One Year Update

Home Tour, Room Makeovers + Design Plans

Today marks the one year anniversary of being in our home! My husband and I both agree that the decision to move to this home was one of the best decisions of our marriage. We love the house, the neighborhood, and more importantly, all the friends we have made. I thought it would be fun to do some before and after photos, mostly to reassure myself I actually am making some progress. There are definitely days I feel like I am right where I started. But then I do this post and realize we actually have come a long ways! Some of the before shots were from the real estate listing with the prior homeowners belongings, whereas others were taken shortly after we moved in. The afters were as recent as I could find of each space from the same angle, so you may notice they are slightly outdated in some rooms. Others I haven’t done the full reveal for yet {seriously} so I tried to match a sneak peak shot with an original before. Enjoy the before and after tour! Entryway/Hallway:

Most of the changes to our house so far have involved paint, lighting and a few cosmetic changes. We have a long ways to go but are really enjoying the updates so far. In the upcoming years, we plan to make some bigger changes and we can’t wait to see how our house continues to evolve into our home! Thanks for following us along this journey the past year!
