Well, there are still quite a few things I plan on doing in here- mostly adding the bedside lamps to the wall and then decorating those tables and tying it all together. But, for now I thought I would share what I have done.

Living Room Redo- Board and Batten DIY
So for my birthday this year I requested a little spruce up of the living room/kitchen where I spend most of my time and where there are some things we have been wanting to change and add since we have been living here. We did board and batten in the living room then decided to use the leftover pieces and get some more to do the bathrooms while we were at it. It made such a huge difference and after doing that I changed out a few accessories and felt like I had a whole new house! I also touched up the white paint in my whole house (baseboards, cabinets, dresser, etc) so that made a huge difference too. I was able to complete the whole house revamp for under $700- here is the breakdown:

The Beach
I have been craving the beach lately- it has been a year and a half since I have been last...I think I need to go once a year to be fully satisfied :) I think that is why I tend to gravitate to beachy home decor. The blues, tans, and whites, along with wicker, shells, and light driftwood tones.
If I could I would live on the beach on the gulf side of Florida and be a wedding photographer out there. As long as I could take my whole family with me :)

Allie's Big Girl Room
Since Allie will have her own room (hopefully soon) I am thinking about how I want to do it. She is SO girly and loves everything princess, so I am thinking about doing something like that. Here are some ideas that I love and will probably use for my inspiration:

Big Boy's Room
I have been thinking about how to do Macsen's room once it is just a boys room (not sharing with Allie) and I am really leaning toward something very masculine and grown-up. Here are some rooms that I am using for my inspiration:
I love the idea of one dark blue wall...I like this color blue a lot:

Cozy Rooms
We just got home from staying at a cabin with some of our friends this weekend. It was a lot of fun and really got me in the mood for snow, winter, and the holidays. Lately I am wanting to cozy up our apartment with cozy knit blankets and pillows, fur throws, flannel sheets, candles, and everything warm.
How gorgeous are these cozy "wintery" rooms?

Living Room Remix
If you like change like I do, you get bored of your home every six months, pretty much on the dot. Since moving wasn't in the cards this time, I decided to mix things up a little bit. There are so many little easy and cheap things you can do to change things up in your home.
First of all: Declutter
Getting rid of odds and ends that you don't really need (or don't need out where everyone can see) makes SUCH a huge difference in the way your place looks.
Accent Pillows
They are so easy to change and inexpensive if you buy fabric on sale or clearance. I took all my mismatched pillows and made 4 faux leather covers for them. I LOVE them!
Picture Collages/Big Statement Pictures
You can tell I'm a photographer when you walk in my house because I hang photos EVERYWHERE. They are inexpensive when you buy frames secondhand and get your pics printed online. I actually really like this online company when they have deals going. Just don't print at Costco or Walmart, unless you don't care how they look I guess. It is fun to be able to change them with the seasons.
Accent Lighting
I actually just bought these paper lanterns secondhand for 50 cents each and strung white Christmas lights through them. You can find all sorts of cool lamps in secondhand stores or yard sales.
There are still things I need to work on in this room...but for now I am happy with the changes.
What are some things you do to mix things up in your homes?

An Andalusian Villa
I just stumbled upon this post of this gorgeous countryside villa and I had to share. Lately I have been wanting to change up some of the decor in my apartment, and I think I may have to use this house for some ideas.
Take a look:
