Well, come on inside and take a look around. This is the dining room. I have one more chair to recover before this redo is complete. Our home has exposed brick throughout. And…I know, I know. You love them! We do too. It’s amazing how much character the brick adds to our space.
Here is the main level. It is currently a work in progress! We recently added board and batten and I have a lot of redecorating to do on this level.
Let’s go back inside and head upstairs to the second level.
.
Next we’ll tour the boys’ bathroom/guest bath. It’s a jack and jill style bath which allows easy access for both boys’ and guests. (And yes, as you might have noticed, we have a major thing for dinosaurs around here! Trying to decorate in a “classy dinosaur theme” is no easy task! I did my best to pull it off.
Here is the laundry closet. If you are “blessed” to have an ugly, small space with one of those builder-grade-racks-from-the-devil, this is just proof that it can look cute on a shoe string.
Here is the guest room-library-office. The Ikea bed pulls out to the size of a king. Guests tell me it is quite comfortable if you’d like to come and stay! I haven’t done much to this room since we moved in three years ago. It’s ready for a change.
I seriously cannot believe I’m sharing this horrible picture with you but it will make you appreciate the “after” all the more. Below is a picture of the craft room (in progress).
Okay, let’s head upstairs to the third level and take a look at the master suite. This is by far my favorite part of the house. We’ll start with the master bath.
And drum roll please….ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta,ta, ta…..
Finally! The master bedroom is finished! Be prepared to scroll a lot here because I went a little picture crazy. This is the first time I am showing off the recently redone master bedroom.
Now those of you who regularly visit me know where I put those gorgeous side doors!
My dollar-store-pillow-case-ruffle pillow.
I pulled this bedroom together on a very tight budget and I love it.
Now, let’s head out that door, walk down the hall and jump out onto the roof deck, shall we? This is where I retreat to during the kids’ book naptime, and where I sit with my laptop and comment on your blogs. Roof decks are necessary little oases when urban living!
Ohhhhh so pretty!!!! I am working on some pillows myself and I'm just loving your ruffle one. Sweet!!!
You've done wonders with your home. It's so homey and comfortable. Yes, I love those brick walls.
what a lovely home!!
when can I move in ? LOL
You have a gift girlfriend it is stunning!
I love your home, Beth! You've done such a good job througout, but the icing on the gluten free cake is your master! Love, love, love it. Also, I like that it doesn't come across as too feminine or too masculine so both sexes could be happy in it.
Such a wonderful and lovely home, I loved this tour, thanks for sharing your beautiful spaces! I especially want to have your brick wall and white vanity. Could you send them my way ? Thanks so much. Absolutely love!

This was fun! Your home is just gorgeous and I totally love that you live in the city. Your master bedroom is fabulous now!!!! The boys' room is too cute. I don't remember seeing it before.
My oh My! LUVING IT!
The brick exposed walls, the brick circle patio, your master bedroom bedding and handmade artwork,the boys gutter book railings are so cute & practical.
You have an amazing home and are talented in the decorating department.
You are blessed indeed.

I got to see some spaces that I've never seen before! This was a great tour, and I am madly in love with the new bedroom! That fabric. Where or where did you find it? Great tour, friend!
You have such a gorgeous home Beth! I love the exposed brick, the bedrooms, the boy's room is charming and your master bedroom is gorgeous! Oh, and I love the outdoor space! I live out in the country on two acres so it's fun to see an urban oasis. I love how you made used of every square inch outside. I really love the white vanity too. Did you purchase that? I would love to know where to find one. And your red kitchen is actually quite fun. It's all quite lovely!
Cindy
Your home is so lovely! I am so happy to know you! You have such a beautiful soul and wonderful creative heart!
Your home is beautiful and a perfect extension of you and your personality. I love the roof deck! I know I would spend a lot of time up there…how fun to see the whole neighborhood, almost like a treehouse.
Oh it's just so so beautiful. I love every single thing you pictured. Your style is just perfect. Care to come decorate my place? Hmmm…worth a shot!
A-MAZ-ING!!! The side doors look PERFECT in your room and the windows match the pattern in your blankets. I also love how the floral print of your curtains rounds out the squares. Just lovely!!! You did a wonderful job
~ Sarah @ Sugar Bananas!

