Home Tour

Here is a little back story about our house (because everyone loves those things right!?)  We bought our house in September 2009,  it was a short sale and to say it was well, tetanus shot inducing would be pretty dang accurate. Here are a few of the images from the MLS listing.

So if you are on the hunt for a home that is a little bit less than your ideal pinterest mansion, dont worry! You can change things to the point that they are almost unrecognizable and 100% you!!

So now is the fun part. What it looks like now, or at least for this second. What can I say, I love to improve and change things up constantly. In fact pulling this house tour together has given me THE itch.

Lets start outdoors, shall we? Our house is like 80% of the houses in Southern Utah, builder basic, tan stucco,  one level. Mark my words, one day I am building a house that will turn St. George on its beige head. Last summer Court and I built the Chevron Shutters and they are holding up FANTASTICALLY. I love that they add so much to the house (you wouldn’t thing it would change it that much, but it totally does. So add shutters to your project list.)

I just showed off my newly summer-fied back patio last week, and I still love it, even though most of the plants are now DEAD. (that is what happens when you decide to stay in Salt Lake for an extra week…its a good thing the plants were the only casualty.)

My entryway was one of the first projects that I finished that I felt like was finally my style,  no piggybacking things I had seen on other blogs, only me 100%.

I am so in love with my Living Room I hear angels every time I walk into it. This is actually the second makeover that this room has had in the short history of Vintage Revivals. You can see the first one here.

How To Build A Pipe Table

The mid century chairs are a craigslist score that I have plans to reupholster,  the rug is from Rugs USA and the pipe table tutorial is here.

And this is what my Master bedroom used to look like…it is currently naked because I sold everything in it at the Hoard Sale.
