Our House Tour 2020-2021

February 16, 2021



Welcome to our house! We live in a large residential development in Olympia, WA.  Our house was built in 2007 and was constructed in the Craftsman style.  The interior was very builder grade to begin with so we have added many custom touches to it over the years to make it more our style.  Admittedly, there are still a couple of "boob" lights (if you don't know what that is, google it) in one of our rooms, as well as, a few very unsavory builder grade mirrors and lights in our bathrooms.  These rooms are therefore still in "transition" and will be featured at a later date when they have something better to say for themselves. 😆 

This is our front entry.  We installed laminate floors throughout the majority of the downstairs except for the laundry room and half bath.  We also installed laminate in the upstairs hallway and office.

The wall is painted with a stencil I found on Etsy and needless to say, it adds a ton of drama when you first enter the house.

This is our living room area.  The kitchen, dining room, and living room form a "great room" concept.

It needs work so stay tuned for future posts on what we do in here.

This is one of the best parts of our house.

Thanks for enjoying this little tour.  These rooms are always changing, though, so stop by often to see what other tricks we have up our sleeve for continuing to make this house our own.
