I bought my very first house this past December. I cannot even begin to express how obsessed I am with it. It was MADE FOR ME. I LOVE IT!!! It’s the perfect style, location, everything. I immediately began transforming it as soon as I moved in. It still has several things that I have to do to it, but I at least wanted to show you what I have done so far.
NOTE:
Still working on the rooms listed below, but those photos will come soon!
Not pictured: Master bath, guest bath, guest room, garage with large closet, washer/dryer room, staircase to secret room, backyard.
Sidenote: All prints on the walls were photographed by me. : )
BEFORE AND AFTERS:
Living Room: (say hello to Mischa and Sushi, they wanted to be sure and be included in the photos)
Master Bedroom:
Living Room: (don’t mind Sushi, just having a bath)
Kitchen:
Kitchen:
Living Room/Dining:
Could be a dining room or reading room or whatever. I made it my little cuddle corner/office: (I still need to change out that light fixture.)
One of the small bedrooms, that I turned into my TV room: (I still have to replace the carpet with wood floors.)
NOTE: There is another small bedroom, that I turned into a guest room. I am not done with that room, so there are no photos… yet.
Secret room that I turned into my dream girl closet, duh!: (Originally wasn’t sure what type of floor I wanted. Usually I am ANTI-CARPET, but I wanted my girl cave to feel soft and fluffy so I went with the most luxurious walking-on-a-cloud white carpet that exists. And I freaking love it.)
This room still needs some magic. Such as a curtain and furniture. One step at a time!
This wall is special to me. It has so many different gifts I have been given by my friends over the years. Along with a few of my own favorite photos and things I created. I plan to continue to add to this as time goes on. It makes me happy.
So when I was looking at listings online to find my dream home, my particular house’s listing barely had any photos at all. The ones below were all they had. Ick. Even though I couldn’t see the bedrooms, bathrooms, secret room, yard, etc… I still felt something for this one and decided to go look at it. I am so glad I looked past these awful photos and decor, because I am IN LOVE with my home!!

May I ask what the paint color is on your walls? Is it one shade or different shades of grey? I have exposed brick in my house as well and was going to paint the walls a similar color.
I’m not sure what color Courtney used – but I used “pussywillow” from Sherwin Williams in my apartment which is very reminiscent of what I’m seeing in Courtney’s photos. You should get a sample and give it a try!
Would you ever consider helping someone else decorate thier home and give websites and places where picked up some of the fantastic stuff you have put in your space. Im looking to hopefully have my own place soon and its just me and my daughter and we are super girly and you have the touch when it comes to beauty and i dont even know where to begin with all of that goodness. Also do you ever sell your photos(the scenery ones that is ) to be blown up and put on canvas for other people ? I just have a bajillion questions :)
Your house is absolutely beautiful!!! I love the decor!! My husband would never go for it lol!!!
Exquisitely Beautiful1 I love the décor and it truly feels like a home. I love everything about the house and the closet, every girls dream.
Courtney you are positively inspiring in every thing you do! You have much to be thankful for and SO much to be proud of. Congratulations on the many things you have accomplished…most importantly on just being you! It is so fun to follow your work and the peeks in to your personal life. Cleveland sends our love to you – we look forward to meeting you some day!
Can’t even handle how gorgeous this is. You definitely have the eye for good art!

Absolutely gorgeous!! Love everything! Would you mind sharing where you for the cherry blossom tree from? Pretty please :)
I am looking for a bed with similar style but no luck. Anyone know where I can find one? I found one of the pictures in a website called fabulous and baroque but I’m not sure if I trust it.
