Welcome To Our Home!

Welcome to Our Home! I wish I could have you over and we could sit around and talk all day. Wouldn’t that be fun?!

Since I can’t do that, I thought I would welcome you in my home with some pictures. Our new home still looks pretty sterile right now because I have only hung one picture.

The painters just finished painting yesterday and I’m enjoying all my walls without nail holes at the moment.

I’m super pleased with how my hard wood floors and my stairs turned out!

House picturesJust as a reminder here is a before picture and this is how they look now.

before and afterMy walls are painted with Alabaster paint from Sherwin Williams. My stair rails are Iron Ore from Sherwin Williams.

House pictures

I’m not sure what I’m going to do in this area but I will keep the lamp. I recently purchased it from Pier 1 Imports.

House pictures-1Again, it’s pretty sterile in here because I can’t put any rugs down yet. I have to wait a few weeks since I just had my floors done. Our floors are a sugar maple wood (which is harder than oak) and I used Early American wood stain.

House pictures-6This is the before picture of my great room.

I will probably change that light but there are several other lights in the house that have to be changed first. I bought this table and had it painted white (I feel like white is the theme around here. Ha!)

IMG_7766Here is what it looks like now. I have ordered my chairs for the table and they have not come in yet.

House pictures-2This is the chair I ordered for the ends of the table.

30AIDENSL3This is the chairs for the sides of the table. (Both of these chairs I purchased from Arhaus.)

30CADAECHRI had a hard time getting pictures of my kitchen. This is the best I could do and I’m not finished decorating in here. I have several shelves that I need to add to.

House pictures-11 House pictures-12 House pictures-13 House pictures-3Now, for the outside, this might be my favorite view. Memorial Day we had all my family over for a cookout and swim party and boy did we have fun!! Again, we will need to landscape and add flowers but all in time.

House pictures-4We have a deck that extends over the entire back side of our home. The deck has not been sealed so guess what my husband is doing today?? 🙂 I purchased all my outdoor furniture from Pier 1 Imports. They keep these pieces in stock year after year so I can add to them.

House pictures-5Lastly, we have three large rooms upstairs. One is a media room, one is going to be used for my business and the other one is this playroom for Colt. (He doesn’t sleep up here but I put a bed in it in case we need it.) Colt loves his playroom!

playroomThat’s where we are so far! I’ll share updates as we go a long. Right now we are enjoying being here and hoping to fill our home with wonderful memories with our family and friends.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2

  21. Cyndi, I just love your blog and you. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. It’s absolutely beautiful. The space by the front door would make a beautiful spot for a Christmas tree. Remember it will be here before we know it. The kitchen is awesome. I hope you and your family enjoy many happy and healthy years there making memories that will last a lifetime.

  22. Cyndi, now you’re speaking my language 🙂 I have been a wallcovering installer in Boise, ID for 27 years. I absolutely love what I do, even after all these years. Interior design is to me what fashion is to you. I wish I could come install a wonderful wallcovering for you, maybe in your Powder Room 🙂 A bit of a drive though from Idaho to Kentucky, seriously though you’re doing a great job. Love your blog.

  29. Cyndi, thank you so much for sharing your blog. I take care of both my parents who have dementia. I always manage to get smiles from mom when I show her your photos. 🙂 We then able to have moments of sharing Gods word..because I’ve caught their attention at this point. (Dad can still remember some verses)

    I’ll always remember how your blog gave me a few treasured moments to converse with mom and dad. Thank you so much.

  30. Its a beautiful home. You have a great start! Your back yard is so big and green. It’s just lovely too. Lots of great spaces to share with family and friends. Enjoy.

  31. I love your home!! You are doing a beautiful job with the design and decorating!! What a gorgeous location too……you will have so much fun with landscaping!!

  32. Cindi, it is all so peaceful and gorgeous! We’d love to find some property like that but right now have to stay “in town” as my almost 96 year old mom is in a nursing home here and I visit with her quite a lot. I love those chairs you’ve ordered for your kitchen….in fact the x-back ones are some I’ve considered to replace the old ladderback chairs I have now, I already have 4 white slipcovered slipper chairs borrowed from my DIL and thought to use 2 with 2 x-back ones.

    I love your floors! You’ve done a great job so far and can’t wait to see how your home evolves.

