| I found some pretty DKNY button top sheers at Home Goods so I hung those and put up bamboo shades from Home Goods. Since they had the size of the bamboo shade to fit my windows they were in stock and not expensive since they did not have to be custom made. |
 |
| I found this beautiful patina on this dresser yesterday. I just knew it would be perfect in my new farmhouse decor. |
 |
| The bamboo shades add some texture and color in my farmhouse look. This is a recliner we had stored at my daughters from years ago. I thought it would look better than his darker recliner we had in the last house. |

| I love these beautiful windows in this condo and did not want to cover them up. I knew they needed some kind of framing. I think this was the perfect solution. Sheers and the bamboo cordless shades. With being in the third floor no one can see in so I really did not need anything on the windows but I thought this look would just frame them out nicely. I am waiting on my new kitchen cabinet doors to come in so we can finish up the kitchen next. I am still pulling together things and we have just a few more projects to finish up. I like the new whites and natural woods and textured pieces to the decor. We are loving how quiet this place is and how pretty the views are out our windows. Buddy is adjusting nicely to going for walks. It has been hot here like August weather hot and humid. Hoping some rain moves in soon to cool things down. Have a great week. Hope to have more to show you soon. xoxo Kris |

Gorgeous! and that dresser looks an awful lot like the one I found a few years ago and stripped all the paint off of. Nice find! (for both of us ;) ) xoxox
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW !!! I love what you did. Your home looks so inviting and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteEverything is looking good. Love your new place.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I know you are having a great time creating your signature look in the new place.
ReplyDeleteI like the new dresser, and the way you are adding wood tones with your white decor. Did you move your “office“? I hope all went well with the plumber.
ReplyDeleteMy office is in our bedroom.
DeleteEverything is looking wonderful. I am glad that you are getting settled and I bet you have some pretty views to gaze upon. I hope that you have a most wonderful week Kris. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteSo pretty....I love the new sheers and bamboo shades! The new dresser is just perfect too. Gorgeous!!!!!!!!

