House Tour: House Snooping at Sarah M. Dorsey Designs

Boy, did I miss House Snooping with all of you last week.  There were technical difficulties with the snoop planned for last week, but hopefully we can get them worked out for a future post because I wouldn’t want you to miss the great house that we were going to snoop around.

My husband, puppy and I moved to Central Coast, CA about a year and half ago and have been adding personalized touches to our rental ever since! We’ve done it by tackling one budget friendly DIY project at a time.

A lot of rooms in our rental recently got a major overhaul in March when we were participating in Creating with the Stars. We are still working on adding a few finishing touches, but here is what our home looks like now.

Entry:

Walking into our unit we have a pretty tight entryway. To maximize storage and space, we created a demilune table from a round table, perfect for holding keys and mail. The small size and round edges are perfect for our entryway because it doesn’t take up a lot of space!

Our folded rope dome light has been one of my favorite projects to date!

The bright coral upholstered headboard adds a pop of color and the custom curved arms repeat the edge of the nailhead design.

Moving up to the third floor, we have two more landings. Did I mention that it is really hard to move furniture up here? 🙂

The first has a tall ombre gallery wall

and the second has a custom stenciled wall with frame shelves.

The third level has one long room that we use as an office and living room. This room has changed a lot since March! We still have a few finishing touches, but so far I am loving the updates!
