Hey y’all!
My name is Pamela.{ From my front porch to yours} I was so honored when Debbie came to me and asked if I wanted to be featured on her fabulous blog! I met Debbie after seeing her on Savvy Southern Style and have ever since loved visiting with her. She is such a sweet heart and always has nothing by kinds words and inspiration to share. Thank you Debbie for this opportunity!

| Our home story started back in 07 when we moved away for two years. At the time that we moved from Texas our current home was for sale by the builder, ready to move in. Right after we moved to Baton Rouge the housing bust hit. Two years went by quick and well as luck for us would have it this house was STILL for sale in our old hood. After looking at many houses during our home buying trip we decided that we just could not pass this house up. We like to think that it was waiting for us. I have enjoyed making this house into our home. As you will see I am slowly but surely trying to turn into my own Texas Style French Chateau!;) |

| Welcome! Come on inside for a look around! |
 |
| We have a two story foyer and I just love all the light that shines thru. |
 |
| Our foyer chandy was a $25 yard sale find. |
 |
| As soon as you walk in you will notice that yes, indeed we have a couch in our foyer. I had every intention of putting it in our master but it refuses to fit around the tight corners and thus it resides here. We actually have grown quite fond of it being here. |
 |
| Our home office is to the left of the foyer. |
 |
| We had never had an official office before so I was thrilled taking on the challenge of decorating this space. All of the furniture pieces in this space were purchased at a steal second hand or even free. |
 |
| To the right of our foyer you will see our dining room. This is our first time having an official dining room. In our other homes the dining room has always been the boys playroom so needless to say I am loving this space. |
 |
| This is the view from the kitchen hallway. |
 |
| Here is our living room. |
 |
| Last spring The Hubster got it in his head that we could rip out our old flooring and install new wood flooring ourselves. That morphed into a fireplace redo as well. |
 |
| I am in love with our fireplace place. This project was a fairly easy and inexpensive one and one that we would attempt again. Attempting to refloor almost the entire downstairs is NOT a project we will take on ourselves again!;) I do have sites set on our stairs though. |
 |
| Our laundry room. I have dreams of ripping out the fluorescent light in here and replacing it with a chandy but so far nobody is on board with me. |
 |
| This is our stair landing. |
 |
| This is our breakfast room. |
 |
 |
| From our kitchen there is a tiny hallway to the guest bedroom on the left. |
 |
| This space had a complete makeover in the last year. |
 |
| It quickly became one of my most favorite rooms in our home. Even The Hubster tells me how much he likes it. |
 |
| This is the adjoined guest bath. This space had an unexpected mini reno a few months ago. I call this “Mommy’s Bathroom”. No boys allowed!;) |
 |
| We took down the builder grade mirror and replaced it with a custom mirror. Yet another yard sale purchase that was made over. |
 |
| We had to rip out the built in vanity. The Hubster knows how much I love the look of furniture style vanities so he told me to go out and find me one. I lucked up and found this one on clearance and he didn’t even bat an eye when I busted out my paint brush and made it over. That is true love!;)Thank you so much for taking a tour of our home and thank you to Debbie for inviting me over! I hope that y’all will stop by and visit sometime soon! |
