Re: Home poll
Do you have white or stained wood work? White
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? All were one color. Most are still that color (a neutral beige). Very, very slowly changing that.
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? Our kitchen is a very pale, gorgeous blue right now. Next on the list is our master bedroom, which I'm thinking some kind of green right now. And then we'll go from there.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? Here and there. My favorite store is in Dallas though--called Samplehouse. There are maybe 5 stores in the Dallas area, and they have the most amazing stuff. Most of my stuff has been from there.
Where did you get your curtains? LOL, what curtains? We only have faux wood blinds right now. Window treatments are pretty low on my list of must-haves for the house right now, with the exception of our master bath--in there we'll be getting a Roman shade at some point.
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love my mantle/bookshelves. I wish our guest bath had actual tile in it instead of a giant plexiglass tub. But I can live with it.
my bookshelf!

Do you have white or stained wood work? It's a mixture. 2 bedrooms and the bathroom have white trim. Stained trim everywhere else. Our kitchen cabinets are painted white. I want to eventually paint all the trim white.
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? They were all white.
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? We painted the kitchen/dining room a soft celery green color that I absolutely love. The living room and hall are a brownish/sage color that's really hard to explain, it's called Mississippi Mud. I painted the guest bedroom a purple color, but it looks too Hannah Montana-ish, so it will be repainted, I just don't know what color yet. The other bedrooms/bathroom aren't painted yet.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? Hobby Lobby, Kirklands, TJ Max.
Where did you get your curtains? We only have curtains in the living room and some in front of the sliding glass back door. I think we got them from Khols? Or maybe just walmart. I can't remember.
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love our kitchen. It's nothing fancy, but I love the green walls and the white cabinets. I hate the ugly carpet in the bedrooms. We really want to replace it, but haven't for some reason. I also hate the window in the shower. It has that frosted stuff sprayed on it so you can't see in, but it just freaks me out.

Do you have white or stained wood work?
Most of it is painted wood trim. There was some remodeling done and so some areas have some exposed "barn wood" type trim.

When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted?
They were mostly painted a very very very pale gray-beige, but our bedroom is an awful sponged yellow and orange, and the upstairs bathroom is a pretty blue.

If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color?
We repainted all of the gray-beige walls with the same color, just to freshen it up, and because we like the color.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor?
Auctions and junk sales. :-)
Where did you get your curtains?
Target

One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand?
I love that it's 2 story and I hate that we are having foundation problems because of all of this HEAT!
Missing our little turkey.