Your house is stunning. I love it! Can you share what color you painted your Master Bedroom? I am struggling to find a similar shade.
Love it, love it, love it!!! Your bedroom is just yummy!!! The linens, the side doors, the ruffle pillow… I am coveting your bedroom!!! You have the magic touch. My cabinets are painted… you need a vacation in Charleston and come to make my cabinets pretty!
Your house is just awesome Beth. I love the exposed brick, the kitchen {even if you don't ;-D} and the numbers on your stairs. I adore your boys room and your master turned out just lovely!! I love the colors and linens you chose. And to have a balcony like that…oh, my. Retreat time!!!
Everything is wonderful, Beth!!

You do have a very charming home! I love how your bedroom turned out!
I can't wait to see how you change out the reds and redo the kitchen.
I am a new blog follower. I am seriously going to have to go have a prayer time now to confess my covetousness. You truly have a gift from God to have creativity like that; your house is absolutely beautiful. I have so many ideas now- where to begin!! Can you do a post on how to begin, and how to budget for drastic changes?
Thanks!!

I love, love, love your home. What city are you in??????? (is that too much info to ask??). My favorite is the kids guttering and all of the brick!!!!! Your home is classy, but so warm.
Do you need me to come help you get rid of that red in the kitchen? Wink, wink? Didn't we already discuss colors?????? Your cabinets will look so much better if you don't have red against them. Trust me on this!!!!!!!
Gorgeous!!! Every.little.bit!
Enjoyed seeing your beautiful home. The exposed brick on the inside of your home is just wonderful.
http://www.stories.pk i have visited to this site and found to get the latest story which is very impressive and informative.
Beautiful and I love how the master turned out! I think my favorite part of your home is how you make it feel so warm and welcoming!
Beth,
What an incredible tour! You even offered us ice tea! Wow! Hostess with the MOSTESS!! Your home is so BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for participating today! I loved spending time staring at your talent! The boys room is adorable!
Your home is lovely, Beth, and your new bedroom looks beautiful! I just love what you did with those wonderful old doors–what a great way to bring in even more of the kind of character you get with an old house! You can never have too much of such a wonderful thing.
Congratulations on being included in the Parade.
Sooooooooooooo beautiful, Beth! I like it all so much – even the kitchen and the guestroom/office/library….and those are just some of the spaces you want to change!!!!
I'm looking forward to watching you pull together the changes and teach how to do it on a budget!!
It's wonderful Beth, thanks for sharing. I think the dresser looks good white !
I love the color palette you chose for your master BR. It's different from the "norm" if there is one, and manly for the hubs, but feminine too with the floral you used. Perfect!I.just.love.it!
your master bedroom looks great! i am very excited for the main floor re-do.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home. I love those old doors in your bedroom.
Thank you for taking us on a tour of your house. Your home is lovely and I love your master bedroom, it looks great and I am looking forward to your tutorial on your ruffle pillow! xx
Your master is gorgeous Beth! I love it. The bed looks great and I love the colors you chose. I cant wait to get the full rundown. Thanks for having me over today!
Beth, that gutter book ledge is genius! I love it! Fab job kicking off the first day of tours! Your whole house is cozy and fun. It looks like we're not too far from each other. I'm in Glenside.
Great job again!
Thank you for sharing, you have a lovely home. Wishing you happiness, Katherine
I just LOVE your house!!
Holy macaroni, I absolutely love your home. Seriously. Gorgeous. And the boys room? I can't stand it.
Gorgeous, GORGEOUS house!
I'm house #4 today. I wanted to say I adore your home! The two patio areas are stunning & the boys' room is too cute – loving the gutter idea! The new master is also divine with the old chippy paint pieces you added

Hi Beth,
Thank you for giving me a tour of your lovely home. It appears so 'liveable', if you know what I mean.
May love and laughter fill every room, every day!

