In a previous post, I showed you our living room, which also serves as the room I bring photography clients for their Order Appointments following their photo shoots.  However, we do have a separate Family Room, right off our Kitchen, where we do most of our hanging out.  This Family Room and the Kitchen were a section of the house added on a few decades later after the home was originally built in 1951.

One thing  that we love in the Family Room is our projector on the ceiling.  Instead of having a TV, we project our Apple TV onto the entire wall.  And with the surround sound speakers Stephen installed, it’s fun because it feels like a movie theater in our Family Room at night.

What I don’t show you in these photos is the side of the room that has all of Bara Faith’s playmats and toys scattered everywhere.  Because who loves showing the actual mess? Haha! But this room is definitely getting taken over by all things baby, that’s for sure!

The previous owner used this room as a game room, and I’m still amazed that we were able to get the walls white after this room being blood red before.  The “before” photo is at the end!

And now the BEFORE photo of how this room used to look in all its red glory as the previous owners game room!

What a crazy week it’s been.  A few nights ago, we were getting ready for bed, and suddenly the sky lit up like daylight, thunder and rain started, and down came crashing another two oak trees in our backyard coming within feet of hitting our house!  A random and sudden tornado hit Jacksonville with the storm that swept across the south starting in Louisiana the day before.  We are so grateful that we are safe AGAIN after first going through Hurricane Matthew last October, but man, this little farmhouse keeps taking a beating with all these storms.  With debris now all over the place, I’m so sad to say that my yard no longer looks like it did in the first post when I gave you the outside tour.

Meanwhile… to continue on with the tour of the inside. One of the things I loved most about this house was the country kitchen. This kitchen was added on at some point later after the original house was built in 1951.  In the first picture, you are looking into the kitchen from what is now the butler pantry that used to be the original very very small kitchen.

In pictures I’ve seen of this add on kitchen throughout the years, it once had all pea green cabinets.  When we bought the house, the cabinets were white, but the walls were the pea green color still.  In my efforts to keep everything clean looking, I turned the walls white to match the cabinets. And of course added a chandelier.

This kitchen reminds me of my Aunt Ruby’s in her old Southern home up in South Carolina.  I have so many memories as a little girl running through that kitchen and sitting around with family at the middle table.  So when I walked in this kitchen, I saw the same happening for our family we were growing, and I knew this house was our new home.

Because, I mean, how could I not have a pink kitchen door? Or a chandelier?

We love this custom farmhouse table a friend of ours custom made for us!

A friend of mine made this sign to keep me reminded to always choose joy. And I love my Young Living Thieves dish soap, hand soap and fruit and veggie spray know I can clean toxic free!

I love these doors to the laundry room that came with the house!

I love my Young Living diffuser always sharing something yummy in the air to keep us healthy!

This hutch was passed down through the different owners of the home.

Our little coffee bar!

A day doesn’t go by that we aren’t using our Young Living essential oils!

The backsplash used to be superman blue. But I turned it black and white.

And as always, the BEFORE photos of what this kitchen used to look like!

Thanks for visiting!  More rooms in the tour to come next week…

Now that you’ve toured around the property outside, I want to welcome you inside our farmhome! When first touring our house when considering if we wanted to buy it, the previous owners had a lot of primary colors on the walls. I knew immediately I wanted to go for clean and simple and paint all the walls in the house pure white, minus some Sherwin-Williams Seasalt you’ll see in upcoming bedrooms. My decor in previous homes has always had a lot of black and white, with pops of pink walls, but this time around I toned down the pink walls throughout the house and reserved that for Bara Faith’s nursery which I will post in an upcoming tour entry.

For now, when you walk in our home, you enter through the screen door and pass by the vintage piano that has been passed down through the home.  I look forward to Bara Faith taking piano lessons one day on this antique piece.

It then takes you to our formal living room which I also use as my space for photography client’s Order Appointments, showcasing how we use canvases in our own home from our own family photo shoot.

Enjoy taking a look around our entry way, with more room tours to come in the coming weeks!

This entry way and door used to be Superman Blue with brass handles. We had the handle and lock swapped out for black ones and turned it all white! Farm Sweet Farm sign from Hobby Lobby. Rug from Lowes.

Bookcase and bookcase inserts from IKEA.  I’m sooooo glad Jacksonville is getting it’s own IKEA next year!  Woo hoo! The “&” sign is from Michaels. Also, the yarn loom on top of the bookcase was something fun I found in the attic space of this house that I thought was cool to bring down and use in the decor to pay regards to the history of the house.

Clock and “There’s No Place Like Home” sign from World Market. Gold mirror from Hobby Lobby.  Corner vase and sticks from IKEA.

I love how vintage these keys are on the piano.

B&W Pillow from ZGallerie (when oh when will Jacksonville get one of these stores?). Lamps from Home Goods.

Gold tray from Hobby Lobby.  Orchids from Home Goods. And of course I got my Magnolia Story book on display.

Rhinestone encrusted tufted damask sofa from LA Furniture.  I couldn’t find anything like this locally in Jacksonville so I had to go to the internet to shop for what I was envisioning years ago when we got this L shape sofa. Rug from Hobby Lobby. Glass table and blanket from Pier1.

Family photos by our beautiful friend Ginny Hobbs.

Gold mirror found at an antique store. Pink chair from a store that closed down.

Though our walls aren’t horizontal shiplap Joanna Gaines style, I love that they are vertical wood paneling for the shiplap feel!

Flowers from Home Goods.

I couldn’t help it, I still had to include a pop of pink somewhere in my decor to give it that Farmhouse Chic glam touch!

Hello Gorgeous tray from Swoozies. Gold Sea Urchin looking thing from Hobby Lobby.

When we lived in Nashville, I had these drapes custom made by Vickie Morehead. And I loved this bay window! I really need to curl up with a good book in this spot more often.

Fern from Home Goods.

And to show you how different it is from when we first toured the house, here is the BEFORE of the entry way and living room area. The walls in this space were previously yellow, and you’ll notice in the bottom photo one thing I did was paint the brick and cedar fireplace mantel all white too!

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back next week to see even more rooms!
