33 Shade of Green Home Tour

I'm so excited to be here at Remodelaholic to take you on a tour of my home. Thank you Cassity for having me (and giving me a reason to clean my house, top to bottom!). Please come and visit me at my blog 33 Shades of Green. You'll find me cooking, crafting, decorating, and trying out all sorts of creative projects.

I live in a condo that is 4 years old.  When I purchased the condo it was framed in and ready for drywall.  The floor plan was pretty well set, so I didn't make any changes there, but the finishes and materials were all custom selected by me. 

.

Below is a photo of my back hall.  The garage entry is off of this hallway.  To the right are the laundry room and half bath. .

. The floor is 12" x 12" tiles of natural slate from Daltile.  Paint color is Benjamin Moore; Texas Leather AC-3.  I used this in the back hall, foyer, and master bath & closet.  This is now one of my all time favorite colors.  It's a perfect neutral - not too warm, and not too cool.  I especially love how it looks against the white woodwork & wainscoting. . To the left of the back garage door is a little nook. .

. Here's the half bath.  .

.

Paint color is Benjamin Moore; Georgian Brick HC-50.

.

. At the end of the hall is the kitchen.  My kitchen, dining room and living room are all one open space.  I can see everything from the kitchen. .

. The wood floor is bamboo. Paint color is Benjamin Moore; Huntington Beige HC-21. .

.

.

I don't like to keep a lot out on the kitchen counters but one thing that must stay out is this salt & pepper set I bought in Positano, Italy.

.

.

.

The three stools came from Pottery Barn.  I like how the warm honey tone picks up on the warm tones in the bamboo floor.

.

.

I love keeping fresh flowers in the kitchen - makes the whole room look better!  These came from the farmers market this weekend.

Here's the view to the foyer and the stairs to the lower level.

This is a view of my living room.

Just off of the living room is the screen porch.  During the summer, this becomes another room in my house.  I love spending time out here.

.

.

The patio set came from Pier One several years ago; the coffee table is from Target; the outdoor rug is from Grandin Road.

OK, now we are back inside and heading down to the lower level.

.

.

Originally I planned on having a carpet runner on the stairs, but once I saw the bamboo installed I decided not to cover it up.

.

. The first thing you see downstairs is the bar - makes for some great parties! .

.

 . Paint color on the lower level is Benjamin Moore; Decatur Buff HC-38. .

.

Also on the lower level is my home office.  Both the desk and wall shelves are from IKEA.  The tall shelf unit came from Target, and the back side chairs are vintage Herman Miller Eames chairs I bought at a school garage sale for $5 each!

. Next up is my craft room.  The paint color is Benjamin Moore; Golden Straw 2152-50.  The table is an old architect's drafting table I got from work a few years back.  It really needs to be refinished but I still love it!  The shelving unit was an entertainment center from IKEA that I used in my last house.  I was glad to put it to use in my craft room!  The drafting table sits where the TV used to be.  .
