Have you seen the blog Belle Maison?  If you haven’t, you need to stop, drop, and roll over there right now.  The site dishes out daily doses of decor which feeds the souls of do it yourself decorators everywhere.  

So, I was super stoked when the e-mail I sent Julie Thigpen last week about my design dilemma sparked such a fun response.  The interior designer and owner of Modern Chic Home asked if she could use my e-mail and attached photos to kick off her Dear Designer series.

Of course, I said yes! And if you click here, you can not only check out my living room, you can also read all about the pretty pillows Julie said would spice up my space.

I admit, my home decor isn’t for everyone, but it is for me.  And since you’ve now seen my living room, I thought you might like a little look at the rest of my home.

Latham’s Nursery is painted in yellow and green stripes with lavender accents.  We decorated it before we knew if he was a boy or a girl.

Here’s Reichen’s big boy room.  Cars and roads is the theme, of course.  We plopped a big red chair in the corner so when we read, we have a comfy place to sit.  An airplane chandelier hangs from his ceiling and he loves it.

Here’s the master bed room.  I’m in love with the chocolate brown, blue, white, and black color combination.  The canvas above the bed is a photo of my family and me walking in a pasture.  See the little people next to the big tree?  That’s us.

This is our guest room, with Reichen at the foot of the bed wearing his Lighting McQueen jammies.  It’s purple!  I told David, with all the boys in the house, I get one girly room.  And here it is.  My mom sleeps there when she comes to visit, so it works for us.

Most people in the Midwest use this little room at the front of the house for an office, but we really don’t have much of a need for one, so I turned it into a sitting room.  It’s the space we hang out when friends come over and have a couple drinks before dinner.

Our basement is an open space where the kids stash all their stuff and we play, play, play.  But I turned this specific section into a reading area and the boys and I use it every day.

So there you go.  A little glimpse into the space the 3 Stinky Boys and I call home.  I hope you enjoyed the tour!
