I am super excited to be a part of another Blogger Stylin’
Home Tours series this week!
Lindsay
from The White Buffalo Styling Co. hosted two other editions here and here, and now
it’s time for us to share our favorite rooms!
If you are visiting from Just a Girl, hellooooo and welcome!! I hope you like what you see! :)
My absolute, hands down, favorite room in our home is our "great room". When we purchased our fixer-upper, this space was closed off, dark and dingy. We quickly changed that during our main floor reno. Now, I can't help but love the bright and airy vibe in this space. The many windows flood the room with light and show off great views in every direction.
And although the room has an open layout, it still feels oh-so-cozy...thanks to our over-sized barn door and freshened up fireplace. There is no place I'd rather retreat to at the end of the day.

For quite some time I have been trying to come up with a great way to label my style, but I just can't put my finger on the exact description. Our home is a bit eclectic, fun, budget-friendly and comfortable, with a touch of glam.
I like to keep the price tags low, and the impact high. I have no problem spending a smidge more on large neutral pieces (like our sofa and dining table) and then working in a ton of Craigslist makeovers (like our buffet, console dresser and dining chairs), discount finds and DIY projects (curtain rods, curtain panels, wood shelves, art) in bright colors and bold designs.
I hope you enjoyed taking look around my favorite room, and don't forget to keep the BSHT series going and head over to
Eleven Gables! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Christy!! That means a lot! :)
DeleteI love a retro look in a home, especially the black and white floors. The mantel of the fireplace looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors in this room!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bethany!! :)
DeleteThe room is very fun, but those curtain panels are not acceptable. If you double (or triple) them, it will elevate your entire room.
ReplyDeleteI wish you didn't make yourself a no-reply commenter. I appreciate your suggestion, and understand where you are coming from. Thick, rich curtains look great!! But for our home, I like to be wise about where I spend my money since we are always on a budget, and I like that I could get a little pattern in our home without spending a lot and without covering any of our beautiful light and bright windows.
DeleteSo pretty! I love that you chose bright colors, too!! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Mallory!! :)
DeleteThanks for giving us a tour of your house! It really looks wonderful! I love how you decorated the whole room. Every corner seems functional and never left out of place. One look at it, and you'll know it is a lively home. Good job!
ReplyDeleteRichmond Gordon @ Certa Pro
Thanks so much, Richmond! :)
DeleteOh my gosh, Jill...thank you SO much!! That really means a lot to me! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your style!! Also love to know your wall paint colors if you can recall?? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! :) The paint color in our living/dining room is Behr's Gentle Rain. It's one of my favorite colors! Hope that helps!
DeleteHi Gabbi! Can I ask what color your dining area rug is? I'm looking at the same one on Rugs USA and trying to get a sense of the real colors. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley! It is actually the black and white version of the rug, but in person, I think it definitely reads more charcoal than black. I still love it though! Hope that helps! :)
