Alright, time for the final part of the 2017 house tour! I’ve already posted about the exterior, and the main living areas, so keep reading to see the bedrooms, bathrooms and the loft.
Let’s start with the loft...
There it is, truth...I bet you weren’t expecting to see a giant mess right off the bat were you?
The loft is the only thing upstairs (besides the attic) and it serves as the kids playroom. It’s perfect, because every single toy the kids own is up there and I can’t see any …

State of the House, 2017 – Main Living Areas
Alright, who’s ready for an interior house tour? Fair warning, this is not some beautifully staged, perfect house tour that you find all over home blogs, this is a very unfinished and unpretty tour so you know exactly where the house stands. Today I’ll show you the main living areas (areas in red below), and in the next post we’ll do the bedrooms, bathrooms, and loft.
Just as a recap for any newbies, this is a custom home that my husband and I designed. We hired a builder to …

The State of the House, 2017 – The Exterior
I feel like I need to give y’all an honest-to-goodness overview of the whole house. The entire thing, not just the pretty parts that we have finished, or the parts we are currently working on, but the whole house in all its unfinished glory. So today I’m starting with the exterior, since blogging about that part is quite a bit less intimidating that blogging about the entire inside.
So here we go, this is what the house looks like right now, May 2017. I didn’t clean it up for the internet, I …

Framing is complete!
If there was ever a post I was super excited to write, it is this one. Our house is framed! YAY! I love it even more than I did on paper. It was so fun to watch it go up...and it went up fast! The whole thing was done in about two weeks by a team of eight guys (and they didn't even work everyday).
So let's get to the pictures. There are a TON in this post, most of which will probably just look like a bunch of wood that doesn't make much sense...it's hard to give a house tour of a house …

The Most Embarrassing Post I’ve Ever Written
Three years ago today I started Domestic Imperfection. For the first two blogiversaries I put together giveaways as a thank you to my readers for all the support. This year I didn't plan anything though, mostly because it's a whole lot of work and only one or two people win things. So instead I'm going to do something better...I'm going to completely embarrass myself for your entertainment. If that doesn't show my gratitude then I don't know what does.
So here it goes.
Sometimes get …

The Official Domestic Imperfection House Tour! (And A Link Party)
Welcome to my house tour...it's been a long time coming, right!? Currently my empty house tour tab is one of my most clicked things on my site, yet there has never been anything in it. To think of all the poor DIYers and curious souls I disappoint every single day. No more! So welcome to my always in progress, blurry pictured, somewhat messy house tour. In it you'll find before and afters and links to every project post I've written about things in each room.
In celebration if me finally …

Meet Virginia
Today a first is happening here at Domestic Imperfection...I'm having a guest poster! Normally I shy away from this sort of thing but I really wanted y'all to meet Virginia who writes over at LiveLoveDIY. Now I don't know if she wears high heels when she exercises, if her daddy wrestles alligators, or if she only drinks coffee at midnight...but I do know that she does some beautiful (and cheap!) room makeovers. Just looking at pictures of her home makes me feel calm, organized and peaceful. …

Kickin It Old School – Our First Apartment
(That post title is more relevant than you think...our first apartment actually was in an old school!)
.
Recently our laptop broke, and as I was transferring all our photos over to the new computer I noticed I had a bunch of pictures of our apartment in NY. I thought ya'll might be interested to see, so here we go! This is the outside of our building. It's an old converted schoolhouse in a tiiiiny village a few miles outside of Fort Drum.

Wait a second, that picture is …

Our Pink Nightmare
My husband and I recently bought our first house. Besides the usual 3 bed/2bath list of wants, a had two biggies on the list. 1) I do not want to be able to see into my neighbors window from inside mine. In fact, I don't really want to be able to see my neighbors house at all. 2) I want the house to need some work. As a former Realtor I can assure that is an odd statement. A surprising number of my clients didn't even want to have to change the interior pant color. That's nuts! I wanted my house …
