So I was cleaning out my junk drawer today and I found an old SD card in it and I thought, “I wonder what is on this?” And to my surprise I found these pictures of a town home I owned 6.5 years ago when I first started getting into interior design.
It was fun to see the differences/similarities between now and then. Somethings never change… I still LOVE color. Some things do… I would say now I am a little less country, a little more rock and roll. =)
I still love a lot of coastal/cottage influences. A few less fluff now, however.
Here’s a quick little tour of my old stomping ground. My hand pretty much touched every surface in it, so I have fond feelings for this home.
In my living room I reupholstered these sofas, designed and help build the coffee table as well as the armoire, installed the wood floors, and painted everything.
Another view…
My dining room…
I wish I had the guts I have now back then. I would have painted the cabinets white… and too bad they didn’t have counter top paint back then… I always hated the mauve counters. But I still think it looks cute! The furniture were thrift store finds, painted and fixed up a little.
Wow! This is SO country. I upholstered the headboard, made a lot of the bedding. The drapes are literally push pinned to the wall and I hot glued roses to cover the pins. Good times!
Well… there was my blast from the past!
Hope you enjoyed! Happy Friday!
Oh NataLee – thanks for the blast from the past! I am trying to rid myself of every red gold and olive green thing I own! My house then was painted gold in the halls, red in the family room and olive in the kitchen. OVER it!!!
Isn’t it great when a blog post just writes itself for you? What a great find and a nice blast from the past!
Yes! Thank you for letting me indulge in my memories… =)
I know!! The reds, greens and golds… all good colors, but need to be used in new ways, I agree!
I can tell you still had mad talent even back then 😉 You rock!
