One of my personal weaknesses is my inability to make decisions. I've blogged about this before, but it's true. Anything that really doesn't matter, I can't for the life of me decide upon. So it's kind of a big deal that I have decided the style for our new house! We got a cute little three bedroom, two bath, ranch style house here in town. We are just renting, which makes it a little less fun ... but nonetheless, I'll take you on a tour!

Here is the
living room: The entry is to the right (not pictured) & the fireplace will require a little more effort than just the flip-of-a-switch ... but hey, this girl can build a 'real' fire! & it will save us money on heating.
The
kitchen: It has a TON of cupboard space & a pantry on the other side. All updated appliances ... I'm sort of stoked about the dishwasher that has drawers...
The
kitchen again: Side-by-side fridge! & the freezer on the bottom. I really should have turned the lights on when I took these pictures. My bad.
Dining room: Okay, the mirror is kind of huge & ugly ... but it could be worse!
The master: Pretty boring, but has potential!
And HERE ... is the problem: The (tiny)
master bathroom ... with
no storage. None. There is a reason you do
not put a pedestal sink in a master bath. That reason being there is not a place in the world to hide ... well, anything. While I do love the look of them & they are suitable for say, a guest bathroom, they are completely impractical for actual 'living' spaces. This is my biggest bathroom challenge yet ... & here it is:
I didn't include pictures of the guest bathroom, the other two rooms, or the patio/outside area. I'm sure more of that will come later. These are just some general 'before' pictures. As for the design style ... we're going for a nice combination of a lot of country, a little french, & a little classic. I promise it will make more sense as it all comes together. And true to form, I'm doing it on a dime. My Dave Ramsey money-saving-madness is in full effect ...
