Florida Living and Coastal Decor
All in Before & After
After 5 months of a complete interior renovation, we began to tackle the exterior of our home, along with the backyard. Since so many projects were overlapping, it really was a LOT on my plate for several months last year! After our new bulkhead and dock had been built, we started on the pool and back porch addition, along with an outdoor bathroom, at the same time. You’ll see why that was necessary in a moment.
I finally revamped our guest bedroom just in time for Christmas! I was pretty indecisive about this space for a while and I think the fact that I started decorating it in the fall influenced some of my decisions. You’ll see what I mean when you check out the color scheme. ;)
To start, I’ll show you what this room looked like from before we renovated it and after we moved in.
I have a little dining room update, finally! I waited for a few months to purchase the right mirror for our dining room. I knew I wanted a large round mirror to hang over the console table in the dining room, but I couldn’t decide what style. Finally, I decided that a black thin frame would match the frame on our Samsung Frame TV in the living room. I also chose matte black door handles and curtain rods throughout our home, so a matte black frame just made sense because it would balance everything out.
It’s been said that patience is a virtue and I’m here to say that I’ve found that to be true, especially in the home decor realm. If I’m going to spend time and money on a change in my home, I need to know that it’s going to be worth it. I don’t make decisions until I’ve thoroughly done my research and sometimes that means the process can take a long time, but it’s always worth not having regrets later!
