Snapshots Of Our House

Home-decor-13Last Friday I mentioned oversleeping and I said I thought it was because of my new mattress. Well, my inbox got flooded with emails asking what type of mattress.

Who knew so many of you are shopping for a mattress. I think I have emailed most of you but in case I missed someone, we purchased a Tempurpedic Cloud Prima mattress.

Honestly, we didn’t research a lot but I wanted to try a Tempurpedic. We have to sleep on it for 30 days and if we don’t like it, we can take it back. Ummm, we love it and no one is going to take my mattress! Ha!

Another thing you all have asked it to see some of my recent decorating. Here is the deal. We did SOME redecorating but I’m not finished and it still looks a little bare.

But, as some of you know we have our house for sale. We have a contract on our house and we have a contract to buy another house. We’re not sure when we are moving. I think it will be a few months.

With that being said, I don’t want to do anything else to this house. I want to wait until we move. With some of our changes I would paint but why paint when I’m not going to be here. Make sense??

Okay, so take that into consideration when you see my pictures. I snapped a quick picture of my outfit before I headed out the door this morning. I wore this sweater here, it’s from LOFT, but it’s sold out.

Loft-sweaterI added a few new things to my coffee table. The tray was wood and I painted it white.

home-decor-6I added this chair and ottoman to my great room.

home-decor-1This is our kitchen, I recently added the tile backsplash.

kitchenI wish my fireplace had some more color but it’s hard when your TV is over your fireplace.

home-decor-2We purchased a different style of bedroom furniture (we had cherry furniture). I will paint the walls a different color in our new home.

home-decor-3This is our king bed with the Tempurpedic mattress. Again, I will add more pillows when we move.

home-decor-4So that is where we are right now. I need to wait to do anything else because of moving.

Do you want to see pictures when we move?? Our new home??

  1. I love pink. I’m wearing my fringed sweater today with brown uggs, cheetah scarf, light jeans from Loft. I love your blog and I did receive my polka dot denim shirt and can’t wait to wear it.

  2. Hi Cyndi, your home is beautiful! So peaceful, too. Yes, please do share more photos. Your bedroom set is lovely and I think the paint color works with it very well. Thank you for inviting us into your home, what a treat.

  3. Beautiful house! I love the furniture. Where did you get the chair/ottoman from? That is exactly what I’ve been looking for to complement a new couch.

  4. Cyndi,
    I just love you so much! I have been following your blog and I am hooked! You are so precious to share your life with us all. I feel like I have known you forever! You are such an inspiration and I know your Mom ‘IS’ so proud of you! Please share your new home with us. I can hardly wait! Also please tell me where your bedroom furniture came from and the prints above the bed. I love it! Thank you for what you do to inspire and encourage us all. God Bless You! I am praying for you!

  5. Would love to see pictures of your new house! You decorate wonderfully! If not too personal, why are you moving from this lovely home?

  6. ABSOLUTELY we want to see pics of your new house. I must have missed the post saying you were moving. I love the backyard of your current house where you snap so many of your pictures. I’m sure the new house will be even better.

    Question: Where did you get your bedroom set – or what is the brand name. Love it!

    Have a blessed day.

  7. Yes, we want to see pics of your new home! Your current home is absolutely gorgeous – I’ve always loved it & especially the setting! Can’t wait to see the new one!’

  8. Yes, I would love to see your new home! This one is lovely! Where do you stash the mail and clutter? LOL 😄 That is one of my struggles with school aged kids, the never ending influx of paperwork!
    Can you share why you are moving? You look darling. Love the outfit! XO

  9. Hi, Cyndi…Happy to hear you purchased a Tempurpedic mattress and enjoying it! We’ve had ours for 6 years and love it! We also got the Tempurpedic pillows, they were free with the mattress purchase, and my hubby and I love them as well. Enjoy!

  10. You are so sweet to share your life with us while in a cute outfit ;-). Yes, definitely keep us in the loop!

  11. Hi Cyndi, would you mind sharing with me where you found the three pieces of wall art above your bed? Looks like just the arrangement I could use on a wall in my home. Your home is beautiful!

  12. Hey Cyndi Girl, Love that sweater coat! I got one made similarly to that at Chico’s. It is a balck and tan houndstooth . Since the weather has been so mild this winter, I’ve worn that more often than I have my coat.
    Love your decorating! I would love to find a chair and ottoman like that, the blue is such a great shade that goes with so much. I should have guessed your home would be so beautifully decorated since you are so creative with your fashion sense. I must have missed when you made the announcement that you are moving. I wil be looking forward to seeing pics of your new place! Be blessed!

  13. Of course we want to see you new house! Thanks for sharing photos of your house. Love the blue chair and ottoman !

  14. I loved seeing glimpses o f your home. I enjoy seeing other people’s decorating. I would love to see pictures of your new home. Congratulations on your new home!

  15. Cyndi, thanks for sharing pics of your home. Vote yes! For pics of new house. I love your blog and all the outfits you put together. Gives me lots of good ideas! I love your beauty for the heart also. Praying your closing and move goes smoothly.

