Feature Friday: Uniquely Yours or Mine

Enjoy this update of a previous Feature Friday! It’s still a good one and she’s still blogging.
************************

The first room I found online for today’s Feature Friday was her laundry room.  It had me at hello.  Fun and funky with shades of blue, it sported white planked walls and a vibrant Amy Butler floral wallpaper.  Well, I was smitten. I had to see her entire house, so I checked that out too  I contacted Susan from Uniquely Yours or Mine and asked her if I could feature her on my series and she was happy to oblige, so enjoy the tour of Susan’s Louisville, KY home. She’s done some beautiful things in her home, as well as furniture projects too.  Multi-talented gal, Susan is.  She’s a blogger and a furniture hoarder (her words!). She buys, refinishes furniture and sells it and loves every minute of it.  In her downtime, she renovates her house, so enjoy the tour!

Looking towards the kitchen.

The the corner fireplace wall and TV console. Streamlined and pretty.

Console table on one wall with a rustic stool.

kitchen painted island

She’s begun renovating the kitchen and I hear there are plans to paint the cabinets white.  First thing though, she painted the massive island and added some pretty X details to the backside.

I love how that turned out.

laundry 4

And the space that stole my heart, my favorite room in Susan’s house, the laundry room.  Isn’t this the cutest?

laundry wallpaper

painted cabinets above and below and that oh so happy Amy Butler wallpaper.  You’d have to smile every time you walked in this room.

Bottom row of cabinets painted in a luscious turquoise.

laundry room2

She added white planks to the wall and really made this room a standout.  I love it all.  Those Ikea hooks are so cute in here and great for storage.

laundry room3

Drying racks and a DIY folding table too.  I see she couldn’t resist that cute turquoise rack on wheels from Ikea that I got too.

powder room

The powder room got an update too.

teen bedroom

She has two teen daughters and she’s done both of their rooms to fit their personalities.  Love this room.

teen bedding

This vintage bed with the modern bedding is so adorable.

teen bedroom2

Her other daughter loves purple.

guest bedroom

Guest bedroom ready to welcome company.

dining table and chairs

And I couldn’t resist showing you some of Susan’s painted pieces.  This is a 1960’s Thomasville dining set that she painted and upholstered the chairs in a modern fabric.  So cute!

painted credenza

An old credenza got a coat of white paint and new feet.  It turned out adorable too.

upholstered settee

And this piece might take the cake.  She did a whole post on how she took an upholstery class and found this naked French settee frame (see that link for details) and totally remade it from the bottom up.  That is just amazing. She added the webbing, foam, burlap and stuffing to the cushions and back and it’s such a cute piece now. She should be very proud of that one.  I wouldn’t in a million years attempt something like this.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of Susan’s pretty Southern home and the projects she has taken on.  I love women who are resourceful and keep that DIY spirit going!

Happy  Friday!  Here’s another style guide on Ebay, all about Fall decorating.  I love this time of year!   Click the Fall pic below.

    I could live in her house – it’s so bright with the windows and I love the calmness of the colors she uses. Yes, the laundry room is cute but her kitchen island is my favorite! I love how she made the x’ and the color is beautiful. I am headed to her blog page now!

    Happy weekend Rhoda!

    Very nice! Love all the rooms & especially how the old credenza was upgraded. I’m re-doing the master bath now & this gave me an idea on how to re-do the vanity. Paint it white, buy a new top & put feet on the bottom.

    The settee is adorable. I had no idea anyone taught upholstery classes. I must check into this.

    Another lovely house tour, I especially love the exterior black shutters and front door, I am thinking adding some shutters to my cottage and replacing the front door and the black really looks great.

    I have also just done up my wee laundry, I wish I had used a patterned paper after seeing this one as it looks so pretty. Mine is just a refresh, paint, new ironing board cover and a hanging rail.

    Thank you for sharing this inspiring home.

    I followed this blog some time back. But I unsubscribed after awhile because her language offended me. I have read many, many blogs over the years, but hers is the only one that I have read that uses uncalled -for language. There are millions of words in our English language without resorting to “cuss” words.

      Hi Nancy, I don’t follow her all the time so I had no idea. I do like her house though!