    P.S. Colt’s room is darling. We have to have those spaces for grandbabies, don’t we? Have a wonderful weekend!

  33. Such a beautiful home…. God is so good! This looks like a perfect home to entertain and have fun. I bet your grandson wants a horse now. Blessings to you…..

  34. Wow- you are such a breath of fresh air! Thank you for not only encouraging me to care and give thought to how I look on the outside, but also for being a great example of balance. It is clear that you care about your soul. So thank you for this. Your blog is a delight!

  35. Just lovely cyndi !! A lot of hard work but all worth it in the end .. Thanks for sharing your home and decor with us . You are beautiful inside and out .

  36. Thank you for sharing Cyndi, you have a beautiful home. Your beauty for the heart really struck ‘home’.

  37. Love the floors and your kitchen table/chairs. JoAnna Gaines would be proud! 🙂 Thank you for sharing pictures of your home and for the Scripture and quote. I read your blog everyday and appreciate your ideas. God bless!

  38. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! I love all of the changes you have made! Have a great weekend!😊

    P.S.- the throw pillows on your couch are lovely! Could you let me know where you purchased them? I HAVE to get them! Haha!!

  40. Congratulations, Cyndi! You have a beautiful home. I love all the natural light and the views out your windows!

  41. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. It’s amazing what paint and floor stain can do for a room. It’s just gorgeous. That backyard is so serene and the pool is awesome. Congratulations!

  42. Love your home. In addition, your beauty for the heart is so right on. I spent so many years not entertaining guests in our home because I didn’t think it was good enough or that we didn’t have the right things or everyone else’s house was nicer. I’m so thankful that God has changed my heart. I’m now thankful for what we have. Our house may not be the best or biggest, but it’s clean and hospitality and warmth comes from the heart not from what we have. I’m not saying I don’t like pretty things. Oh I do and I try to make our home lovely. We had guests last week, that just moved back to the States from Romania in January, and they said they felt the most at peace at our home than they have felt since their return. Thank you Lord for helping me get over myself.

  43. Beautiful new home and spectacular views! It was like watching house hunters- thank you for inviting us into your new home.

  44. Just beautiful Cyndi.
    Love the floors. What color stain did you use?
    Showed pics to hubby. He says we can try to do our floors.
    Enjoy your home home. You are truly blessed.

  45. Cyndi, thank you for sharing your home with us! I know that you’re enjoying decorating it. The whole place is beautiful! In KY, is there an issue with snakes getting in pools, like here in GA?

    I love the quote in Beauty For the Heart!

  46. Love, love your new home, especially the pool! I am interested in the maintenance on it. We moved s year ago and I have always wanted a pool but my husband thinks it is too much work.

  47. Your new home is simply gorgeous!! Congrats on it and all you’re getting to do Inside and out!

    Blessings to you and your family!!

  48. Looks beautiful. With your gift for decorating, I know it will keep evolving to become all you have on mind.
    Blessings in your new home.

  49. Your house looks beautiful already! It looks like you live on a big property and it is gorgeous! I really like how your table turned out after it was painted! I can’t wait to see more as you had to your house! I also love the lamp from Pier One! I recently bought lamps from there too for my master bedroom update and I’m very happy with them.

    Thank you for sharing and I would be great to sit around and talk all day!

  50. Everything looks lovely Cyndi! Your staircase and wood floors are beautiful!! I guess Wayne needs a tractor to mow all that grass now! HA! 😉 The pool will definitely be so much fun for Colt and all your nephews. Wishing you God’s blessings in your new home 😉

  51. Cyndi, your new home is absolutely gorgeous!!!! After reading your sister’s blog where she said you had a pool I was hoping we would get to see pictures soon. Your back yard really makes me miss Kentucky!

  52. Thank you for sharing pictures of your beautiful home!! Love the way you redid the staircase.Where did you get the the pillows on your couch? Thank you again. I have been enjoying all of your posts.

  53. What a wonderful home, Cyndi!!!
    I painted my staircase like you did only I also made the posts at the end the darker brown!
    Don’t you just love the feel of a newly decorated house?
    Your kitchen it just lovely—a perfect place to congregate!!

    1. Love your new home, Cyndi! We have recently moved and are still working on our new home. We are doing a lot of the work ourselves, so that takes awhile! 🙂 I would love to know the color name of your granite countertops. Blessings!
