Nothing makes me happier than sharing homes from people I admire, especially when I know that they are readers of Home Bunch. That makes my day! Sheila’s home, from @maisondecinq, is full of character and truly beautiful ideas. Here she shares how she renovated her home and where she shops:

 

“Hi, I’m Sheila of @maisondecinq and am so thrilled to be here on Home Bunch! I’ve had a passion for decor for as long as I can remember – from hanging baskets on the walls of my childhood room, to staying in at night in college to decorate my dorm room, to decorating my first apartment with all things Ikea. Though my taste has evolved a great deal, I still have the same passion for design and am now writing a blog of the same name. I’d love it if you would pop over and say hello at Maison de Cinq! In fact, Luciane’s wonderful blog is one of the first ones I read when I started reading blogs, and she has always inspired me with her exquisite taste and informative posts. Being featured on her site is indeed an honor and I’m truly humbled to be included.

To be honest, my house is not as large as many of the ones featured on here and my first thought was whether I belonged here or not! But hopefully those of you who also don’t have huge homes can get some inspiration from what I’ve been able to do with an average tract home. Our house was in pretty bad shape when we first bought it, but it had a good floor plan and we knew we could make it much better. Quite frankly, we bought a neighborhood and a school district more than we bought the house! However, it’s been a wonderful place to raise children and we’ve managed to create some character in our cookie cutter home!

Our kitchen we didn’t do a full gut at the time (that came later) but simply painted the cabinets and changed out the appliances and countertops. We really tried to create a home with more character, which is why we went with traditional wood windows with mullions, as well as wood floors stained a medium brown color. We tend to go with classics (especially for the big ticket items) as not only do they stand the test of time, it’s really what I gravitate to. I’ve also used antique and vintage items throughout our home. I love antiquing and it’s also a way of adding more character to the spaces. I also shop at Home Goods, Pottery Barn and the like, but I just make sure to balance those newer items with something interesting that not everyone else has. To me, your home is your story and this way it’s truly personal and reflects us.”

Kitchen

“Five years ago we were able to do a full renovation of the kitchen since we hadn’t been able to do it when we moved in. At that time, we completely removed everything and installed new custom wood cabinets, marble counters, tile and bead board backsplash and also rearranged the floor plan so that I could upgrade from a 4 burner range to a 6 burner and add a small pantry. The footprint stayed pretty much the same, but by rearranging cabinets, it allowed me to add those things we needed. We even got to add a built in microwave (something we hadn’t had before)!”
