Great tour. Guessing Ramona rooms in with her parents since we didn't see her room? That's a small bed for a couple!

Awesome job. I love how light and large the space feels now.

Very nice! I'm from Cincy too and am guessing her name with the spelling + your location is a nod to Charley Harper?

Man that's hard. I hate wood paneling. Having said that if you are embracing the wood, I'd keep to a very minimal palate and do everything in whites to lighten the space. White white white. It could look really cool then.

These make feel itchy just looking at them and makes me think of dust mites. Sorry.

Yeah whoa on the prices of some of these but a coupe are affordable. I don't know why I haven't thought of this. We need more seating and storage would be great for the outside toys that get thrown all over the patio.

I would get some contractor estimates on removal, painting, and I like the idea of the stucco. That immediately came to mind and would be a great option to smooth out the stone and make it disappear? I like the color. If you do gray I'd not have the porch gray too though.

I love the room. Everything about it. I saw this file sticker polka dot thing on another blog and totally forgot how fun and easy it is. Need to do!

You guys did a super job but I"m just curious what do you do after she outgrows this which will be really only 6 months or so at best......

Yeah this is great! It made me realize I totally don't fully utilize my ipad. I like the displaying photos on the wall like a frame and you could just have something up whenever the ipad was not there like they did - which would be most of the time.

Yeah this looks bizarre. how do you even see it with the coffee table right in front of it?

I really like the color of the top of the bar and think it would look great on the credenza as well. Good luck!

That is really striking! Nice work. I would go for different knobs though....

YES! I can see how some people might not be able to avoid it but I think it's an eyesore and tricky for viewing.

Gross. I would have thought this was an April Fool's joke if this was posted a couple days ago!


Would You Spend the Night at a Candy Hotel? The Mirror

There has only been one time we said no to family staying with us and getting a hotel - they LITERALLY were visiting on the day I was due with my second child and we were beginning to box up our house for a move 1.5 months after the baby was born. It was just bad timing. We felt really bad about it but it was just too much for us.

I really like 3. I think all the white in that kitchen balances the tile.

I love so much about this tour! Great job guys.

I gasped when I saw the dresser under the tv. I had that same dresser growing up and it was my mom's growing up as well from the 50s. I CANNOT believe I put it on the curb 10ish years ago in my early 20s. I just had no idea how great a piece it was. Sad!

What a pretty room! Love the gray walls with the bunting and white furniture. The carpet is a bit too loud for my tastes though.
