Three Years on Tiffany - Living Room.

Back again this week with another installment of Three Years on Tiffany! Today I'll be showing you around the living room. It's obviously the room where we spend the most time, so I am constantly tweaking things in there to try get it just the way I like it. Yet, I still have more I want to do!

Here it is the day Cameron closed on the house.

A lovely shade of salmon.

The hardwood floors were in great condition, and we loved the brick fireplace!

Painted the walls a neutral tan.

Hung a sheet over the window until we bought curtain rods and curtains. Keepin' it classy!

Pay attention to this framed map. You will see it again.

Making some progress..

Couldn't decide on a large rug for the longest time, so the floors went bare for a while.

Hi Brady.

And pictures of how it looks today!

The map was re-framed and matted for our wedding guest book!

What I'd still like to do:

-Paint walls again, this time a lighter color.

-Buy a larger console table to go on wall under map.

-Couch pillows! I am so bad about pulling the trigger and buying some!

-Convince Cameron to put the owl in his office.

Small update thanks to a wonderful suggestion of a reader - 

Three Years on Tiffany - The Dining Room.

The next room in our Three Years on Tiffany series is the dining room, which is attached to the kitchen, and the room that you walk through to get to the office and back porch.

 

I apologize for the quality lacking photos.

 

October 2010.

This is the view looking in from the kitchen on the day that Cameron was given the keys. This house was a short sale and it had been sitting for quite a while.

November 2010

The walls were painted grey and a light was installed. It's no light from West Elm or Restoration Hardware, but it gets the job done for now.

 

April 2011

Was given a kitchen table and chairs by my grandmother, and gave them a nice paint job.

 

August 2011

 Bought the Ikea Expedit and turned it into a bar. Made a gallery wall.

May 2013

Finally decided on a rug for the room after many returns. Was given a china cabinet and gave it a makeover! See before, during and after pictures here. Still can't believe my grandmother and Cameron's grandmother owned the same exact china that they passed down to us!
The picture below is from Mother's Day this year.

And today! Ok, yesterday. 

 

Three Years on Tiffany - The Office.

 This month marks the 3rd year that Cameron and I have been in our house! It's crazy to think that's we've been living here that long, and even crazier to go back and look at pictures from when Cameron bought the house! Talk about a night and day difference.

So I thought it would be fun and show pictures of each room as they progressed, and how they look today!

This is how we found it.

 Painted stripes in the laundry room in July of 2011, and new tile was installed by Cameron and Eric in December of 2011.

 

Desk purchased off of Craigslist in January of 2012.
I had the pleasure of hauling that thing inside with Cameron, which resulted in many chiropractor visits.

 

Diplomas finally framed and hung in February of 2012.

Added the bookshelf in March of 2012.

Finally looking like an office!

 

Added the curtains and the rug in July of 2012.

 Moved the leather chair into the office in December of 2012 to make room for the Christmas tree, and decided we liked it better in there!

 

So here it is today!
