Home Tour • Vintage Revivals

Here is a little back story about our house (because everyone loves those things right!?) We bought our house in September 2009, it was a short sale and to say it was well, tetanus shot inducing would be pretty dang accurate. Here are a few of the images from the MLS listing.

So if you are on the hunt for a home that is a little bit less than your ideal pinterest mansion, dont worry! You can change things to the point that they are almost unrecognizable and 100% you!!

So now is the fun part. What it looks like now, or at least for this second. What can I say, I love to improve and change things up constantly. In fact pulling this house tour together has given me THE itch.

Lets start outdoors, shall we? Our house is like 80% of the houses in Southern Utah, builder basic, tan stucco, one level. Mark my words, one day I am building a house that will turn St. George on its beige head. Last summer Court and I built the Chevron Shutters and they are holding up FANTASTICALLY. I love that they add so much to the house (you wouldn’t thing it would change it that much, but it totally does. So add shutters to your project list.)

I just showed off my newly summer-fied back patio last week, and I still love it, even though most of the plants are now DEAD. (that is what happens when you decide to stay in Salt Lake for an extra week…its a good thing the plants were the only casualty.)

My entryway was one of the first projects that I finished that I felt like was finally my style, no piggybacking things I had seen on other blogs, only me 100%.

I am so in love with my Living Room I hear angels every time I walk into it. This is actually the second makeover that this room has had in the short history of Vintage Revivals. You can see the first one here.
