My Pennsylvania Home Tour
Welcome to my Pennsylvania home tour! We worked hard on our home for almost eleven years and it was a true labor of love and DIY marathon. We’ve painted, built, repaired, installed, sewed, upholstered, sanded, refinished, ripped out and remodeled just about every corner.
Our goal was to balance the function we needed for our busy family with our (mostly my) desire for a beautiful home. I hope this home tour gives you some inspiration and encouragement to do the same in your home.

The home office leads into the new kitchen, which is in the modern addition to the home. It was built about five years before we bought the house. You can see the before and transformation HERE. The full list of sources as well as the total cost can be found HERE.
The kitchen was an awesome space to begin with, but the finishes and colors weren’t my taste. I painted just about everything…the walls, ceiling and all 53 cabinets. Jeff and I also made the butcher block counters and the custom range hood. My dad and I installed the marble backsplash, which was my first and most likely last tiling project! The floor tile was from Home Depot and the hickory wood flooring was from Lumber Liquidators.
My mom bought the pot rack for me as a house-warming gift. In all of the 8+ years we’ve lived here, that may be the one thing that has never moved! And yes, those are actually my real, everyday pots and pans. If you’re going to use things every day, they might as well be pretty!
The barstools are from Restoration Hardware.
We actually use the chalkboard for our grocery list. We write what we need as we think of it, which is handy since it’s just two steps from the fridge and pantry, and then take a picture of it before heading to the store.
The cow head and wreath are from Decor Steals and the sign over the stove is from Copper & Tin.
