Home is Whenever I'm w/You

We randomly change, add, or update our home on what feels a monthly basis, and since the last time I shared photos of our home {Fall decorations} I decided to share a few more pics of the casa.  I normally don’t get to take many photos due to the chaos and mess that we live in {we’re both equally as messy, no matter what Cody says!}  but we recently had house guest

 so our house was pretty much 90% put together so I took advantage of this rare occasion & started snapping away. 
I would like to share before you scroll down, that I did NOT ask my dogs to be a part of any shot, this is how trained they are.  They hear my camera and literally pose, it cracks me up! 
If you see a few additions to our furniture collection, good eye!  I’m going to be posting a few DiY projects we have in the works but I’m conflicted with whether or not I should post them before I have the 100% completed photo… knowing me I’ll share them in their current stages and update them later, especially since it takes us about a month to fully finish.
*knock, knock, knock!*
“Who’s there? OH!  Hello, please do come in!”

When you open our front door, a table Cody made is to your left
This view is from the front door
This is our entry way hall with my wall of photos
I'm obsessed with it {pssssst, notice the new piece of furniture?}


Awe, our livingroom {I'm a firm believer that EVERY color goes together}

{pssssssst, notice that orange side table?  Another DiY project}


Our dining room



Our latest project was/is our Master Bedroom, so far, I'm loving it!

{PSSSSSSST, see those designs on the wall?  Cody is currently painting that on that wall entirely... HAND painting it!}

*Again, I did NOT ask them to do this, they're just picture whores*
We recently updated our Master Bathroom, I like it so far, we have a little ways to go


Guest Bathroom


Guest Bedroom




We have 2 more rooms in addition to these, my closet room & another guest room we converted into an office but those weren't fully in order so I thought it best to keep those doors shut!

FALLiNG for FALL

I occasionally cheat on fashion with furniture & home décor and today I did just that.  We took advantage of Pier 1’s Labor Day sale & our Bed Bath & Beyond coupons {that normally go expired before we use them, but HA!  Not today BB&B, not today…} to add to our fall decorations.
The kitchen is my favorite room in our house to decorate

To beef up our kitchen table’s center piece we added the two small pumpkins
I could have sworn we already had napkins, but sadly, I couldn’t find them in our linen drawer, so we had to buy some

I have an obsession with knick knacks, which does make our house feel homie, until we move, then it'll feels like a nightmare!  To add to our potential future hair pulling we added this cute little gal to our collection

Armed with tons of mini pumpkins I spread them out throughout our home, here they are making an appearance on the wall unit CoDiY built

…and again on our shelf unit

In the middle of me snapping a shot of our sitting area, Cody jumped in the shot.  Well played sir.

In addition to shopping for fall we also shopped for our house in general, here are our other purchases {some are from a few weeks ago, but I don’t think they deserve their own post}
1 of our kitchen matts
Diesel & Lashes get an upgrade
{plus, we don’t have to look at dog food bags anymore}
And my favorite purchase was the one we made a few weeks ago from Pier 1.  Not only was this once plug in lamp on clearance for more than 50% off, we also had a $20 gift card {Thanks points!}, and using a “lamp kit” CoDiY was able to convert it to a chandelier for our entry way
{For those that are curious, we purchase most of items from Pier 1, Target, Marshalls, Hobby Lobby, Urban Outfitters, Bed Bath & Beyond, garage sales, or CoDiY makes it.}
