About Me
- Kristal
- I married my husband, Chad, on October 20, 2007 and we bought our first house together in the spring of 2007. We are also expecting our first baby in January of 2010. I love to read, try new restaurants with Chad, and travel. I also spend a lot of time making our house a home - there's always a project in store for me and Chad! Every day is an adventure in my new married life, and this blog will tell you all about it.

Your house is so adorable. I love all of your decor! You have worked hard and it looks fantastic :)
You did a wondeful job!
it is adorable! i love that little squirrel. What is it with my obsession with little white animals?
Kristal, your house is gorgeous! If I were you, I'd never leave. :) Hey, that's not a bad idea... I'd save a lot of money if we never went out!
Your decor is so simple and beautiful. I love that stripe in your master bedroom. It adds such an interesting focal point to the room.
You have made everything look so awesome. I really love your style.
Great new color in the family room! Did you repaint all of the rooms? I can't remember the 'before' shots but it looks great now:)
I love your house! It's beautiful! I think I could live in your guest room!
Everything looks absolutely lovely! The new living room color is fabulous.
Seriously...why have I never thought about just putting a stack of cookbooks on the counter as decor? Chic AND practical is what I'm all about.
I'm loving many things in your house! So pretty! The first I'll ask about are the dandelion prints in the kitchen - where are those from?! They are just the type of thing I've been looking for!
Everything looks fabulous girl! So are you done with the entire house now? Our master is brown and blue too, I love that color combo.
I think I saw a dog under your coffee table.
Your house is great...I am so jealous of how cute it is!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. So put together and stylish!! I am in love with it!!!
Love, love, love the living room color!!! I wasn't sure I was going to simply because the previous color was gorgeous...but you were right to make the change. The room looks so much brighter and bigger
Seriously, your house is so pretty! Can I move in?
Amy - I've got the same obsession...did you see the turtle? And the bunny? And the frog, LOL?
Julia - I only repainted the living room.
Danielle - I actually got all the dandelion prints from Flickr. I looked through for photos I liked, then contacted the owner to make sure they didn't mind me printing them off. I downloaded them, had them printed at Walgreens, and framed them. ;) Easy and very inexpensive.
Angie - I'm never done, haha. First of all, we've got a three bedroom house, so there is one room that has never before been seen. ;) It's a mess, so that project is always looming over my head. Plus, there are a few things here and there that I still want to do...I've got a list!
I love this post. First of all, look at that cute little doggie. Not the sweet one hiding under the table, but, the one standing guard. Everyone needs to go to the archive and look at the first pics of Alvin. He was soooo skinny and starved for love. :-( Now he is handsome and happy looking.
I love the little sprouty things all over the house. It makes me think of spring and you know I love spring.:-)That will look so cute when they all bloom.
The whole house looks so darn good and knowing about your cheapness makes it all the better. Style on a dime, that's what I'm talkin' about!! ;-)
But last, the picture of you and Courtney in the guest room makes me so sad. :-(0
Other than that it is a very happy post.
LOL, Mom. Chad and I decided that first picture belongs in a magazine cause Alvin looks so handsome. :)
And those sprouty things are tulips - I can't wait for them to bloom! I've got them all over.
Cheap projects are my forte! And that picture makes me sad too. :(
Great job! :o)
Krystal, where did you get the rug in your living room? Love it and want it for my dining room!!!
Gia - I'm not 100% sure. That rug is a hand me down from my mama. But she said she thinks she got it from Lowes. ;)
i ADORE the new look in the living room!
Your house is so stylish. Is this a Pottery Barn catalog?! The guest bedroom looks fabulous.
Alright, K, you just made me want to redecorate our entire freaking home!! I ADORE your style. We have similar kitchens but I like yours way better. Love, love, love. I'm officially crushing on your home =)
If you weren't my friend, I'd hate you for your perfect house;) Everything is so planned and goes together so nicely. Maybe you should change careers to interior decorator?
It looks fantastic! All of your hard work and planning really shows. I only hope that mine looks as pulled together someday as what yours does.
I'm sad that I can't see your pictures anymore! It's probably our new updated firewall at work. I'll have to try out your blog at home too.
Love it, love it, love it!
Your house looks fantastic! If I ever move somewhere that has homes that are actually affordable, will you decorate it for me? Pretty please?
Can you tell me what the green color is in your spare bedroom? I love it and want to use it in my living room!
Jaclyn - you've picked the one wall color in the house that I can't name. :( It was just a leftover from my mom painting her house. I nabbed it and slapped it on that one wall. Sorry!
I just discovered your blog today, and I have to say you did a wonderful job with your home. I absolutely love your bedroom! And your bedroom furniture set is gorgeous. Was it vintage? Because if it wasn't I want to scoop up a set for myself!
I just discovered your blog today through the nest, I love your decorating! What color paint (and brand) did you use in the living room? I love it! Do you find it to ever be to dark for a living room?
Jenni - yes, the bedroom set is antique.
Anon - The living room paint is Valspar's Tornado Watch. And no, it's never too dark. Quite the opposite actually, it makes the room seem very airy and bright. Keep in mind though that we have great windows in our house, which really helps the entire house seem bright and sunny.
Looks great!!
your new pics are great! and i absolutely LOVE the floors, as i've said before ;) you'll have to add nursery pics when you get that room done!
You have such a cute home. It looks great paired with your more modern/ young style!
