Not too shabby...My mission to flip this house!

If you were my one and only reader of my original blog, you already read about my long overdue epiphany relating to my home decor.  I'll plagiarize myself to get you all good and caught up.

I promise Ben and I are fun!  Our home decor, on the other hand, would have anyone convinced we have the personality of a tuber.  When Piper was under 10 weeks old we moved into our new home.  A newborn baby, full-time job, 2 cats, 2 dogs and a million other things took precedence over decorating our "crib".
The other day it finally hit me...Our house needs some pizazz! 
Our house (which I actually love the house itself) is completely mission styled - Beige walls and dark wood everywhere.  If I won the lottery, I'd have the walls painted white, the woodwork painted white and turn the whole thing shabby chic.  Not practical, but a girl can dream.  Soo...since I can't go completely shabby chic, I guess we're going to try to turn the house "not too shabby".

I know what I like when I see it, but certainly have never come up with a creative idea (which is where LKB and her offspring, Ben, come in) and I have no natural sense of style;  I wore overalls every day until a few years ago and just minutes ago referred to our house as our crib.  Obviously, adding style to our house will take much outside influence.  With the tips and help from my husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I am going to makeover our house. 

Since I originally had this grand realization in October, we've already done a little.  I'll share pics once I get our place cleaned up!
