A while ago I asked the question on facebook, "If you had to choose between a fixer upper that was low in your budget or still within your budget a move in ready house, what would you choose?"
I got a lot of mixed responses. But Claudy and I knew that we weren't meant for fixer uppers. We just didn't have the time or energy to commit to it. So we went with move-in ready. However, I knew that I wanted to make it our own.
Deciding on a theme for the house was rather difficult, Claudy wanted it to feel like the Carribean and while I like bright colors, I would rather they be accents than the main colors. However, we came to a compromise and I love how it has turned out!
Here are some before and afters. (Photos taken with my iphone)

I love this table my parents found us at a occasional sale in Zimmerman and I love my curtains from Target.
LIVING ROOM

I felt like this set up the previous owners had made the room feel small and with a one year old we needed some place space, so we changed tv wall and it opened it up a ton!
The dresser was a purchase at an occasional sale in Buffalo!

This took me two colors to get the feel I wanted

As you can see we went with a lot of COLOR.
We still have to do the basement, hoping to get to that in March!!!
