My [Town] Home: the current tour!

Last week, I gave you a little tour of my new townhome in its "before" state.  It was for sale in addition to being for rent (I am renting), so I was able to grab the listing pictures from the internet.  I have lived here for three months and it is really starting to shape up and feel like home.  Here are the pictures of how the place looks now.  [Note: I am working on adding the before and current pictures to my tab at the top of the blog].

Living Room/Dining Room

The main living area is a huge open space, which I love.  The layout of the room was a challenge though: it's long and narrow, and the television could really only go on the one wall.  I had to play around with furniture placement to have it make sense, and I think it works.  I need to add pictures and get a coffee table or ottoman(s) that work in the space and I'm going to add a shelf over the fireplace as well.  But for now, I am happy with how the room looks and feels. 

Entryway

The entryway is a small little nook near the front door.  I desperately need to paint that table and I'd like to add a matching larger rug and runner in the space.

Upstairs Deck

I've brought in some furniture and pots up here, as well as an outdoor carpet that I got for a steal at Target.  I am hoping to add a grill soon, too.  

Kitchen

I am doing my best with what I've got in the kitchen.  I added a few rugs and my own things.  I brought in a table and chairs from IKEA for the breakfast area (I am going to paint the chairs white and upholster the seats).  I also added some curtains to the windows.  I hated to block the light, but I needed privacy for sure, since the front kitchen window overlooks the parking lot.  These curtains are translucent, so they block the view but not the light. 

Half Bath

I am so happy with how this space turned out.  Recall that when I moved in, the room was painted purple.  I painted it Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray, which I think is the absolute perfect grey tone.  Because this room has no natural light, I had them cut the color by 50% and I am thrilled with how it looks on the wall.  I added yellow and white accents and some mercury glass.   I removed the old plumbing-supply looking towel bar and relocated the replacement towel ring to the small wall near the sink. I think it makes more sense here.  

Master Bedroom

I am really happy with my bedroom.  I bought a new set: nightstands, bed and dresser, all in a creamy white.  I love how soft and feminine the room is.  I have curtains for the windows - just need to put them up! 

Master Bathroom

I basically just moved my stuff into this space.  I am showing you all the angles so you can appreciate how bad this wallpaper truly is. 

Big's Room

Big picked out his bedding - he loves the red.  I was able to reuse the rug and lampshade from his room in my first home.  I made the upholstered headboard recently and have fabric (baseballs) ready to go for a valence over his window.  I have more art to hang in here.  

Little's Room

Little also chose her own bedding.  I love it, but it felt a little too old fashioned for me.  I decided to add some brighter pink and more modern fabrics to make the space a little less fussy.  I am really happy with how her room looks.  I need to do more in here (and the artwork will all move around), but we are off to a good start. I made the headboard the same day that I made Big's.

Den/Playroom

I have a lot more to do down here, and some of the toys are still in boxes, but I am getting there.  I used the little nook under the stairs for my craft supplies.  I love how perfectly they fit there!

Downstairs Patio

My parents helped me with this space.  They came over one day while I was at work and weeded and trimmed and pruned for me. So nice!  I added my adirondack chairs and that's about it.  The space is so great.  I hope to put it to more use soon.  

And there you have it!  The full tour of my home as it looks now.  I will keep posting updates as I do them - I have lots and lots of good stuff planned.

See you swoon,
