Our Home Tour

This is a tour of our Home from back in 2012. I have been cleaning up some old posts and was going to delete this post, since we no longer live in this house. But I decided to keep it. Maybe there’s still some inspiration here for you guys, but mostly it’s fun for me to look at this House that we lived in for nearly 10 years. Lots of memories here!

White Kitchen

Now I don’t actually have beautifully displayed produce on my Kitchen Island normally,  unless you count some bruised Bananas in a bowl… but my friends Amy and Lisa from Lucketts Store helped me to style this room for a photo shoot.

The bits of fresh green really added a nice element to the room. The number 4 is from an old road sign, and the champagne bucket is a family piece that I ended up with.

This old chippy painted Farm Table was another purchase from Lucketts that I’ve had for years, the chairs are from Target, but they go pretty nicely with the table. The reproduction Jewelers Light above the table was from Pottery Barn. I think I have Antique Ironstone pieces in nearly every room of my house, I can never pass it up when I find it at a good price!

Black and White Kitchen

Here’s a view of the whole kitchen.

Gray Living Room

Gray Living Room with White Sofa

This is my Living room where I painted the walls a gorgeous Charcoal Gray. The color is by Sherwin Williams, it’s called Gauntlet Gray. I used a tinted primer first and then it took about 2 coats of paint on top of that to cover the red paint that had been on the walls previously.

The Horse Print and the Ikea Ektorp loveseat were pulled from other rooms. The large Iron Mirrors and Iron Industrial Tables were pulled from my former shop space at Lucketts Store, as well as the coffee table and chairs. The Sisal Rug came from Ikea.

I’m always collecting Ironstone and have for years! I just love that it goes with everything! The White Curtains were hard to photograph, they were also come Ikea. They are really perfect for this space!
View from Living Room into Dining Room
This is the view from the Living room into the dining room. The staircase is in centered in between the two rooms. I like how the dark charcoal walls look near the chocolate brown walls from the dining room. The two rooms are separated by a light taupe paint on the foyer.

    catching up on my browsing and came across your house tour….being the nosey sort, I loved peeking in. I too love b/w kitchens. What is your countertop?

    Beautiful…and I adore the floor. We used to have them in a prior home and I really loved it! You have a beautifully classic with a twist kitchen (green with envy) and a wonderful sense of style!

    I absolutely adore the ruffled ‘counter chair’ covers! Did you make them, or buy? If so, where? So pretty!

      Hi Leslee,
      Thank you so much! My friend Amy used to sell them at Lucketts, but I haven’t seen them there in over a year, so I’m not sure that she does anymore. She always sold them with wooden chairs, because they were a bit pricey.

    Very pretty kitchen Karen — I’m in L.O.V.E with that grain sack pillow. If you tire of it please just let me know and I’ll send you my address! Ha!

    Lovely kitchen. I like the contrast of clean black and white surfaces with the dashes of color and texture. Neat basket. A wastebasket or storage?