I thoroughly enjoyed your tour, especially the elegant dinosaur motif! Thank you so much for showing us around.
so much fun! it's lovely. thanks for sharing it with us/
Your bedroom turned out so beautiful! I am amazed how you get so much done, with the regular household duties, the kiddos and the amazing amount of posts you churn out. Do you sleep?
I love seeing your home like that in one sweep, makes me feel like I came over for that lovely ice tea and YES please I will take some of those pastries.
I had never seen your blog before but I love it! Your house is gorgeous, and yes, of course I love the exposed brick.
Wow! You truly have a beautiful space! You and I have very different decorating styles (I am a minimalist to say the least–I have trouble having "stuff" around me!) but I absolutely love looking at your ideas! Thank you for sharing! And I can't wait for your tutorial on the ruffle pillow case (my little girl would be jumping for joy to find that on her bed!) Thank you again for such a fun read!
Thanks for sharing your home with us. It is SO beautiful and you have done a great job! I especially loved the clock above your dresser in the master… be still my heart! I just might have to try and re-create it!
I love it! I could move right in:)
you've done a lovely job with your spaces! I espccially like the accents of the exposed brick – and the boys' room is so charming!
Your new bedroom looks great! Where O Where did you get that clear lamp that sits on the right side of your bed?!?!? I LOVE IT. Must have one. =)
And I am drooling over all your brick. To DIE FOR.
Lovely lovely lovely!
It is all beautiful!
I just found out about this tour! How fun to be asked to participate.
Love your master redo, Beth, it's gorgeous. I adore those drapes & everything looks so pretty. You did a fab job, as usual. I just love your house. Can't believe you might move!!
WOW! Your entire home is stunning, but your master suite and bathroom take the cake. I love it all. Amazing job, Beth!
The bedroom turned out great! Absolutely love it! I can't wait to see your living room turn beachy!!
Love your house: especially that brick wall! Wow!
Thanks for sharing!
You have a gorgeous home! I love those exposed brick walls. Beautiful.
-FringeGirl
What a beautiful home! Thanks for sharing!
Oh Beth! I have been wanting to come and see your home all day. I just got home! Love it all! What a beautiful, comfortable and stylish home you have. I love the floors, the exposed brick. Your bedroom is gorgeous. I love that window leaning up against the wall. So so pretty! ANd your patio and deck are so fun too. ANd of course the porch. LOVE it all! I could go on and on!
XOOX

Beth! That was so fun! I LOVED seeing your whole house & love every inch of it…even the stuff you said you want to change! I LOVE your bath sinks in both your Jack & Jill & master…I'm sooo jealous. And the raingutter bookshelves are how I very FIRST found your blog! I want to do them in our playroom so badly.
Your Master bedroom turned out GORGEOUS & I LOVE how you used those old, crackly doors…they are perfect in there!
Bravo!!! I LOVE your entire house! Your boys' room is absolutely adorable. The beadboard and rail is sooo cool. And your master bedroom is fabulous. Can't wait to read more about it!
Beth I felt as though I was there at your home, I really enjoyed that tour…your home is so warm and welcoming…your boys reading on the bed was too cute!
Gorgeeeeous!!! All of it! The master bedroom is just beautiful Beth, you've done such a lovely job on the whole house.
Wow, Beth!! First, I feel truly blessed to have been able to visit your home in person! Second, I'm scratching my head wondering how you do it!! You're an amazing decorator.
What a gorgeous home! So chic and cozy! Where did you get your chandelier in your bedroom? It is really pretty!
Sigh. Still excited to work on those lovely seashell pieces!
I love your house! Your decorating style is amazing. The thing I love best is that your house looks like a real home. So many times you see a fantastically decorated house that is totally unrealistic! Your house is a perfect blend of the two. I saw so many things in your home that I have added to my inspiration notebook. Thank you for such wonderful eye candy.
It would take WAY too long to list all the things I LOVE about your home so I will sum it up…your home is SO warm! BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for letting us in!
~Bridgette
So so beautiful! Ye the bricks rock but so does EVERYTHING else! I love it all! I'm house #5! I hope you come by for my little tour!