I am a little confused...where is your office? Is it in another room? I thought it was in the living room. Perhaps I am mistaken. Did you get rid of the plantation shutters...I hope not. Has your plumbing issue been resolved? And last, but not least, and perhaps it is the angle of your camera, if you are on the third floor, why do I see a street and another home? Your previous photos just showed trees outside your windows.
ReplyDeleteThe plantation shutters are in our bedroom and my desk is in the alcove in our bedroom. We are on the top floor of the old mansion so we see out to the high trees. Very pretty. The trees are outside of our bedroom window where my desk is.
DeleteLooking great! Love the natural touches! Did you get your bed yet?
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! There is something about woven blinds and white sheers that is just so calming and tranquil. Those windows are truly beautiful - love how they are inset. Glad to hear Buddy is getting used to walks, probably a big change for him. Jane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how it all looks together! Glad to hear that Buddy is adjusting well. Have a great week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, this is perfect. Your mantle fits perfectly on that wall flanked by the windows. Where is your dining area from that view?
ReplyDeleteOh, Kris, I am loving this new condage - hahaha! I just renamed your condo/cottage! Seriously, though, those window treatments and the wood/leather tones you're adding are really awesome. I love it.
ReplyDeleteKris! Does Terry have a man cave for his firefighter memorabilia? I'm really loving your addition of natural woods with your white. Nancy
ReplyDeleteWow lots of "anonymous" questions up there!!! Your house looks amazing as always. You can take any room and make it your own gf, it is a gift. I love the cute little dresser and your drapes are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sheers and woven blinds! Nice textures. You do have a very nice view. Is there enough room for Buddy to sit in the window and look out? The dresser is a perfect find for your new home. Hope your bed arrived and your cabinets will soon be there to be installed. How is Terry? xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou brought your fireplace! It looks perfect between the windows. The window treatments are lovely and tie in with the whites and natural woods beautifully.
ReplyDeleteKris, I really like the additions of the bamboo shades, the natural wood pieces, and the recliner to your white decor. I have always liked that look, and you pull it together so beautifully. Glad Buddy is adjusting so well, and that you are happy with the environment. Life is too short not to enjoy your surroundings. Looking forward to seeing more of your charming place. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteI love it, Kris and I am so glad that you are so happy in your new beautiful and quiet condo. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteWell Kris - I think that I am going to use just one word, to sum up all of your stunning changes - PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that Buddy is settling in well. Hugs, Gilly
Kris, you have really transformed your condo into something so beautiful and calming. The new window treatments are perfect. Love the view with the windows and your fireplace. Hopefully you are at the point where you can play with your decor to get the look you love. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's been oddly coolish here this spring. I love the look, the view out your windows and the pairing of wood with white!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I love it all so far and happy you are happy! I cant wait to see the rest in time. You have a knack for making e everything just flow together.
ReplyDeleteLove your window treatments. What a difference you are making!
ReplyDeleteLook how pretty your living room is! Love the window treatments and the mantel between the windows! And that dresser! That was a great find! Just beautiful. I love watching your decorating magic unfold. It looks peaceful!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cecilia
The window treatments pair nicely together. I have bamboo blinds in our family room, and I like them for the same reason you do, the added texture. Your condo is really looking pretty, My Friend! :D
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast you have everything set up in the living room Kris. The blinds and the shades look great with the dresser and the chair. I love the light colored flooring. It all seems to go together great. I hope you got your bed, and the washer/dryer situation taken care of! I am glad that Buddy is adjusting to his new home too. Take care and have a nice week Kris.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris. I think I missed something. Why did you move sweetie? Your little cottage was adorable. I hope all is well and it wasn't due to ill health. I love your new place but wondering why the move? You know us nurses, our minds always go to health matters. I pray you both are well.😘
ReplyDeleteNo health issues just wanted to speed up our retirement plans. Have a good week.
DeleteLovely! I actually prefer curtains!
ReplyDeleteLove the natural with the whites, Kris. It all looks beautiful! Your new home is a stunner. So happy that you are pleased, and enjoying everything. Hope Terry is continuing to heal. Good for your sweet pup to be adjusting so well. Smooches. xxoo
ReplyDeleteWow, Kris everything is coming out beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteIt was so hot over the weekend.
So happy you're all happy and Buddy is adjusting.
Hugs,
Cindy
This is so beautiful, Kris. Love the curtains and the bamboo shades and the texture and color of the leather chair. Hard to believe it's the same place from the "before" pictures!
ReplyDeleteKris, just beautiful. I love that chair and the commode is just perfect. I love how you have warmed up all those beautiful whites with the wood tones...xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,

Your getting there...........fun watching it come together. Did your bed come yet?? hope so......Blessings hon, and hope you get some rain soon. We are supposed to be in the 90's this week. ugh!! We sat in the sun but not for long as it was really hot.......so not looking forward to this..........lol
Take care
Wow, wow, wow!! That is a gorgeous look. I love everything and the way you have it all put together is fabulous. The windows look great, that chest is lovely and the fireplace is stunning. I can't believe it's the same place. xxoo
ReplyDeleteYou are moving along with getting your Home Sweet Home set up so lovely. I am happy to hear Buddy is adjusting well.
ReplyDeleteLove, Carla
Looking good Kris! I bet you like that extra large living room space! Windows look great and I like the wood chest you found. You’ve come a long way in a short period of time!
ReplyDeleteohmygosh, that washstand is totally amazing! the patina is perfect. I love seeing some wood texture in your new place and the recliner is perfect with those shades and the new antique piece. It's really beautiful, I can't wait to see more!! and oh those windows are fabulous, I know you must be thrilled with the transformation. xoxo
ReplyDeleteKris,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see things moving along for you! Your decorating looks beautiful. What a wonderful new chapter for you and Terry.
Kathleen
Just getting around here finally. It looks great Kris. I think you did a perfect job on the windows. I like sheers, too. They are just enough sometimes but I like them paired with the shades. Fun to see Terry’s old recliner back!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I can't wait to see more. I love your mantel in between the windows and the way the sheers and blinds frame it out. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteHappy sigh.....
ReplyDeleteThat sums up, how your decor, seems to me.
Gentle hugs
