An Updated Virtual Home Tour

by Mandi on February 13, 2013

This post is a bit overdue. A few people have noticed the changes we’ve made to the main living area of our home on Instagram and in pictures here on the blog, and I keep promising an updated home tour!

After months of promising, I finally took some pictures today to share with you! For the rest of our home, be sure to check out the full first level tour, the girls room and guest room and my office. (Or see all of our home tour posts here.)

The biggest change in our home recently has been the “big” wall in our family room. When we first moved in, our couch was on the opposite wall, against the stairs, and our TV was on this big wall, but even with the wooden squares we had behind the entertainment center (see the original pictures here) that huge wall looked so plain and unfinished.

Virtual Home Tour: The Girls’ Room and Guest Room

by Mandi on June 30, 2011

Wow, this post has been a long-time coming. The original virtual home tour was posted last summer, and I’ve been promising a tour of the upstairs for a while.

To be honest, we just finished the upstairs this spring, three-and-a-half years after moving in, so that’s why it’s taken so long to put the final tour together. Sorry to leave you hanging!

Anyway, let’s head upstairs:

Our staircase is right in the middle of our main living area. At the top, you’ll find…

Welcome back for the next installment of my virtual home tour! Today we’ll finally head inside! But first, let’s spend a few minutes out on the porch. Even on an overcast day, it’s one of my favorite places to be! Because we’re in the mountains, we get a really nice breeze on all but the [...]

A Christmas Tour of My Home

December 13, 2010

I’m joining The Nester’s Christmas Tour of Homes today with some pictures from my home. Most of this is a repost from last year’s tour because we pretty much decorate the same way each year, and I’m not sure I can top the poem I wrote then! So come on in and take a look… [...]

A Virtual Home Tour: My Home Office & Homeschool Room

November 15, 2010

Over the past few months, I’ve been taking you on a virtual tour of our home. I’ve been a little slow in getting the upstairs done, partly because things have been so busy and partly because we’re still finishing a lot of things upstairs. Today, though, I want to show you around my home office. [...]

Decorating for Fall: A Tour of Our Home

September 7, 2010

I love fall. I love the chill in the air, apple picking, drinking hot cider and just hanging out on our front porch as a family. Truth be told, we use a lot of organic materials like bundles of sticks and wooden accessories as part of our regular decor, so we don’t make too many [...]

Being Content With Our Homes, Part 2

June 28, 2010

I’m still thinking about contentment a lot these days in regards to how I feel about my home. My husband continues to knock out projects both inside and out, and it’s always exciting when he finishes another project. What I’ve realized recently is that when discontentment does creep in, it is almost always in regards [...]
