Twenty seventeen has been quite the year. Thanks to new and repeat clients, I staged 52 homes (35 last year) all while being pregnant and being new to motherhood. It's been a wild ride thanks to Des Moines real estate. Can't wait to see what twenty eighteen brings!
Happy New Year to all!
Here's my top 17 of the year.
We decided to turn the smaller bedroom that was once my office into the nursery. When I brought the house in September of 2015, I discovered not one but two layers of wallpaper! One that you see here and the one beneath literally just plain white textured paper. My mom rented a deluxe steamer and bought a laundry detergent because this wallpaper would not come off. So much so that we were losing piece of the wall. After a couple days, the wallpaper was officially gone, dry wall needed to be replaced and my whole house smelled like Tide.
The next steps were to paint the walls, ceiling (it was literally brown) and trim. The first color I chose for my office was Iced Apricot SW 6352. We thought we could keep this color for the nursery but decided it was a little too dark once everything was placed. We ended up landing on Nearly Peach SW 6336. I'm a big rug fan so I found the rug I loved first then started shopping for supporting items based on rug.
