This is my confession

It’s time I let you in on a secret. I have never watched “Fixer Upper” with Chip and Joanna Gaines. It should be a show I would love, but I just don’t want to watch it. To be honest, it stresses me out.

We have a beautiful farm house that is a designer’s dream. My Pinterest board is brimming with ideas. But I am frozen like a deer in a headlight, and I have never been this way.

In the past, Michael and I would go to Lowes, pick up a few cans of paints we both agreed would be ok for our house and that would be it. But I am overwhelmed on what to do with the new house. 

Enjoy some photos of the house. Please tell me your ideas. And if you would happen to run into the Gaines - send them my way, and I will pretend to be their biggest fan while they redo my house for me. 

I would like to redo the entire kitchen. The walls are textured so they need to be smoothed. 

Gorgeous windows let the light in .

Kitchen leads into the dining room. 

My favorite piece of furniture. The previous owner left it there. This will go in the dining room. 

Laundry room.

Laundry room. Cute picture of my mom sitting on my dad's lap. Look I am wearing a romper. I basically look 5. 

This dining room had layers of wallpaper on it. I will tell you about it on my next post. 

This is the one room we've been working on. 

This will be the fancy living room. Look at the fireplace!

The house is full of original pieces like this door and check out the doorknob. 

I want to get a huge canvas and place it here. 

The girls love the doorbell. 

Seriously, I'm not buying Christmas presents. I'll tell them to go play with the doorbell. 

The family room, don't pay attention to the man on the chair. 

Man cave/workout room

View from the second floor. This looks like a painting. 

This is a landing between the bedrooms. We are going to make it a library. 

Abby's room.

Whoever painted the murals is very talented. But it's not really my taste  so they will go. 

Another mural in Madi's room.Why doesn't the giraffe have pants?

A big shout out to Heidi Perry for taking these photos.
