Let's look at some pictures.....

My original intention was to make a video tour of my (not so new anymore) house. Since I've never gotten around to it, I've decided to post pictures whenever I do something new here at my little place.

Or when we (me or Dev) get a shot of something that I particularly like.

Exciting, huh?!?!?

We were at West Elm a few week ago when Devon spotted this

chair marked down 50%.

We both loved it, but it goes perfectly in my upstairs living room.

I was originally going to use it as my desk chair, but the back isn't striped.

I wanted to be able to see the stripes all the time, 'cuz let's face it:

this chair is all about the stripes!

I like it in this spot between the cubbies and the windows.

It makes me happy. :)

Devon took this shot of some Halloween decor in my upstairs living room.

I love how it turned out!

Have I ever showed y'all pictures of my kitchen/dining/living area?

This is the first floor of my little house.

Well, part of it.

I didn't take pictures of the area where the table is because I still

want to hang curtains on the windows.

So this is the entire "kitchen": mini-sink, stove and small-ish fridge.

I took these pictures this evening so the light isn't too great.

My downstairs area is funky and fun.

The colors are TOTALLY different from upstairs which is much more

serene with muted colors.

The landlords re-modeled this room right before I moved in.

They painted the cabinets the color of some decorative shutters I had

and selected the counter tops to match.

They also installed the cabinet you see to the left.

It was originally one piece that they made into two

so that the shelf part of the cabinet hangs on the wall.

I love that it has glass door. It looks sort of custom.

This is a view of my cozy living area.

The TV in this room is strictly for watching DVDs.

The chair next to the TV is another one of my favorite things.

I found it at a consignment shop for $60 bucks!

It had just been reupholstered.

MAJOR score!

I'm going to close this post by thanking Dev and Zach for coming by this afternoon

and helping me re-arrange my downstairs room.

I couldn't have moved all that furniture without them.

Not to mention Devon's GREAT decorating sense! :)

Thanks, guys!

p.s. there will be more pictures of the rest of the room eventually. I'm sure y'all can't wait!!!