  16. When the weather chills and we are spending more time indoors I start changing things in my house. Mostly I just move furniture into different rooms. I also sew new pillows and curtains. During this last storm I removed the doors from a piece of furniture and filled the shelves with baskets. I’d love to see your new house. You’re “old” house is beautifully decorated. I’m not sure I quite understand the TV over the fireplace placement. I see it all the time. Is it comfortable for viewing? You should continue to blog about decorating!!!

  17. Looks so pretty, Cyndi! Love the blue accents. My next mattress will be a tempurpedic. I know there are a lot of different types to try. I’ve always heard that it makes getting out of the bed a lot harder!

    I love decorating as much as I do fashion. Looking forward to seeing your new home!!

  18. Cyndi, yes please to the pictures of new house! I love the bedroom furniture, will be interested in your choice of paint color. Wish the Loft still had that sweater, it’s gorgeous!

  19. Cyndi, what a lovely home! I’m doing some redecorating and the colors you have are the colors I’m using as well! Would you mind to please, please let me know where you bought the three pieces of wall art above your bed? They are what I’ve been trying to find! And of course we’d love to see your new home! Blessing to you!

  20. Yes, share all the pictures you want of the new home. Like the others, I’m interested in decorating as well as fashion! Anything to improve!

  21. Love your bedroom set! Looking for new furniture for our bedroom. Please share who it is made by and where you got it. Can’t wait to see your new home! Thanks for sharing your redecorating projects. I’m planning a few myself but want to do things we can take with us when we down size.

  22. Cyndi: Thank you for sharing picture snippets of your home…it’s very exciting to be moving to a new home! Are you also moving to a new town? I will pray that your move goes well, and I would love to see any pictures of your new home that you are willing to share. I just signed up to get email notices for your blog; I love your decor style and your new chair is lovely. Blessings, Susan;)

  23. Hello,
    I love seeing pictures of people’s home decor. I always get great ideas.
    We’ve been our house 9 years. I love it and am blessed to have it! Sometimes I think we should sell and buy a new house, just so I can do more/different decorating.
    Your home is very beautiful and would love to see your new home. I’m always checking 11 Magnolia Lane (blog). She has great decorating ideas!
    Today was an optional teacher workday because of snow. Not sure about tomorrow. One thing I do know I will check in to see what you have posted Cyndi.
    Have a great evening.

  24. Hi, Cyndi! I have that sweater coat and love it! Your house is pretty and I like the new additions and changes. We have a king sized Tempurpedic mattress and love it. It saved us from sleeping separately after many years of marriage. Yes! Please share pictures of the new home.

  25. Siily Cyndi 🙂 Of course we want to see your new home. Your pictures today were beautiful. You have great taste.

  26. Beautiful home! I’m anxious to see your new one!! Where did you get you pillows on the sofa? Love the color of them!
    Thanks for sharing!

  27. So sad the sweater is sold out, I love, love it. Your house looks beautiful and I vote yes, please show pictures of the move!! Have a fabulously wonderful blessing filled day! 🙂

  28. Your house looks wonderful. But, a move! How exciting! Yes… please show us pictures of your new home once you are settled. Good luck with the process!

  29. I’d love to see your new house! I must have missed when you said you were moving! Don’t know how that happened since I read all your posts! How come you are moving? Hope it’s for happy reasons! I like to see how you decorate compared to your sister.

  30. We recently purchased a king size bed & we love it ! Yes, we would love to see pictures of your new home inside & out!

  31. All lovely ! I’m searching for a nice comforter / bedding Yours looks exactly like what I’m hoping to find. anything you can tell me about it would be great!

  32. We LOVE our Tempurpedic! A word of wisdom: There is a tag attached to the mattress cover–leave it attached, or remove it & file with your sales receipt. It is absolutely necessary for a warranty replacement! They replaced ours (including the foundation) 6 years in due to a split in the mattress. As long as you have all the documentation and follow their instructions, replacement is a breeze. Enjoy!

  33. Cyndi, it’s just beautiful. I love the blue you used. That mattress is a keeper we got one about two years ago. I love my bed. Your taste in fashion righ goes right into your house Very clean and classic. I went to. pier one imports and got just these cute little light I wrapped them around a lantern on each side. It was just the touch. You can wrap them on anything and they run by batteries. Check them out. Ps sorry about writing I am in predi. Chair getting toes done.

  34. Oh yes, my DH had the family redo my room last spring and he bought us a new king size bed and tempurpedic mattress. Wish we had that when our children were little and co- sleeping. The best part is that he goes to bed much later than I do and I never feel him get in the bed!
    Lovely colors in your home,so tranquil! Good luck with this transition time of waiting to move.

  35. Hi Cyndi, I have not commented for quite some time, but read and thoroughly enjoy your posts everyday. Your home is absolutely lovely. Your decorating sense is just as classy as your fashion sense! Please do send pictures of your new home and décor, would love to see them!

    BTW…I too have a Tempurpedic mattress, it is WONDERFUL!!!!!

    Many blessings!

