oldhomerenovations #diycloset #nurserydecor #allthecolorsoftherainbow🌈 #houseproject
