House Tour  www.somuchbetterwithage.com

I’m so excited to be a part of this AMAZING Summer Showcase of Homes Tour!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

I’m sure you were just drooling over at Jenna’s house!  {Rain On A Tin Roof}

In case you’ve never dropped by before, I’m Jamie from So Much Better With Age. I have two beautiful kids and a studly hubby. But I’m way more handy than him {just don’t tell him that!}. I love finding things that are inexpensive or free and making them beautiful. Welcome to my home! I want you to see how I changed my 80s home into something more vintage, more french!

My Profile www.somuchbetterwithage.com

FOYER

 Out with the old, in with the..um..old. Well, at least older looking than the 80s! We had all the flooring in the house redone, all light fixtures replaced, and painting, of course. And as much as I wanted to keep that wallpaper {yuck!}, it had to go.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

I painted that old bench and made that burlap tablecloth. Yep, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Notice the carpet on that landing in the foyer. Say what?

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

LIVING ROOM

We had to take down that wall that leads into the family room. Peach granite? I painted it.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

We had built-in shelves made and a window seat. Yes, that’s an extremely large baby gate. I got to keep my kids corralled somehow.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 Oh yuck!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 Aww…so much better.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Buh-bye weird small stairs.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 You can learn more about my living transformation here:  living room before & after.

DINING ROOM

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

I must warn you about my dining room. It’s going to be completely transformed soon! Paint color, table makeover and other goodies. You must check back later to see how I’m doing with it!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

But for now I’ll let you look at it.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

You can learn more about my dining room here:  Dining Room Adventures.

KITCHEN

 Surprisingly, this kitchen came with beautiful appliances and this granite countertop.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

We painted the cupboards, added glass inserts and new hardware.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Kitchen Office

This little area was just screaming for a kitchen office.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Ta da!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

You can read more about the transformation here:  Add An Office To Your Kitchen.

KITCHEN {Eating Area}

I’m not sure what the previous owners were thinking with that HUGE chandelier.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

But then I did just go and get myself another huge chandelier in its place.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 You can read more about our kitchen eating area here.

 Here are some more goodies in my kitchen you may want to check out.

Butler Pantry

iPod Docking Station

POWDER ROOM

I know powder rooms don’t usually have a full bath but this bathroom is on our main floor and our bedrooms are all upstairs so I call it my powder room.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Of course, every powder room deserve to be pretty!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 Oh so 80s.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 I always think four mirrors are better than one.

LAUNDRY ROOM

{NEVER SHOWN THESE PHOTOS BEFORE!}

If you are an avid So Much Better With Age reader, then here are some goodies for you. Never before seen photos!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Yep, I seem to need a crock in every room 😉  I even did a whole post on crocks!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Um, did the previous owners know that those might not fit?

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

It’s okay, we fixed it. You just need to raise the lower cupboard, silly.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

I love our second {sneaky} back staircase.

Orange?

UPSTAIRS

MASTER BEDROOM

 So boring! I guess it’s a good thing we’re in the bedroom now as you may fall asleep looking at this room.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 Now that’s better!

You can see more of my master bedroom here and here.

MASTER ENSUITE

 This master bedroom is HUGE! Like the size of an apartment! If you can believe it, this was part of the master bedroom  Totally unused space. So we made it into a grand master ensuite!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 This was the biggest overhaul done in our house and totally worth it!

KIDS’ BATHROOM

{NEVER SHOWN THESE PHOTOS BEFORE!}

More of the 80s!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

  The paint, tile and vanity are the same as the powder room. That’s how much I loved it!

  BABY GIRL’S NURSERY

 Now this room doesn’t have a real ‘before’ photo. I guess when I first toured this house I thought it was so boring it didn’t warrant a picture. But I did snap a shot before I started decorating it!

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

 It was hands-down the funnest room to decorate!

BASEMENT/CRAWLSPACE

 Technically we don’t have a basement, just a crawlspace. But for a crawlspace it has a high ceiling. So just last year we transformed this unused junk collecting room into a playroom/man cave.

House Tour www.somuchbetterwithage.com

  I know, amazing, right?

      Thanks for stopping by, Deb. I got that rug from Pottery Barn probably two years ago. I needed a 9 x 12 foot rug and that was the only one they had in stock and it was on clearance. The only thing is because it’s wool it “sheds” a lot but since it’s been two years the shedding is not as bad. They seem to have rugs in the back that are on sale that aren’t on the floor so it’s a good idea to check with them. I got it for 50% off regular price.
      Have a great day!

    Where did you get the long cabinet in your playroom? Was it custom built? It is just what I need to organize my kids toys!

      July 28, 2013 at 10:08 pm

      Hi Karen, yes the long cabinet in my playroom was custom built. It was a very basic build, apparently. It’s a laminate type white cabinet with just some doors at the end. It works perfect for all the toys! Hope you can get something similar!

Instagram post 2169929051393555426_277411407 I’m usually dying to set up my Christmas decor the day after Halloween and I did do it this weekend but this year I kinda wanted to wait a bit after to just ‘be’ 🎄 But being a blogger & influencer, I need to do things early so you’re inspired when the time is right for you. 🎄 I do love these printables I created, if I do say so myself 😂 I took photos from my last trip to Paris and made them ‘snowy’. I’ve created them in color and B&W. 🎄Perfect for the winter season ➡️ Check stories for the direct link. You can also click the link in my bio. 🎄 Sharing my printables along with 20+ blogger friends 🎄 .

Instagram post 2166956522345413863_277411407 Garages aren’t the prettiest to look at but they do so many jobs. #ad Especially when you take your one car garage and turn it into an epic storage/workshop/ studio space! 💪🏻💪🏻 Our house is small and we needed just a bit more square footage for our tools, paint, shoes, an area to do DIY projects (um..instead of the dining room) and a space to store my light boxes for videos and a place for shooting videos. Not asking for too much, are we 🤔🤣 I’m blown away that we actually achieved all those wants/needs PLUS having lots of room to spare!! 😮 You must check out this tour and how you can get everything you need for a garage makeover from @bedbathandbeyondca. And hey, @addquast we lived to tell about it?! Blowing insulation into each wall cavity almost did us in 😂😂😂➡️ Check stories for the direct link.