    Lina

  36. Thank you for sharing pictures of your beautiful home! I am searching for a new sofa and love yours! Do you mind sharing where you found it? Thank you! 🙂

  37. Love the new bedroom furniture! We have the same coffee table that you have and a TV over our fireplace also, a challenge to decorate for sure. Love your style and taste! That chair is beautiful! Please share your new home with us. Enjoy following you and your sister.

  38. Love your sweater, Cyndi. It looks so cozy.
    Yes, your home looks a tad bare. Staged for sale, I’m guessing. Looking forward to seeing pics of your new home, all decorated.

  39. Your new bedroom suit is beautiful. What brand of furniture is it?? Looking for something similar for our master. Look forward to seeing what paint color you choose in the new house.

  40. Your home is as lovely as you! Thanks for sharing with us. I’d love to get a Tempurpedic mattress. I have the pillow and love it. Can’t wait to see your new home.

  41. Loving your outfit today. Your home is beautiful. Wondering if you could share your paint colors–bedroom, great room and kitchen. Are they the same color? I am currently updating my master bedroom and my inspiration is the ocean. Finding the color in my mind and in the paint can has proven to be a challenge! I think your wall colors may work for me–lighting plays such tricks on my eyes–or maybe it is just age Ha Ha!

  42. Would LOVE to see when you decorate your new home! Your decorating taste seems as lovely as your fashion taste. I live in the same part of the country as you do (buried in snow right now) so Fashion, Education, and Decorating Blogs are my outlets. Hopefully, by the time you move,we will have nicer weather …

  43. LOVE THE BACKSPLASH .. THATS THE EXACT KIND THAT WE ARE REMODELING WITH .. LOVE GETTING YOUR EMAILS .. I GET GREAT INSPIRATION AND TIPS …
    HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

  44. Cyndi, so sweet for you to share your home with us! I would love to see pictures of your new home when you get settled there… It’s like visiting a friend! Your house is darling! BTW i have that same LOFT sweater so cosy and cute! Blessings Krista

  45. Hi! I love that you shared your home photos with us. I hope we get to see the new house. How exciting for you! Where did you purchase your new bedroom furniture? It is very close to what I am searching for. I love the look with the cozy and slightly rustic feel!

  46. Yes, I’d love to see pix of the move and new home! Thanks! Also … did you paint the dresser in your picture? I’m considering painting or re-staining ours. It’s such a nice, quality set, I hate to get rid of it. Would love to know what you did with yours!

  47. Want to see your new home? Silly question! Of course, I am as interested in decorating as I am in fashion. 😃

  48. Love the updates to the home!

    I have a question about spring/summer if you know yet. Will gladiator sandals/heels still be in? I saw a pair in a boutique this weekend that were really cute and more “dainty” & dressier than some. My feet are small and narrow so I’ve had a hard time wearing them. I didn’t buy them because I was concerned it may be a trend on the way out. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

    Thanks for any insight.
    Julie

  49. I really like the cardigan sweater you have on! Yes, I too, would love to see pictures of your new home. Will you be downsizing? Our primary home is over 3,200 sq. ft. and our country home we will move into is a little over 1.0,200 sq. ft. So, when we make the move, we will definitely be having an estate sale. The country home is full of furniture now, but some of it came with the house. It’s going to be challenging and fun swapping out some furniture. That impending move is what has helped encourage me to start reducing the amount of clothes I have.

    Have a blessed day!

  50. Have the same mattress and absolutely love it! Would love if you shared pictures of your new house. I hope the selling part of it goes smoothly for you and quickly!

    1. Hi Brenda…Cyndi’s sweater is from Loft. Someone commented that she, too, had the same and said it’s Loft.

  51. We are moving to Nashville next week.I know your were there recently. We are in building process. We just sold our dark colored bedroom furniture and we are looking for something along the lines of your color but haven’t found it yet. Can you share the name of your bedroom furniture.? We are moving in at the end of April so I have time if I need to order Thank you so much for your blog.

    1. Hi Dana. ….Cyndi’s sweater is from Loft. Someone commented that she, too, had the same and said it’s Loft.

  52. Hi,
    Your house is so pretty. My taste is similar, can I ask where you got the arm chair and ottoman? I saw something similar a few weekends ago, l love that print.

    Thanks!

  53. Pretty sweater! Where is it from? I love the light in your house. We have a 1920 character house and sometimes it feels so dark.

  54. Yes, would love to see pictures of your new house! I enjoy getting inspiration from others on home decorating. I especially enjoy watching Chip and Joanna Gaines on Fixer Upper (my whole family loves the show, including my 9-year-old twins!). Thanks for being willing to share your home decorating.

  55. Would love to see pics of your new home but in the meantime….Can you please tell me where you found your bedding? I’m looking for white bedding but just haven’t loved anything I have found so far.

  56. I’d love to see pictures of the new home. For those of us who also follow your sister, Traci, it will be fun to see some decorating on your blog since she’s added Fashion Friday! The bedroom suit is beautiful. It will be nice to see it with whatever wall color you choose in the new house.
