I’ve been wanting to share an actual home tour with you all, so I asked my friend Melody of Carpenter Photo for her assistance. The world just looks prettier through her lens. I first have to preface this tour with how peaceful the home tour looks. But I have to tell you. It was CRAZY to make this happen. First the kids were all home because of a snow day. Cleaning your house with kids is like trying to shovel a blizzard. Then, we had my three kids and my friend Mel’s two kids all running around during the entire shoot. And I also have to add that I decluttered for the photo shoot – the hallways and closets were filled with stuff. Now that I got that out of the way, here’s the tour!
I have never been able to show this wall of windows because of my lack of photography skills. I’m so excited to share this photo – especially because it’s one of my favorite things about our home.
I painted this piano a little while back, and you can see the tutorial HERE.
This is my office. My goal was to make it a happy space.

We recently added the wall paneling to our dining room. Click HERE to see the tutorial.
I painted almost everything you see in my kitchen. To see more about the painted cabinets, click HERE. If you want to know more about my painted chalkboard fridge, click HERE. And if you’re curious about my painted floors, you can click HERE. 
This is another area I’ve never really been able to share because of the light that floods in from the windows.
This is our back entry area off the garage. If you want to know more about the chalkboard calendar or shoe cubby, you can click HERE.
Next week I’ll share the second part of my home tour!
Go create something!

You have a beautiful home! It looks so serene. You would never guess you’ve got kids running around!
Thank, Bettsi! And yes, it was pretty chaotic (but the photographer managed to hide the chaos)!
