Happy Friday! Today’s my birthday and I’m going to have a fun day celebrating.
I’m back with another inspiring real life Feature Friday! The Christmas season is right on us, so everyone is getting all decked out for the Holidays, but I do love sharing these home tours with you. This one is as inspiring as any that I’ve shared with you before. Meet Jamie, from So Much Better With Age. She’s a young wife and mom of 2, who has a passion for decorating and especially loves French styled décor. She and her hubby have transformed their 1980’s palace into a beautiful home for their family and I loved looking at her before and after pics on her home tour. Truly inspiring, so hop over and take a look at that. You’ll really appreciate the After photos all the more!
Love the flooring and staircase and how open and airy this all feels. Not to mention the lighting!
View of the spacious foyer and front doors.
I love these white builtins and fireplace makeover. Jamie has truly brought this 1980’s home up to date with all her special touches.
Light and airy, the family room is extra cozy.
This step down area got a complete makeover too and used to be small stairs with handrails. I love how folks really take makeovers and make them personal to their spaces.
She recently painted her dining room in a light gray.
Their kitchen is also white and light, just the kind of kitchen I enjoy too.
Glass front cabinets are so nice.
The breakfast area off the kitchen.
She even had room to create a beautiful desk area in the kitchen. Love that!
Her laundry room/mudroom space is so organized.
Love this wall of cabinets and that snazzy laundry set.
The master bedroom is huge and spacious.
Room for a cozy chair and ottoman, always a nice touch in a bedroom.
They had such a large area to work with, they created this stunning master bath suite. Lovely!
This bath makeover is a good one.
Another pretty bathroom, this is a small powder bath that also has a tub. I love this vintage tile!
The baby girls nursery is so cute.
And they did a fantastic job on their downstairs basement area. So light and bright now. Really, go and look at all the before pics, you will SO love the changes.
Outside the basement door is this pretty patio area, with plush seating.
I love what Jamie has done to her home. It’s evident that a hard working DIY couple live here and they are not afraid to get dirty and do lots of work to make their house a home. I love that DIY spirit!
I just love Jamie’s home! She has such a beautiful style – and she’s a sweetie herself!
Happy Birthday Rhoda! I start my day off with coffee and your wonderful spirit. I hope you have another exciting year!
Happy Birthday, Rhoda!
Happy Birthday Dear Friend. Love You.

Hi Rhoda,
Wow, today is my birthday too! No wonder we’re wired the same “decoratively” speaking. Let’s make it a good one in spite of this bad weather coming through. I’m in the Dallas, TX area and we’re already covered in ice. It’s going to be bad….. I’m hearing tree branches snapping already.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to you too, Edith!!
First things first, Happy Birthday, Rhoda! Hope you have a super day and year to come.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful house with us!
