My House Tour–Bedrooms 2-3 and a Bathroom! (+ a little Weekend Recap)

Happy Monday, lovlies!  
This weekend was not so fun as I battled a bad cold that kept me down in the dumps.  I slept a lot and took a lot of medicine, and the rainy Halloween didn’t help either.  The only picture I have from this weekend is from Friday where I happily stood in line for my car tag.  Except that I didn’t get it because apparently the name your title is in has to match your name now–my title is still in my maiden name.  So I got a temporary tag and I have 20 days to get this done.  I also wanted to tell the man behind me that some phone conversations aren’t appropriate for public.


So how about another part of my house tour?!?!  In case you missed the living, dining, and kitchen, click here.
Remember that I’m still decorating and so not everything is finished!

Guest bedroom–this is a room where I just kind of threw things together and closed the door.  I’ll revisit it when I get a few other things checked off my list.
I used this Pottery Barn duvet in college when my room was a darker brown.
Downstairs Bathroom
 LOVE LOVE LOVE this floor!  I wanted the tiles that were the hardwood planks–except that I wasn’t about to pay $2 for each plank.  So as I was about to leave the flooring place, the man randomly found these tiles and showed them to me.  I was sold immediately, but I still had to convince Dustin.  I don’t think he really understood my vision until the bathroom was finished and then he loved them!
Bedroom 3 aka empty
This is the hallway looking from bedroom 3.  We’re looking into the guest bedroom and to the right is the open living space.

Thanks for taking the time to tour this part of my house!
Linking up with Biana today!

My House Tour–Living, Dining, and Kitchen

I’ve been waiting to finally get the chance to do a house tour of my own house, and today is the day!  I’ve decided to break my house tour down into a couple of separate posts because if not, it would be super lengthy.

Please keep in mind that we’re still furnishing this house because we basically started from scratch!  This post is something for me to look back on in years to come and remember how we started out in our first home!
(All photos taken from an iPhone so they aren’t the best quality.)

Welcome to the Shaneyfelt home!


This is the view right when you walk in.
This is in our entry way.  This piece of furniture is very special to me and was given to us by someone very dear to my heart when Dustin and I first got married.  It’s a gorgeous antique piece.
A better photo of our entry way.  I’ve actually added a runner to that space since I’ve taken this picture.  Our house is an open concept and it was a must for me when we started thinking about either buying or building.
Our living room 
I love this sofa table!  We bought it right before our house was finished for the purpose of placing it right here.  The deer antlers are from a deer Dustin killed.  He has a degree in wildlife science from Auburn and so the books the antler is sitting on has special meaning to him.  
Our dining room……empty.  Dining room furniture is next on the list but we need to get through the Christmas season first haha!  I love my chandelier and can’t wait to lower it over a table someday soon.  I for sure know I want a table and a buffet with curtains and a rug.  One day.
This helps to see the open concept a little better.
This is our breakfast area.  It was a horrible time of day to be taking pictures but it was the only time I had–sorry the lighting is so bad!
View from our breakfast room into the kitchen.
Two things about this picture: 1. I wanted drawers on either side of my oven because I saw lots of pictures on Pinterest of kitchen cabinets like that.  I read lots of comments about how people loved them and now I do, too!  I will have drawers like this in our next house!  2. The bottom drawer on the oven is a warming drawer–not a storage drawer like most.  It was the best upgrade I ever did!  
Other view of the kitchen.  The laundry room and pantry are both to the right.

As you can see, our house has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go. I know it’s a process and lots of people have told me that your house is truly never finished.  I have enjoyed making it a home for us to enjoy for many years!!

Our First Anniversary

Wow, I can’t believe that we’ve been married for one whole year!  You know you’re getting older when you say that time flies but it seriously does!  This past weekend was full of celebration–Saturday was Dustin’s 30th birthday and then yesterday was our one year anniversary.  

Being married to Dustin has been my most favorite thing ever.  I’ve learned so much about myself, him, and I’ve seen how much grace I constantly need so I pray that I’ve extended grace, too.  I pray that we glorify the Lord in our marriage and the decisions that we make.  We’ve accomplished so much in our first year of marriage–deciding to build a house and then actually building and moving, and I started grad school.  It’s been a fun year and I’ve had the best friend to experience it with! 🙂

Yesterday morning Dustin came in from work, woke me up by telling me happy anniversary, and then he told me not to go in the kitchen until I woke him up.  Well of course I couldn’t go back to sleep, so we exchanged gifts at 6:45 AM Sunday morning.  

 Here’s what I walked into the kitchen to see 🙂
I got a new umbrella, monogrammed rain jacket, picture frame, dress from Nordstrom, and a shirt from Anthropologie.  

I went ahead and got ready for church and Dustin went back to sleep since he had just worked a 12 hour shift.  When I got home, he was already up.  I had been thawing out of cake since Friday morning and when I opened the box I saw…
 Apparently I should have put it in the fridge after it was almost all thawed out!  Oh well–it still tasted pretty good!  Our cake really was so good at our wedding, and we were pleasantly surprised when we tasted the cake topper.


 Excuse the iPhone photo, but that’s what happens when it’s just y’all two.  We had to have a selfie before we went out to eat!

He’s so handsome!

And he made me take one, too.  This is the dress I left our wedding in a year ago!
Before we went out to eat, we stopped at Steel City Pops’s newest location in Bridge Street.  We love SCP!  I also got the cutest new dress at Anthropologie before we had to be at our reservations because my dress from Nordstrom ran small and they were back-ordered until September.
