Hello P&P readers!

I'm Shannon from 

I'll never forget the moment I met Cassie...

 I just knew I had to be friends with her and her gorgeous aqua sideboard!

It was fate. 

That first picture drew me in...

The pretty lines and that luscious color.

I tired to pry her address out of her.

(You know, for a recon mission!)

She was far to smart to fall for that though ;)

Cassie is just so sweet and talented.

Another one of the lovely people I have met since I began blogging. Today, I'm here to help out a bit and I'll be sharing our home with you.

My family and I live on the 

Oregon Coast in a 1920's cottage style bungalow.

Welcome to our very own home-sweet-home!

It's not a big, grand home... in fact, we down sized a lot when we bought it. We have really come to love it, and the smaller cottage house (my mother in law lives in that one) that came with it. Both were sadly neglected and we have put a lot of time, hard work, love... (oh, and money too!) into making them homes.

I'll start the tour here, on the main floor, in the kitchen.

We have a light, bright kitchen which is perfect for those gloomy, rainy days we get here in the Pacific Northwest.

A few of my favorite things in this room are the crank style windows and the vaulted ceiling. Except that I need to paint the ceiling, that part, I don't like so much!

You Can See More of Our Cottage Kitchen Here.

Recently, I lost my doors on a few cabinets.

And I really love the results! 

I can't imagine finding them anytime soon.

Using Shelf Paper to Line the Cabinet Backs was a Cheap & Easy Fix!

Right off of the kitchen, you'll take a step down into our sun room.

Our Sun Room in Aqua, White & Lime.

I like to decorate with whatever strikes my fancy.  Like this cruddy old door knob.

One of my favorite things.

On the main floor, you'll also find our living room.

Now, this room is always moving!

Admittedly, I have changed out the pillows, lamps and accessories since these pictures were taken after the holidays back in January.

I am constantly changing things up in here, more then any other room in the house!

Our Living Room.

We have one full bath on the main floor of our home.

It was a chore to makeover on such a 
 non existent small budget.

Two words;

White. Paint.

A Budget Bathroom Makeover.

And a half bath on the lower floor.

I told you... we down-sized!!

From three huge, full baths 

to one and a half.

Now this one... this one is Ugh-Ly!!

The Horror Story Bathroom!

We also have 2 bedrooms on

the main floor.

One is my craft and home decor storage.

Getting Organized; Craft & Decor Storage.

The other, is Austin's room.

(which you will not be seeing as he has expressed he doesn't wish to share it.)

Back downstairs... you'll find the master bedroom.

I shared this recently when I did a seasonal refresher and spruce-up for Spring!

Our Cottage Style Bedroom.

Like I said, I love moving things about!!
These are the fun colors I used for my 
latest bathroom do-over.
A makeover, makeover ;)

A Zingy Bathroom Refresher!


That's the great thing about decorating with neutral back drops...
You can change things up on a whim.


I seem to get lots of "whims"?

I hope you enjoyed my little tour.
I had a great time visiting at 
Primitive and Proper today.


Thanks Cassie, for having me!!
