This bedding from Land of Nod is adorable and I'm sure you could buy one of the duvets to fashion into curtains or a bumper pad/bedskirt....

Wow, thank you everyone!! I just got home from work a little while ago & before I left I didn't even know my entry was going to be posted today. :) Yes, the curtains were a once in a...

Thanks everyone! :) Dianalily, we are considering planting some hostas and probably some taller shade plants on the wonky incline next year. I'd like it to have a sort of wildflower...

Super cute idea!

I almost think you should hang a semi-sheer curtain to create a semi-transparent "wall" on the side opposite the kitchen door (ikea's kvartal ceiling tracks and panels come to mind) and leave the o...

wanted to add that a wall mounted lamp with the drawn curtains could make it into a reading nook for the older kid who wants to read at night while the younger sibling sleeps.

Fondo & LadyDesign, the art in the dining room is a piece that I sketched/colored and had printed onto fabric. I am thinking about selling it through my Etsy shop eventually. The beds...

Thanks again everyone! Sally305, I am hoping to do a house tour in the fall once things are a bit more polished (but in owning a home it will likely never be "finished".... we have a list of proje...

Thanks again! Baileyb, you shouldn't feel boring because you prefer more neutral colors in your home. As long as you're happy with it, comfortable in your surroundings, and consider w...

Thank you! The peacock rug is from Urban Outfitters, this is the 60" rug but they also have a 30" version. And the paint color is Spring Moss by Benjamin Moore.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Just as some background info.... the house is not done/completely tweaked/polished yet, we bought it & moved in on April 2nd. So we've only been here about a mo...

I think that you should paint the outside a deep brown or black (or maybe even white). Then get something like

I almost think you should forgo the fireplace as architectural decor altogether - having the sofa facing it makes it more of an eyesore. I think you should get a large folding screen to hide the a...

I think the wall and trim colors work as well. I love the new furniture placement. And a screen (like an Indian wood carved folding screen) would look gorgeous as a headboard.
