Wow, she really is good!! That bedroom is awesome. Love her bold pink color choice mixed with white and soft pink. Did she put the yellow floral wallpaper up in the entry? I love that too. The house has beautiful proportions. Is the outside of the house pretty too? I would do anything for a really old house that was in good shape.I live in a small, old town, but oddly enough, there aren't any beautiful older homes but 1 that I can think of and it is more of a humble, but beautiful farmhouse. Someone on here is fixing up an old farmhouse, I thought it was you Amy, but maybe not. She has a degree in history I think. - Briana |

That is so beautiful!! We purchased an old home last year (1912) and have not done a thing with it yet (dh completely renovated the house we sold...he's burned out LOL!!). But, seeing these photos has given me some inspiration to get going!!! |

Emily, you made me laugh. She DOES have a wonderful seamstress side to her as well as working with paper for different projects (not scrapbooking really but other stuff), but yes she is NEAT as can be! Come to my home, and well, eh there are nice convenient paper piles strategically placed. LOL. ~AMY

My brother and his family moved into our town recently. I just thought I'd share the slideshow she made of some stuff she's done. They'll be more put up the next few days, but what I especially love is her DD's room and playroom.
My SIL is a FABLOUS decorator, and her camera's pics doesn't do it justice. She loves painting walls, LOL, and you can see the polka dots she made, plus a lot of Uppercase Living things on the walls. Including the bloom wallchart in DD's room, the thing above the little bed, and more...as such as in the living room. I can't wait until she has pics of the dining room. She kept the red toile walpaper up. It's gorgeous.
Anyways, there you go. I live vicariously through her. I do admit, I get a bit jealous over her houses (they've moved a lot) and all the space she has to work with and decorate. We could never pull that off, but we are blessed with what we have.

ETA; forgot to say I think this house was built around 1890, and some parts added on. They have a lot to do outside of the house but the inside is very becoming. And one more thing, the last 7 pics were before pics of previous owner.
