I've had people ask me, "so what is your style... (when it comes to your home) I always kind of pause and say, "well, I'm not so sure." I know what I don't like...
Modern
super-cabin wood-sey (Any decor out of the Cabelas magazine)
Really Floral/cottage
I think that at this point in my life, we don't have enough money to have what I really want so I just do the best with what we got as wedding gifts, inherited from parents/siblings, or bought over the years. Last week I decided that I wanted to refinish a shelf that my sister Angela gave me a few years ago. It was a cherry color and I wanted it black. So Aaron and I ran to Ace hardware and bought some black semi gloss spray paint and I put my handy-man/woman skills to work. I took it all apart, sprayed each side and put it all back together. Not a huge difference but I like the after much better. I also bought that gold frame when we were first married and thought it really needed some updating!

After (Isn't Anna a cutie pie)

After (I still need to find a new mat because that gold border is not going to work)
I was going a little crazy with the spray paint and had to stop before I started refinishing everything in sight.
Thought I would also include some of my dreams for our someday home :) .....
Hey a girl can dream right? I'd love to know what your "style" is and what are some of your dream ideas for your home :)

Love the pictures of your "someday home"--I would definitely go for those, especially the spacious kitchen!
Love your style! I know what mine is, we just can't afford it yet:)
That kitchen is amazing. One day.... and alot of money
Way to go, Jamie! I just love it when women show that it is possible to make something beautiful with what you have on hand, rather than run to the mall for instant gratification--the world needs more women like you! :)
amen! i love the pottery barn housing stuff. that would be my dream home too! it's the best to just refinish stuff, cheaper and fun!
Love it! You have inspired me to get creative! Love ya
I'd probably call your style Crate & Barrel modern. It's not cold geometric modern like the first picture, but it's still more modern than traditional. Warm and comfortable, but not a lot of frills. The poster bed is rad.
