Rustic Modern Home Tour

It’s hard to believe we moved into this home almost six years ago. I typically write this post every August, but I have some extra time now and I have finished a lot of spaces in the past six months, so it’s time for a fresh home tour.

I feel like it’s taken awhile for our house to really feel like us, and not just us but a true cohesive space. I spent a long time trying to make my style “work” in this house and finally took the plunge this year and started to really make some big changes and do larger remodel projects that reflect our style. So five years in, here is how we are looking!

Rustic Modern Home Tour

This year, our 25+ lavender plants that border the property were in full bloom for the first time and I lOVED it! This was my first time pruning back our lavender plants for fall and I couldn’t believe how much I had to play with. I put together this lavender tablescape with some of it, and gave the rest away to friends. I want to learn how to make more things with lavender to take full advantage of it. Send me some of your favorites! I STILL have yet to show you our front yard, but soon!

Front Porch Design

I switch up our front porch a few times a year, but here is our front porch all decorated with modern containers and layered rugs. This spring porch decor ended up being my most popular post of the year!

Chic Entry Way

As you enter you have our entry way, I have my favorite carpenter’s console table and oversized mirrors, I added sconces to this space this year along with new artwork and a mirror. You can see the full post here!

Rustic Office Design

Right off our entry way is my husband’s office. This was a project that took me over a year to complete but I’m so glad I kept working on it until my vision was met. It is a mixture of both masculine and rustic and a classic look. It’s been a few years and I still love every inch of it! This is probably one of the rooms I am most proud of because I really pushed myself and executed a design that I absolutely love. I love sitting in here at night in this cozy den space working away and looking around at all the touches. I have no intention of changing anything in here! But maybe I should update the pictures :)

Through the glass French doors you can see right out into the entry and all the kids running and screaming by all day :)

Black and White Kitchen Makeover

This fall we took the plunge and I (sorta) spontaneously decided to give our kitchen a big facelift and finally make this space our own! Boy does it feel good! I liked our kitchen before, but it never felt like me. At all.

What I love most about this kitchen makeover is that we really did change THAT much and it made all the difference in the world. I changed out the backsplash, painted the kitchen island and trim work white, added sconces, and open shelving, and lastly took out the microwave and put in a range hood.

The new tile added SO much to this kitchen. I decided to extend it up to the top of the shelves and really create a statement piece with it.

Outdoor Living Space

Moving out to our outdoor space. It’s one of my favorite spaces. It’s where we hang out in the summer evenings and cuddle up in the winter. This spring I added some fresh accessories out here to give it some texture and warmth.

We are determined to finally get started on our patio this spring/summer. We are working hard to get quotes and see if we can make it possible to do phase 1. The poured patio will be right off of this outdoor space so we can entertain more and enjoy our backyard better.

Now that we have the updated furniture out here, I don’t plan on changing it any time soon!

Current Living Room

Over a year ago I decided it was time to completely redo our family room. So I rearranged furniture, sold some pieces, moved a couch upstairs and our console table to the entry way… with every intention of ripping out the carpet, putting hardwoods in and starting over in here. Well it still hasn’t happened yet! SO here is our very in progress family room, waiting to be worked on! You can see what it used to look like all styled here.

Staircase Makeover

Another big project we recently completed was our staircase gallery wall. For years I’ve wondered what to do with this place in our home. One huge blank wall. Do we add a window? Do stone all the way up? Add a huge shelf? And then I had this idea of doing the trim work and oversized gallery wall. I LOVE how it turned out and changing out the light fixture also made a huge difference!

Now we just need new carpet! And I would love to change the railing to something more modern, but that’s not on a priority list.

Now, let’s head upstairs!

This year we finally revealed our master bedroom! It’s been a long process over the past five years, slowly chipping away at this space. A few years ago we installed hardwoods in here, hung the barn door and revealed our new bedding and brick wall. And now it’s done!

On the opposite side of the room we did custom built-ins with a metal fireplace. This really made our entire room! It made it feel even bigger and we love the extra storage and warmth it brings to the space. It’s our own little oasis and we spend a lot of time in here in the evenings watching TV. Way more than we ever thought!

Whimsical Little Girl’s Room

Our daughter’s room got a nice little makeover this year too! Her pink whimsical room was the very first room I revealed in this house and after five years she is now 9 and ready for more of a tween room! She requested a blue and white bedroom and it was so fun to design it together. She had lots of opinions!

We literally cleared EVERYTHING out of this room except for the sofa! We had that in our previous home and it happen to fit so perfectly in her window and it just works so well. We did all new furniture and accessories including a wallpaper accent wall.

She is growing up so quickly, it’s crazy that she is already in a tween room.

Kids’ Shared Bathroom

This bathroom renovation was another huge project this year! We pretty much gutted this bathroom and turned our basic builder grade bathroom into a space that truly fits our style! The hexagon tile makes a big statement an I’m so happy with how it turned out. You can see the full reveal here.

Rustic Boys Room

Through the bathroom you can enter my middle son’s room. This room has also gone through A LOT of phases over five years. I kept a lot of the same pieces from his nursery reveal, and turned it into a rustic modern big boy room and this year I added some new bedding, more blue and a geometric rug to give it a little more dimension! I did change the

I’ve been getting a little itch to redo this room completely and start over from scratch. I feel like when I do so many “small changes” over the years it starts to loose a cohesive look. And sometimes that just from my perspective. I think I’m ready to get rid of some of the vintage items piping in here and do something different. But this is very low on my list right now!

Modern Adventure Boy Room

This was my latest huge room reveal! This Modern Adventure Room complete with a tree house bed is one of my favorite rooms ever. We turned my son’s nursery into a big boy room and I absolutely love how it turned out. But this year we took it one step further with DIY Tree Silhouettes and custom DIY Ombre Wall.

We kept a lot of the same elements from the nursery long ago, but also managed to transform it into a complete different space with new furniture and some pops of deep color!

Black and White Geometric Bathroom

We gave a basic builder grade bathroom a completely new look with the help of the grid wall paper and more industrial touches. There is still so much more I’d like to do in here to update it even more, but this was a great start!

Moody Movie Room

Our bonus room has made great strides over this past year or so, but there is still so much left to do in here! Last year we gave it a huge makeover with a simple coat of dark moody paint! We still have yet to finish the rest of the room, I make small changes here and there but I’d really like to finish it off one of these days. It’s one of the last rooms left on my list!

One of the small projects I did in the movie/playroom this year was this little corner! I created these personalized signs for one of the blank walls and added a little corner for the kids to create in.

Industrial Laundry Room

Our small laundry room was one of my most recent makeovers! We had a very small basic laundry room and I wanted it to feel polished and something that went with the rest of the house. We added cabinets, a backsplash and new accessories and it completely changed this space!

Thanks for taking a tour with us! I’m looking forward to seeing what the year brings!
