Yay!!  It’s Field Trip Friday with Fresh Idea Studio.  You will love Therese and all of her talent and creativity to make her house a home.  Now for the delightful home tour from Therese!!

Hi! I’m Therese from Fresh Idea Studio. Welcome to the place I call home.Our New House

We built our house in the Summer of 2012. We moved in the week just before Halloween, so it’s been almost a year now and I have to say it was quite the whirlwind.
Our HousePicking up with the hubs, 3 kids, a dog, cat and fish…even if it was only 4 miles up the road, well…it wasn’t f-u-n, put it that way.

If you’ve ever moved with children and all their ‘stuff’ you know what I’m talking about here but that’s all said and done.

So, come on in and make yourself comfortable my new friends. Let me show you around. Front doorEntrywayThis is our foyer and front room … front room…situated to your left as you enter through the front door.

And, if you walk on back into …Flooringthe kitchen and…

the vintage chair {aka my $10 GoodWill find, yay!} and a little splash of Fall I just threw into the mix this week.

Anyway, from the kitchen you can get a glimpse of the family room where we love to spend time together with our three daughters.

And here’s the claw foot bench I redid that I like to keep behind our slipcovered sofa. {I have a thing for benches, slipcovers & bins btw.;)}

and my home office. my home office

Oh and my desk area is actually a Murphy bed in disguise. Stay tuned for the How-To on that DIY project very soon.

And, if we head upstairs…

we can take a gander at the rest of the house.

Like our oldest daughter’ bedroom at the top of the stairs to your left.

And her DIY PB teen Inspired vanity and the cool Jonathan Adler-ish stool I made for since we moved in. There’s also the bright and colorful Lilly-like bedroom our two younger daughters share which is across the hall from big sis.

Or should I say, AK2 & 3’s “hotel room”. {Hotel? really, girls? I promise you there’s no room service here my sweets. ha!} Oh, AK1,2 & 3 is how I like write about my 3 daughter’s on the blog. {Same initials, same monogram; that’s right, I’m a southern gal at heart. We like our two part names and monograms, don’t we now.} But I digress.

Down the same hall a bit, you’ll find an extra bedroom we are using as a playroom for the time being.play room diy headboard

There are a couple more bathrooms, a super messy craft space and the laundry room which I simply don’t have any photos of yet.

And, then there’s the master bedroom and bath down at the end in the back of the house. master bedroom

Master Bathroom tubActually, this feels kind of strange! Having dragged you through our home and into our bathroom and I haven’t even asked you if you’d like to sit down for a glass of iced tea or something. My! Where have my manners gone?!

Seriously, though. I’d love to have you come over and visit anytime! The doors always open.

We have a lot of fun here… and I’m not just talking decorating projects and crafts either. We like to cook up a thing or two and have even been know to throw a good party now and again.

So, let’s go grab a tall, sweet tea and relax a bit, shall we?

Here’s wishing you Happy Friday and a nice, long Labor Day weekend! Looking forward to getting together again real soon.

Thanks so much sweet Meegan for taking your Friday Field trip down to Florida to see me.

Cheers to you and yours,