lauren @pure style home
Your home is so warm and inviting! I just love how you have really combined the rustic with the elegant. It looks wonderful.
Chelsea
I'm definitely coming back but I had to say..I have me an Asher too! I gasped when I saw the name in one of the pics..Love your blog.
Okay, I am almost morally against "theme" decorating but you pulled it off. Your nautical/seaside bedroom looks wonderful and I love that you did the brown and gold tones instead of the traditional blue. It makes it a very visually interesting grouping and feels very warm. Kudos, I am not remotely clever enough to think outside the box like that.
I'm late to the party–just now catching up on your blog–but had to say how much I love your house. Great job on your master bedroom, too! Everything is beautiful.
Just beautiful ! Your home is so inviting and the new colors in your bedroom are such great choices
Your home has so much charm! I love that brick wall…wish I had one. It adds so much texture and interest to your space. I also love that white vanity. So pretty! Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Beth! I love your house! Let's see….my favorite part is the : WHOLE HOUSE! I think I am a little partial to the outdoor deck…Is it off of the Master? Love it! Thank you for generously opening your home!
Vicky @ sleeping in an unmade bed
BEAUTIFUL! I love all of the exposed brick in your home…so jealous.
Really, Really nice! I just popped into the first home today and I can not stop. I love the master bedroom and the round mirror over the bed is fantastic! Also your frames with shells in them are really different. I will be back to see more and will add you to my list of Amies!
Kim
Love your home! I need to bookmark this page and feature you on my new site!
LOVE your beautiful home!!!! I am in the beginning stages of my master bedroom and bath re-do. Loved seeing how beautiful yours turned out. Thanks for sharing!
You have a beautiful home. The classy dinosaur motif both inspires and tickles me, with two little boys of my own. Thank you for letting us have a peek.
Very beautiful. Unique and wonderful.
I love all the colors and textures for a change!!!! White is nice, but I'm a color girl.
We live in a mountain home in Oregon and white just wouldn't feel right!
Thanks for opening up your home and sharing!
You have such a beautiful home and great taste.
Fabulous! Love the brick work, and all your special touches!
Marcia
wow, like right out of a Pottery Barn catalog but better.. what a cool looking home.. Fab kids room.. And love the play room.. very nice and warm home..!
Wow, Beth your home is incredible! I love that you have color in your home…it makes the space feel so warm and inviting. Also, please do tell, where did you get the clock in the master bedroom. I love, love it!
I'm so glad that I found this tour of homes, you have a grand beauty!!
Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Fondly~

Beth, your decorating styles is one of my VERY FAVORITE!!! I so loved this post. Every room of your home gets me excited, lol. It is perfect. What a beautiful haven you have skillfully created. I am both impressed and inspired. <3
Beautiful! Every single detail is beautiful!
I love your master bedroom! Especially that clock! Did you make it?
I just happened onto your blog tonight and can hardly get enough!
Your house is beautiful!!!
I totally love your house and decoating style!! What a great job you've done!
-heather
Lovely. You've given it such wonderful character. I know from row houses & the state they can be in (uh, your neighbor's). Kudos to you & your great blog too! Glad I found it.
Beautiful home! Love the bookcase stuffed with books… and the porch, too!
Thanks for sharing.
Nice! But all this work for a twin home?????????? Why not do this work in a single beautiful home????
oh, I'm so glad to have visited your home. It's really, really lovely. But I'm laughing so hard at "classy dinosaur theme"! the sure to be soon story of my life:)
I am in love with everything on your blog. Your bedroom is swoon worthy!Not to mention the rain gutter bookshelves in your boys rooms.Love Love Love.
Danielle
Sweetie I just found you and I love your home! It is so warm and cozy!!! I love the fact that you let your exposed brick out in the open and used it. I grew up in a home with the whole basement was like that and we did the same thing. BRAVO!!!! Do Halloween too!
Melissa
Oh, where did you get your 'black and white clock' from? I want one too!
Oh my goodness, your home is beautiful!!! My daughter (and now her new husband) live in a double in the city but it is not quite as nice as THIS!!!! I love your exposed brick, and your master BATH is gorgeous!!! Did you do that or was it like that when you bought the house? Amazing! YOur rooftop deck is another thing I LOVE!!! THanks for the tour (that I just found):):) XO, Pinky
I love your home! It's lovely.
I have been to your blog numerous times before, but I have never taken the home tour. It is to die for. I absolutely love every square inch of it. I have never seen a child's room so neat. Girl, I would have to hire a bulldozer to come in before I could show a child's room in this house. Love all of the charm and character that your home has. It looks like something that you would see on tv.
Thanks for sharing your home. What great bones you have to work with. You've really given me some inspiration. I too, am a HUGE Heather Chadduck fan. In a perfect world I would just have her come do my whole house and be done with it!!! Thanks.
Your home is lovely! I love your Christmas touches, but I flat out love your home! So glad I found your blog through Layla! -shaunna
This site is like a fine wine for me. I love every touch you have done – it is a beautiful home and you have made it stunning.
your home is just awesome. i love the brick walls. so glad i stopped by for a peek. ya done good girl , ya done good!
best,
Kristtie
Your home is gorgeous!!
I've just found your… er, blog. It's more than just a blog, it's like reading a letter from a friend.
I very much enjoyed your photos of your house. Quite nice!