Do you have white or stained wood work? Cabinets in kitchen and baths are stained, but base boards and doors are white.
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? A few were painted...Living/dining and lower entry way and stairwell is a golden yellow color, master bath and downstairs bath are a dark beige, hallway/accent wall by downstairs bed/ bath WAS a mauve-y color, Master bed WAS a dark olive green.
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? We have since re-painted the mauve accent wall a deep red and our master batha creamy white with blue accent stripes around the top. Remaining bed/bath (furture nursey) is still white and no clue what to do with it.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? A lot of it has come from Hobby Lobby...when we moved to CA I loaded up since there isn't one anywhere near us. On our 2 trips back home, since we drove I was able to load up again on more home decor stuff. Other than that a lot of it has come from IKEA.
Where did you get your curtains? No curtains anywhere but our bedroom...and I made them with some fabric that I bought online.
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love the general layout of our house. The open second floor plan with balcony, 2 car garage (which is a lot in SoCal). One thing I don't like is our counter tops in the kitchen. I had no idea how hard they would be to keep clean! They are probably 5x5in tile (white) with very skinny grout lines (white). I am hoping for some solid surface counters soon!!
Do you have white or stained wood work? stained
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? all one color
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? Painted them all. Some rooms are khaki, a couple are corriander and we have 1 red room.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? Hobby Lobby
Where did you get your curtains? Target
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? Love nothing really-hate that there is no room. So ready to move!
Do you have white or stained wood work? White trim, dark wood floors
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? Everything was the same color
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? No, it's too much of a pain for now
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? I've gotten quite a few things at The Market lately. I also like shopping online, but only at places with good return policies because I'm picky. I don't like having much "stuff" though.
Where did you get your curtains? We don't have curtains---just blinds
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love how open and airy it feels. I don't hate anything, but I wish our upstairs bonus and bath were finished.
Do you have white or stained wood work? stained a medium oak brown
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? all white walls. Our last rental house had mainly white walls, but a green wall and a yellow wall with sunflower border in the kitchen. I love accent walls like that.
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? N/A- we're renters
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? I haven't done much decorating, but it's mainly our own pictures from travels mixed with some handmade art pieces I pick up at art fairs and craft alliance stores. I like knowing that nobody else can ever have the exact same art I do since it's not mass produced.
Where did you get your curtains? no curtains, just blinds
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? The kitchen is huge- lots of counter space and tons of cabinet space with a walk-in pantry for food storage. I don't much care for the layout of several of the rooms- it doesn't make optimal use of the space (i.e. small living room shares a wall with huge master bedroom, which is the only access point to another bedroom sized "bonus room.")
Do you have white or stained wood work?
The baseboards are white and the crown molding has a dark stain. I never would have planned it that way, but it really works together nicely in this house. I typically prefer white.
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted?
They were all painted the same neutral color.
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color?
Nope, didn't paint any of them.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor?
I don't have a good answer for this, but I wouldn't say my house is highly 'decorated' either.
Where did you get your curtains?
I've been meaning to get around to curtains in most rooms for the last four years. I have wood blinds in all rooms and curtains that my sister made for me in the others.
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand?
I love the spa-style doorless walk in shower. I think the secondary bedrooms are way too small and the house is way too close to the neighbors. If I wanted to hear the old man next door hacking up a lung, I would have lived in an apartment.
Do you have white or stained wood work? We have white base boards and crown molding.
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? It is painted all the same color
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? No we haven't painted any yet. We are probably going to paint M's room gray soon since we are moving her into the bigger room in a couple of months.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? Craft shows and Hobby Lobby. Some of them were gifts or antiques from family members.
Where did you get your curtains? Target
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love the location. Our neighorhood is really nice. I can't stand that there is not enough natural light available. My living room always seem so dark.
Do you have white or stained wood work? All of ours is stained, but I would like to maybe redo the bedrooms base boards white.
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? all the same color
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? they're still the same color, but thinking about doing some painting.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? hobby lobby, kirklands
Where did you get your curtains? we don't have any yet. there's a lady that i think i want to have her make them.
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? i love our neighborhood and the location. i don't like how close together all of the houses are, but that's just how most neighborhoods are.
Do you have white or stained wood work? White
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? all the same color
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? no
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? Here and there. Usually antique shops, boutiques, etc. Our house has mainly western decor and it seems hard to find things I love.
Where did you get your curtains? Kohls and Target
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love the location of our house, I hate the lack of kitchen counter space.
Do you have white or stained wood work? It's stained. It will eventually be replaced and painted white.
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? Most of the walls were painted white. The hallway was red. One of the bedrooms was an ugly blue.
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? We painted the living room and our bedroom brown (I used two tones and sort of mixed them together with brushes. It's hard to explain, but it looks really good.) The ugly blue room is now a deep purple. The hallway is a better red. The kitchen will eventually be green. I have no idea what to paint the second spare room. It will most likely be left untouched until it becomes a nursery.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? Hobby Lobby and Garden Ridge
Where did you get your curtains? Target
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love that it's in the country. Our dogs have plenty of room to roam and it's much quieter. I can't stand the popcorn ceilings. Yuck. We should have scraped them, but we didn't and probably won't for a while.
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? An interior decorating store in my hometown, antique malls, Canton, my grandpa.
Where did you get your curtains? I have plantation shutters on all of the windows but our living room. I plan to have custom curtains done when I find some fabric I like.
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? Love the open floor plan. Don't like cleaning it.
Do you have white or stained wood work? White, but the cabinets in the hall bathrooms are painted brown and the cabinets in the master are stained
When you bought your house, were the walls all one color or were some painted? they were mostly wall paper
If they were all one color, did you paint any walls? If so, what color? We (H) textured and painted every inch of the house
Where do you get a lot of your home decor? We don't really have decor. The art on the wall I don't remember where we got, but we've had it for years
Where did you get your curtains? Lowes
One thing you love about your house and one thing you can't stand? I love the master bathroom. It is perfect and beautiful and I especially love the HUGE shower! I don't like the layout of the house though. We never liked the floorplan.
