So, here is my home! It's a mini-home tour for now. I need to rephotograph some other rooms and some rooms aren't complete. But I hope you enjoy this little peek into our Home! I think I'll put a link in my sidebar to this post and I'll just keep updating it as I take new photos and as home projects are finished. I honestly don't think there's anything I love more (or find more fulfilling) than decorating our home. It's truly like a big blank canvas. Thank-you for letting me share something so special to me (and my family). This was our very first home right after Ethan and I got married, and we are still here 12 years and two sons later. It's humble, it's not perfect, it's old and has been a fixer-upper... but it's perfect to us and means so much to our little family. Thanks for taking a look!
I will try and add source links for mostly everything I purchased for the rooms (I'll try to remember everything that is!) In case anything strikes your fancy and you want to know where it's from. : )

Boys' Shared Bedroom
Edited to add: (2/2011) Here are some new photos with some new finds I added to these vignettes.
