I’ve been wanting to write a new home tour post for awhile now. I haven’t showed you all the rooms in our house in Savannah, but at this point I think I’ve posted enough of them that a home tour makes sense. As I continue to post, I’ll just add to what I’ve written here so you can see our house in one place.
Of course, while you’re here you might want to take a look at the home tour of our Nashville house {here} and our North Carolina house {here}.
We’re living in military housing for the first time in our eighteen years of marriage (and Army life). It’s a lot like living in any rental house in that any changes we make have to be un-changed before we move. You can read my tips on decorating a rental {here} if you’re in the same boat!
Without further ado, here’s our Georgia house. I’ll link the relevant post below each picture in case you want to see more photos.
I always decorate our porch for the holidays, although my polka dot cushions are a staple throughout the year:
See more of the front porch {here}.
On the back porch, I created a “faux” screened porch to keep some of our insanely large Savannah bugs away.
Read about that process {here}, or see the back porch decorated for Fall {here}. Harley is always photo-bombing my shots, but I left him in this one because he color coordinates so nicely!
When you walk in our front door, you’re in the dining room with a small foyer/entry area. I wrote about creating an organized front entryway {here}.
If you look in the mirror, you can see the original (and quite hideous) fluorescent light fixture that hung in the dining room:
I changed that chandelier out within the first month with one of my own, and it makes a HUGE difference:
Of course, the front hall had to get a new look when a friend gave me a beautiful vintage gold mirror for my birthday. This is how it looks now {and more photos are here}:
The post I wrote on our grey and white dining room is {here}.
Pillow & frame: HomeGoods | Chair: Vintage | Curtains: Target
The door that you see in our dining room with the grapevine wreath on it goes to our laundry room. I try to keep that door shut most of the time because you can see straight into our laundry room from the front door (!), but since I sometimes forget, I did take the time to decorate our laundry room {here}. My theory on laundry rooms is that I spend quite a bit of time in there, so at least they should be pretty! I didn’t bother to take the fluorescent light fixture down in here and replace it with a chandelier–YET!
I just recently finished our living rom {read about it here} and am really pleased with how it turned out.
The built-ins are really inexpensive IKEA pieces that we trimmed to look like custom furniture. {The tutorial on that is here} I refuse to buy any more expensive pieces until we’re done moving!
I haven’t really written a post on our kitchen yet, mostly because the low-quality, dark cabinets make me sad and I’m not allowed to paint them, but I did write about the burlap window valances I made {here} and our organized computer armoire {here}, and you can see pictures of the kitchen in both of those posts.
Our master bedroom is downstairs, and I posted on that a few weeks ago when I painted our bed white {here}:
And you can see our master bathroom {here} and {here}.
Our downstairs powder room is decorated in gray and white (as is most of the rest of the house!) and I wrote a post about it {here} that includes lots of tips on decorating a bathroom in a rental.
My son’s room was finally updated from a little boy space to a teenager hangout. Read that post {here}.
My daughter’s room was posted last week {here}.
And I showed you her bathroom last summer {here}:
Phew! That’s all of it (so far). I guess it must be time to move again since I’ve almost finished decorating!
PS If you like holiday home tours, then {here} is our house decorated for Christmas {and the 2014 tours are here and here}.
