Follow along as we turn this neglected 1940s hoarder house into our dream home.

Need help spicing up this area. It’s the first thing you see when entering through the front door.

How did I do? Let me know what you all think.

So.. I need help choosing a color for my home. Last year I pressure washed and got a good bit of the previous color (white) off. I don’t believe the house was ever painted since the siding was done. The siding is aluminum, and the paint had become all chalky and was very splotchy.

My family is over me asking for opinions lol, but I still can’t decide. I don’t want to have to repaint if I don’t like the color since I’ll be doing the painting myself, and the entire house is siding so it’ll be a pretty big job for me specially if I have to redo it.

The light pictured is what I plan to replace my current outdoor lights with. Brass is what all the original fixtures are in my home, and I would like to keep things close to what is original, but with some of my personal touch to it.

Colors 1,2, & 3 aren’t really my favorites, and I’ve pretty much decided not to go with them. However my neighbors like colors 1 & 3 (I’ve also asked them for help 😩). So I’m down to colors 4 & 5 the drawer pull I’m holding is an extra from when I did my kitchen, and hopefully helps with the visual of what all the colors will look like together.

I love option 4 with the trim and brass, but I love color #5 and If I go with 5 I would definitely do a lighter trim still cream but without the green undertone like the one pictured.

Maybe all the colors are terrible, and I need to start completely over ???

Thanks in advance for the help!

Y’all work your magic! I’m thinking I need a darker rug and darker curtains now that the built-ins are installed and painted black, but I’m not sure what would look best. Or tell me if I should go in a completely different direction!
And just to be clear — don’t touch my recliners 😂 My husband and I are absolutely not getting rid of them.
I’m a very visual person, so if anyone can show pictures or mockups of what you think would look good, that would be amazing!

Took 20 hours to rewire and polish this light. It had shorted out and took longer than I thought. Have another one that needs done also. Nothing better than polished silver. 1898.

Unpopular opinion...we have this wood throughout entire house, every room. We want to strip and paint these light color. 100 year old kitchens are dark, small and depressing

4 years ago today we finished the Reno of our entryway hall. To this day I am so so pleased with it. Here is a before and after. And yes we painted the faces of the stairs white. We tried to refinish them first and they were like black tar. Could not make them look good. All of the floors and decorative thread work is all original in our 157 year old home. Caledonia Manor

I discovered a treasure at a garage sale last weekend... a stunning vintage dresser with mirror that radiated positivity and had to shine in my home 🥹❤️ Should I unlock its full potential with a fresh coat of paint or let its natural beauty speak for itself?

I just got this sectional. I know turquoise isn't 'cool' anymore, but I'm so in love with it. It's been completely cleaned and fabric-shaved and looks like it's brand new out of the showroom. Can you all show me ideas for rugs, carpets, throw pillows/blankets? I was thinking beiges, browns, taupes, cream, and ivory neutrals that aren't grey or black, but I'm open to any suggestions. It's sitting in front of a fireplace and beside a huge front window, begging for curtains and sheers.

You guys have some great advice. Hoping for some help with this area! We built our home 8 years ago and I still can’t decide what to put above these windows. Help!
