Shabby Chic

One thing I love about my dear friend Priscilla's house is her Shabby Chic Style.  She's done an amazing job decorating and I love her use of window frames as decor.


She has chalk board in the Kitchen for notes and messages on one side and a picture of her black lab, Henry on the other.



Here she used this window frame for a series of pictures of her adorable daughter, AJH.



On this wall she hangs different pictures for the occasion.


And this post by Vitamin Sea was actually inspired by a jewelry frame Priscilla has in her house.  She just didn't know I got the idea from Cil.

Pricila's Shabby Chic Style is inspirational and makes for fun do it yourself projects!

One Year Later

Last July we bought a home in Richmond that was a disaster case and that's putting it mildly.  One year after the renovations were completed we are settled in our home.  It was definitely worth all the hard work.



 When we first walked in the ceilings and floors were missing-literally.



And all the doors could not close because they were destroyed.


The rooms were a mess and needed to be fully renovated.


After months of renovating-Thank Goodness for my father in-law! Here's the final product.

Blue and Yellow Family Room!  My fav colors!
Pink and Green Dinning Room.  Another fav color combo. When people ask me how I convinced Mac to let me have a pink and green room- I say "Wait til you see the basement."
Our bedroom is finally cozy and decorated.
And I think my fav color scheme is that of the bathroom.  Even the ceiling is wall papered.

The Basement went from unlivable-


To Mac's dream Man Cave.  I will admit this is not what I was envisioning and cried for several hours after the first time I saw the finished product, but it has grown on me over time.  This is the one room Mac has full rein to decorate and he made sure it had a Key West atmosphere in honor of The Wilson's.


The Wilson pub with a full wrap around bar is a unique feature that no other house in our neighborhood has and unfortunately sometimes does not close until 4am.  I was thinking of a kids play room and this is what Mac designed. What can ya do?????


We've come a long way in a year and are finally settled in :)
