Join the incredibly talented bloggers of bHome App & Community for a special summer home tour open house, starting today!! 31 bloggers, 31 homes, one amazing week…and even a special $200 giveaway (but more about that after my home tour). By the way, if you haven’t already downloaded the bHome app, you should. It is a truly fantastic way to follow tons of amazing bloggers in one place (including yours truly).
It has been a while since I shared a tour of my home, come to think of it, have I ever really done a house tour? Probably not. Honestly my home is a big work-in-progress. When just about every piece of furniture takes a huge makeover to work, it takes longer than normal to create a beautiful space. All those DIY projects can take up lots of time!
So please excuse my work-in-progress, and I hope you enjoy the room projects I’m working on thus far!
My master bedroom has been a long time coming. The previous owners used it as a golf themed office, so transforming it into the perfect master bedroom (tiny as it is) took some work. To keep this makeover’s costs really low, I made my own Diamond Tufted Headboard from the existing headboard, and transformed several hand-me-me downs (such as the bedside tables).
Then to supplement our tiny closet, I built a DIY Wardrobe unit out of two Ikea Rast Dressers. My first Ikea hack! Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. 😀 And by the way, my hack is in a FB competition, and I’d really love and appreciate your vote here (you only get one sadly).
My eldest daughter is so happy I’m finally working on her space. She’s looking for that perfect “big girl” space. I’m thrilled since this room is used when we have guests. We’re far from done, but this is a great start to something lovely!
I have very girly girls, so my middle munchkin was very clear that what she wanted was a pretty princess-y pink bedroom. You have to see the before and after of this space…it’s pretty great (and that is coming from a non-pink loving mama).

What can I say, the rest of my living room may as well not even exist right now. I spend nearly all of my time at my “lounge” area. Confession, I like to pretend I work here, but really this is my Pinterest browsing area.
The area that was SUPPOSE to be my workspace / Pinterest browsing area was taken over by the hubs. He’s a computer gaming kinda guy…I think we’ll need two offices in the next house we move to. What I love most about the space is all the DIY gold accents, including the DIY gold dipped file box, and the DIY magnetic tins.
This room was an icky yellow color before, much akin to a mustard stain…yeah in a LAUNDRY room. Ironic right? Anyway, this is just a peek inside my laundry room, but I’m most proud of the organization of this space. It is one of the most useful spaces!
Yep. This might as well be the sum of the kitchen in the eyes of my kids. You understand…for growing kids and husbands, it’s all about eating. There is more to the kitchen, I swear, but my camera died before I could capture it…so you’ll just have to come back. I’m also in the process of organizing it. My favorite cabinet is my baking cabinet…it’s probably the only one that stays organized. Haha!
Hope you’ve enjoyed what you’ve seen. There will be a lot more after the summer is over. Being a homeschooling mom, summer break is when the magic happens!

Your home is lovely. I especially like the gallery wall above the upholstered headboard and the laundry room. Thanks for the tour.
Your home is beautiful, Ursula. I can’t pick a favorite ~ I love it all. I’m so glad to be on the bHome tour with you. 🙂
So glad you love it!
Great! Hope you are loving it! Good luck on entering!
Gorgeous home – that laundry room is a dream. I have black walls in my dining room and I love them so much – I don’t think they will ever get old!
Thank you! I loved your tour as well! I found so many amazing things to pin!
Your home is just stunning!! Absolutely loved the tour and so fun to be part of the open house with you!

I love, love, love your bedroom. The colors are just so beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for the tour, I love your home!
I love your home. It is truly beautiful. Could I ask where you got that lovely rug in your bedroom?
Thank you! Sure, I got it from Walmart for a very reasonable price! I list all the source and links for the bedroom here.
Oh, so beautiful! I love your style! Can you tell me what paint color you have in your laundry room and also where you bought the light fixture over your table? I would love to see more pics of that organized laundry room!!!
Thank you very much! Unfortunately my thrifting means I don’t always have a source. The light fixture was from a Habitat for Humanity Restore (lucky thrift find!), and the paint was in the mis-tint section of Walmart. Here are the numbers, you could have them mixed:
Walmart -Interior Glidden Brilliance
B 3Y27.000/48
E OY45.000/48
I OY35.500/48
KX 6Y36.000/48
What a lovely home – I adore your bedroom. Great job!
i just love your style. I also am so jealous of your “pinterest” lounging area. I don’t care where I am at, my kids will always find me so not sure that would work in my house. Happy summer!
Hahaha, ain’t that the truth! Honestly, I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t summer and the kids weren’t happily building teepees in the backyard (and probably destroying our garden), I wouldn’t be able to lounge quite so easily. 😀 Thank you for the compliment dear!
I love seeing your home Ursula. It’s just beautiful.
Thank you my friend!!
Hi Ursula! It was hard to choose but my favorite things is how you made the gallery wall over and around your bed. Stunning. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Thank you so much Ann!
Oh Ursula, how divine your home is. I love all these touches you’ve added in your make-overs and honestly, don’t we all need a specialised Pinterest reading nook. It’s definitely on my ‘TO-DO’list now [wink]. Thank you for the tour. I’ll be Pinning and sharing. Hugs ~ Kerryanne
Thank you Kerryanne! Hahaha, well then here’s too all our Pinterest reading nooks! Cheers!
Your home tour is so inspirational Ursula!! I’m drooling over your closet and that headboard? Just WOW!!! I love your art gallery wall above your headboard and how it ties in all the textile colors in the room! I’m so thrilled to be joining the bHome hive this week and sharing my home tour on Wednesday! 🙂 Pinned!
We are very thrilled to have you join bHome Heather! Welcome!
Thank you so much for the compliment!
Your home is so beautiful!
I so very much enjoyed your amazing Summer Home Tour…I must admit that I scrolled up and down many times to take every detail in!…
Thank you so much, it is so sweet of you to say!!
Ursula, I just ADORE your blog… and your style. The tour of your home got me so excited. How beautiful!!!!! Thanks for sharing your incredible sense of style and decor. I am so so inspired! Sharing on social medias.
Thank you so much! Right back at you my dear!!
Your home is stunning. Every inch, every corner. I love it!
Thank you for that! I truly appreciate it!
Pretty home, Ursala. Enjoyed your tour.
Love it all Ursula! A “golf themed office” huh? What a transformation!! Everything is lovely in your home, especially you!
Beautiful! Catamama2
I loved the tour of your beautiful home. Your reading nook is so cute. Thanks for welcoming us into your home. fondly ~lynne~
Thank you for stopping by!!
Everything looks amazing — your home is beautiful and I adore your little reading/Pinterest nook! Thanks for kicking off the tour — can’t wait to follow along all week! 🙂
Thank you! This has been a fantastic week of inspiration hasn’t it?
I am on the bHome tour bus! I started with Kelly and made my way to you… what a great way to start the day!
Your home is so charming… I love the way you have maximized space for your master bedroom. The closet looks like an extension of the bedroom with the repetition of theme using the gold framed print and the lovely stacked pillows in the shelves. It not only gives the illusion of more space it connects things. Very clever! Thank you for sharing your home and I hope you pop over to my house on Thursdays tour lineup!!
Thank you Cynthia! I look forward to seeing your lovely home on Thursday!
