I have recently moved into my new home before the New Year and as most new homeowners know the previous owners don’t always share the same design tastes. I quickly started with small changes, to updating and renovating the bathrooms and splashing a little paint to bring together some of the separated rooms. Before you know it you fill the space with you furniture and pictures and it starts to feel homey again.

But that’s were it all starts, and once you get comfortable and relaxed in one room the real fun begins…

What is your favorite thing about your home?

A few of my favorite things about my home would come from my Kitchen andLiving room. They’re separated down the middle but with nice tall vaulted ceilings in both it brings the two together.It’s the typical rancher layout with an open concept, which extends out to the backyard deck. It’s perfect for cooking salmon on the barbecue for friends and family, to just enjoying a quiet night in.

What is your favorite room in your home?

My favorite room would have to be the living room. It’s the first home I’ve had to enjoy a wood-burning fireplace that also backs into the kitchen as well. The living room is open with a bay window and a comfy sitting area to enjoy the cold nights around the fireplace.The newly decorative wood mantel and the freshly painted brick really draw as the rooms focus point. The front living room exterior wall is the only wall in the house to have wood paneling, which was in great shape. So with a touch up and some crown molding to finish it off, including trimming out the bay window it becomes updated and refreshed.

This old rancher now feels like home and with all the future plans we have its nice to just take a minute and enjoy the living room. A glass of wine, light a fire and layout the scope of this little old ranchers future.
